Here’s what I think … for now

Life is too short to think about tomorrow, or later.  Do it now.  We all think we are going to live until we die of old age. There are no guarantees that this will happen, so live. NOW.

A crisis in faith means you need to have more faith. Not less.

Sometimes, music lyrics tell a story. It might even be yours. Sometimes, they are just great words set to great music.

Don’t always look for the underlying meaning.  Just enjoy things for what they are.

Don’t wait to tell people you love them. Do it now and do it often.

There is no delete or backspace button in life.

The answers to life’s questions do not exist in books, tv, or movies. They exist only in you.

Take a risk when it comes to relationships. Love is not easy. That is no reason to hold back even if it breaks your heart.

If you put your well-being behind everyone else, you are always last.  Put yourself first so that you have the energy, desire and happiness to be there for everyone else.

Choosing security over happiness never works.

Choosing money over happiness never works.

We are not here to work. We are here to live.  So quit living to work. Just live.

Who you choose to have in your life is a choice. If someone is giving you angst, share that and work toward harmony.  If it doesn’t happen, choose another path.

Listen to your gut. It talks but you need to listen.

There are always other paths in life.  How many have you tried?

Beauty is everywhere.  Open your eyes.

Looking outward means you are not looking inward.  Spend some time with yourself.

Sometimes, you just have to let go.

Why does it matter what others have that you don’t?  Will those things make you happier, more content, and more secure?

Enjoy today. Enjoy everyday.

Just be. Stop doing. All the doing and busyness in life takes away from the being.

Love hurts. Hearts break. Tears fall.  Then try again.

Friends are a great thing.  Cherish them.

You can’t make choices for other people. So stop trying.

Belief in yourself is extremely important.  So is appreciating yourself for who you are.

Love yourself.

This last one was said by someone else, but fits nicely: you have to put your oxygen mask on first before you can help anyone else. Is yours on?

Everlasting Love

He wasn’t looking for a pretty face
She wasn’t searching for the latest style
He didn’t want someone who walked straight off the tv
She needed someone with an interior smile

She wasn’t looking for a cuddle in the back seat
He wasn’t looking for a five minute thrill
She wasn’t thinking of tomorrow or of next week
This vacancy he meant to permanently fill

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

Back in the world of disposable emotion
In the climate of temporary dreams
He wasn’t looking for a notch on his bedpost
A love to push, pull, and burst at the seams

I need an everlasting love
I need a friend and a lover divine
An everlasting precious love
Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time

Is this love worth waiting for?
Something special, something pure

Is this love worth waiting for?
Bitterness will die for sure
Something precious, something pure
Is this love worth waiting for?

Can’t go wrong with some Howard Jones! Again,  there are no hidden meanings. Things just are what they are.
