Loved you yesterday,
Love you still,
Always have, Always will

Hello!

Thursday, December 10, 2009

And...

I have just fallen in love...with a song.

Snowfall-Ingrid Michaelson

I want a snowfall kind of love,
the kind of love that quiets the world.
I want a snowfall kind of love,
'cause I'm a snowfall kind of girl

I want the snowfall kind of love,
that lights up the sky from below.
I want the snowfall kind of love,
that brings people to their windows.

Won't you bury me in your quiet love?
Oh, bury me in your quiet love.
Bury me in your quiet love,
and we will blow away.

I want a snowfall kind of love,
the kind of love that keeps you
in bed, all day.
Oh, I want to look through with you,
and watch it all melt away.

Won't you bury me in your quiet love?
Oh, bury me in your quiet love
Bury me in your quiet love,
And we will blow away.

A New Favorite

I was just reading an article about President Obama accepting the Nobel Peace prize, and with all the flack that he is getting (and the commitee is getting for choosing him), I think the speech he made was amazing...And I'm happy that he let everyone know what is up!

Here are a couple of my favorites from the article-

The head of the Nobel Committee, defending their decision:

In the past, the Nobel Peace Prize had "not just been used to honor specific achievements but also to give momentum to a set of causes. The prize can thus represent a call to action."

Bits from the President's speech (that I loved!):

"I ... cannot stand idle in the face of threats to the American people. For make no mistake: evil does exist in the world,"

"To say that force is sometimes necessary is not a call to cynicism — it is a recognition of history; the imperfections of man and the limits of reason,"



Now, I'm not into politics, at all...I don't vote, and I have my own reasons for that...And I'm not telling anyone what they should think about the President.

But...in my opinion...

The President is the President. I don't have to like him, or like the decisions he makes, but he is the President, and that demands a certain amount of RESPECT.

I'm not a fan of war...I've seen first hand what it does to the people who fight it, but I do feel that war is sometimes necessary. I think until we all heed Jimi's words: When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace...We are just going to have to accept that war (sometimes) is a horrible part of life.

I will leave you with the best thing that I have read in awhile, and will probably be up at the top where my quotes go (and that I just realized doesn't have my Jimi Hendrix quote over from my other blog) in just a bit.


"Let us reach for the world that ought to be. We can understand that there will be war, and still strive for peace."


It's going to be a good day.
