wow. just ran to cvs to get a new notebook and some other stuff and a song came on that i haven't heard in forever. amazingly fitting. tempted to make a playlist to have on in the background for the big pow-wow. only half joking, btw. actually, not a bad idea...songs that make me feel reflective but strong, songs that empower me, songs that make me slow down. hmmm. well, I have a few hours. maybe. anyway, had to share.

Landslide

took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too

Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down

If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is that little voice at the end of the day that says, 'I'll try again tomorrow.'"
