A new day ... or something equally cliche ....

[PEI]

Ummm, just so you know Eric ... Mach is looking for you ...

Sweetie ... you just did what you always do. You poured your heart into a post and dug deep for someone else. But I know you have been doing your own digging, can't wait to read it. I love your realness (is that a word) and the heart you put into your posts. I'll be watching for it ...

I've since downloaded the song and am going to blast it later. You know how much I love lyrics, how I get really into them.

You know where I am at...you know my demons...you know my fears... I know you have some of the same. We can and We WILL beat these fears...we can and we WILL Face these fears - BECAUSE WE CHOOSE TO. WE CHOOSE light over darkness. We choose to look forward instead of looking backward. We choose to look INWARD instead of looking outward. Thing about that for a second.

Yes I do. I know where you are at, and it's not so different than the landscape in my purple skied world. Those damn demons and fears. And yes, WE WILL. We will face them out of choice, and face them straight on. We will slay those beasts one ugly, dirty fight at a time. And the only way to do this is by looking inward. So 2x4 received, I'm done looking his way. I did what I needed to do to protect the children and I. I will treat him with civility and respect and I will turn my energy back towards me. Where it belongs. WE CHOOSE LIGHT over darkness ... you betcha baby!

And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, Imma face my demons
I'm manning up, Imma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now

FTR...if some guys from Detroit can do this...well then I am sure a short Canadian chick can. Stand up T and never...never give up.

THIS ^^^^ is my favorite part of the song. This is it in a nutshell. And yes, this short-assed Canadian chick is truly up for the challenge ... I won't quit. I deserve better than a quitter.

I'll throw another song at cha ... this one came in handy today too ... I'll post my favorite part ...

After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

~from Fighter by Christina Aguilera

You are not off your rocker, I'm listening ... and feeling and growing ... NO running, NO hiding.
Oh, and thank you.
Again.
((((hugs))))
