So being as it is a new year, I'm going to try and start blogging again. Everyone has resolutions that fail, but this isnt really a resolution, it's just me trying to blog a little more thoughts here and there for the new year.
The title of this post is strong because my aunt annette, who has become quite a crafty person and photographer over the years, has a new thing where for the 2013 year, you make acronym of a word you want to use for the new year, and mine was Strong, because every person has a chance to become stronger, to find what makes them strong, and overcome challenges. The fact of becoming strong or being strong is also a positive aspect, just a progression of moving forward pretty much. I want to be stronger in every aspect of my life. Spiritually, physically, and mentally.
With my new word I also found a song that I really really like the lyrics to, and I've decided it's going to be one of the songs for the new year.
Threre's a fight to be won, for the love you find at home
There is work to be done, before you rest your weary bones
Finding peace dont come to everyone I know
So I will love in this life til I finally have to go
Said, I will love in this life til I finally have to go
Well I know I have lived just a wrinkle of my life
And I hear so many times, itll be over if I blink twice
Please forgive if i dont walk off that plank stuck in your eye
Ive got my life to love and Im here to take what's mine
Ive got my life to love and I'm here to take what's mine
Growing up child is just a matter of time
You're giving all you got so wont you dance under the sun
Growing old feels like you're giving up your soul
I'd rather give it freely to the ones that I call home
I aint scared but not afraid of the world in front of me
I found my way without your help with a broken family
Take my breaks with my sins I'll do as I do please
With my friends til the end my lie is their loyalty
With my friends til the end my lie is their loyalty
I used to close my eyes to what stirred under my bed
Now their open wide to the monsters in my head
Instead of claws they whisper lies seeking fear and quiet steps
So I will fight in the light til I give my final breath
So I will fight in the light til I give my final breath
Growing up child is just a matter of time
You're giving all you got so wont you dance under the sun
Growing old feels like you're giving up your soul
I'd rather give it freely to the ones that I call home
Growing up child is just a matter of time
You're giving all you got so wont you dance under the sun
Growing old feels like you're giving up your soul
I'd rather give it freely to the ones that I call home
I love this song because it just has hidden messages and pretty much talks about loving your life, fighting for what you love and even a little bit of carpe diem. Working and living out your full potential. As well as overcoming the monsters that are will be in you life, and just to "fight in the light until you give your final breath"
There's always a bandwagon in January to start over and start over on goals and other things but if you really think about it, you can do that every day.
Just simply waking up in the morning, God blesses you with a new day, ability to breathe, good health, just to be alive, find new oppurtunities, and to learn new things. There are Soo many people in this world with unfortunate and horrible circumstances in their lives, kids with cancer, multiple diseases, world hunger, homeless people, and the list goes on and on and on.
Looking at my life and how very very fortunate I am is something try to remember all the time, and I know that there are benefits for myself in the long run, but even better is just simply the fact that my strength can be used to do good for other people in the future, and even now, I'm striving to make 2013 a strong year.
