Michael Buble

I wish you weren't so popular, cause then I could love you even more.

The Special Two

you know the one I mean, the one who out of nowhere enters your thoughts.
You are sitting, standing, talking or walking and for no reason, through no prompt or meeting they appear; as clear as day, as real as the world around you, almost as if to remind you that they were real, they are real, and they are not here.
The one it hurts to remember, but you never want to forget.
the one that given your time all over again, you wouldn't change a thing.
The one you cried for night after night, the one who ripped a whole in your chest.
The one you have to keep reminding yourself you are better off without.
The greatest love you've known.
You know the one I mean...

I know you

Driving home one rainy night a familiar song was heard across the air waves... and while singing along having a wonderful time I recognised that these words have been spoken to me.. not quite so harmoniously but none the less.

ME: I am not like a bird- I have my feet firmly planted on the ground and I'm here to stay.
YOU: are like a bird... you only fly away!

You're beautiful, that's for sure
You'll never ever fade
You're lovely, but it's not for sure
That I won't ever change
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
(And baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
(And baby all I need for you to know is)

Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don't know me that well
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

(chorus)

It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just that every time you try to tell me me that you love me
Each and every single day I know
I'm going to have to eventually give you away
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
Hey I'm just scared
That we may fall through

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
(And baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
(And baby all I need for you to know is)
(repeat x 3)

picture: we heart it

Someday I'll meet him...

Someday he'll come along, The man I love
And he'll be big and strong, The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile, I'll understand
Then in a little while, He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word

Maybe I shall meet him Sunday,
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day

He'll build a little home, That's meant for two
From which I'll never roam, Who would, would you
And so all else above
I'm dreaming of the man I love

someday I'll own a knitting store...

Olive Hoover

Little Miss Sunshine is one of my favourite movies, It is hilllllllarious!!

Today after watching it I got to thinking about how much we can learn from Olive Hoover.

Olive, like so many of us, is just a girl trying to get along in the world, trying to be herself and trying to feel beautiful in the skin she is in.

Olive enters a beauty pageant and although she is nothing like the other girls she gives it her best shot and at no point does she give up. She "kicks ass" and does so with as much courage and dignity as she can muster.

Sure she isn't the prettiest girl out there and her dance isn't exactly appropriate for an eight year old but all she is trying to do is her best, she is just being who she is and wanting to be accepted and encouraged.

Olive has the support of her family and together they shock the beauty pageant industry and get banned from ever entering another pageant again- but that's not the point, the point is Olive took on the world with courage and determination, she stepped out onto that stage with confidence and a belief in herself. While people started wallking out she kept on dancing.

Don't we all deserve to feel as confident and beautiful as Olive believes she is (as well as a pair of those killer pink cow-girl boots!)
