Measure of a Man

K and I were recently riding together on the way to work when he played this for me and it's an amazing song. Rawr :-)

"Measure Of A Man"
by Clay Aiken

If one day you discover him

Broken down he's lost everything

No cars, no fancy clothes to make him who he's not

The woman at his side is all that he has got

Why do you ask him move heaven and earth

To prove his love has worth?

Would he walk on water

Would he run through fire

Would he stand before you

When it's down to the wire

Would he give his life up

To be all he can

Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?

If by chance all he had to give you

Was three words wrapped around your finger

Would that be deep enough at the end of every day

And how will you ever know

If a man is what he says?

Why do you ask him to move heaven and earth

To prove his love has worth

Would he walk on water

Would he run through fire

Would he stand before you

When it's down to the wire

Would he give his life up to be all he can

Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?

He never gives up

Lets go of his dream

His world goes around for his one true belief

Is that how you know

Is that what it means?

Would he walk on water

Would he run through fire

Would he stand before you

Would he will be your anchor when the dark unfolds

Would he always love you the best that he knows?

Would he give his life up

To be all that he can

Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?

Would he walk on water

Would he run through fire

Would he stand before you

When it's down to the wire

Would he give his life up

To be all he can

Is that, is that, is that, how you measure oh...

Is that, is that, is that, how you measure a man?

Sunshine

It's sunny out and I love it! What's even more important is that there was finally a resolution at work that was satisfactory for both the company and me. Plus last night I got to spend the evening with my best friend from the group and a special someone before he had to go to work. They came over for dinner and watched a movie. It was a nice night and today is going pretty well too. I heard back from the local tribe about possibly doing some volunteer work as well as doing a storage class working with watershed data collection. Still waiting to hear back from the coordinator about doing that. Trying to gather more potential pet care clients over the next several weeks as we are headed toward spring and that means the beginning to travel season. I am still trying to learn some new programming languages and put together projects for a professional portfolio to be able to share with future employment opportunities that come up. Next week on Monday I will be trying my hand first time at Karaoke with my close friend LJ. She's an awesome singer and I often get together with her regularly just to listen to her sing but since I am currently spending time bettering myself, I figure why not try something new. Besides at some point in the near future I'd like to take K with me so he can hear me sing :-).

Who Am I?

Been trying to work on figuring out who I am lately, dropping my guards, and letting the sparkle shine through for others to see. Not exactly as easy as you may think. Some of you are probably thinking 'we know who she is though' and you would be correct but at the same time not because all of us are constantly evolving because we never stop learning. Bottom line is I am trying to overcome my fears..to let go..and be me. Working out at the gym daily is helping..going to a bible study for women is helping..trying to get on with a new temp agency is helping..going to church...hanging with friends..eating healthy and getting enough sleep...all going in the right direction. Most importantly though, believing in myself and knowing I am a phenomenal woman. Knowing it is okay to say that I am a phenomenal woman with humility.
Now if only I had more dresses and could get my hair trimmed... :-).
