Run

I'll sing it one more time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have no choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardley speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice and say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you raise your voice and say

Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want's to find an easy way
To get out of our little heads

Hush hush my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear.........always.

Lyrics by Snow Patrol

Dedicated to my sweet, amazing Jonathan. Because he believed I now believe. Thank you.

Live your dreams or change the world.......

"If you expect to change your life, live your dreams or change the world you have to move beyond your complacency.

You have to reach beyond where you are right now to get to anywhere that you want to go.

You have to reach... It takes effort... Your effort. And it's up to you........"

"Promise Yourself"

‎"Promise Yourself .........

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
...to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you. "
