Focusing on the positives
“If we don’t focus on the positive aspects of each beautiful God-given day, then we can hardly expect to make it through this life.” ~M

Silent words of love…
“Love… It’s as much in the words that aren’t said as it is in the ones that are, and it’s easy to hear those silent words if you just listen with your heart.” ~M

Katy Perry – Wide Awake
“Wide Awake”
I’m wide awake [2x]
(I’m wide awake)
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
(I’m wide awake)
How did I read the stars so wrong?
(I’m wide awake)
And now it’s clear to me
That everything you see
Ain’t always what it seems
(I’m wide awake)
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn’t dive in
Wouldn’t bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
‘Til I woke up on—
On the concrete
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I’m letting go tonight
Yeah, I’m falling from cloud nine
(I’m wide awake)
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
(I’m wide awake)
Need nothing to complete myself, no
(I’m wide awake)
Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lion’s den
I don’t have to pretend
(And it’s too late)
The story’s over now, the end
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn’t dive in
Wouldn’t bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
‘Til I woke up on—
On the concrete
Falling from cloud nine
(It was out of the blue)
I’m crashing from the high
I’m letting go tonight
(Yeah, I’m letting you go)
I’m falling from cloud nine
(I’m wide awake)
Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
(I’m wide awake)
I am trying to hold on
(I’m wide awake)
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side
(I’m wide awake)
I’m not blind anymore
I’m wide awake [2x]
Yeah, I’m falling from cloud nine
(It was out of the blue)
Crashing from the high
You know I’m letting go tonight
(Yeah, I’m letting you go)
I’m falling from cloud nine
I’m wide awake [5x]
#MidnightMadness – 5/7/2018
Every morning my girls and I come up with a new writing prompt, and then we proceed to write together for 10 minutes. Brianna is my 16 yr old and Autumn is my 9 yr old. Here’s our conversation from a few days ago…
Me – “How about we do the prompt, Aspirations of Autumn?”
Brianna – “Mom… that’s so one dimensional since we already know exactly what Autumn will do when she grows up.”
Me – “🙄😳🤐”
