He said life is a gamble ..

and before you throw them dice 

if it's more than you can handle  

please take this advice 

He said stand your ground and don't back down,

that's the only way to win 

When life throws a punch son, 

you've got to take it on the chin 

I don't want you see the things 

I saw This old world can be so cruel after all 

Of all the things in life cound on one 

I'll always be behind you son 

He said life is a battle and it ain't even fair  

but if you stay up in your saddle, 

you're already halfway there

Take it on the Chin- William Elliott Whitmore

I'm in a weird music mood 

go with me on this guys

This weekend was needed. I enjoyed everything even when I thought I wasn't going to at certain points, God proved me wrong and opened up a door. Good stuff. The river was beautiful, clear and cold. I loved it. Our camp site was right beside it so Saturday night while everyone was chatting it up I sat beside the fire and just listened for a while. Listened to the laughter and bickering. Cards hitting the table. The life lessons and concerns. How to overcome. Thoughts. Crackling of the fire. The river. The creatures stirring. The wind. All so beautiful in their own way, All so unique and precious, and all so connected in a huge way. I loved it. I wish my camera was working.. dang it. Its time to get a new one. The setup was a great opportunity for shots but the time spent and memories made were ten times better. Good times with great friends.

This weekend I heard something and I'm not sure how to filter it. Still confussed but being challenged to research and find it is going to be interesting. On the way home I had a great heart to heart with Holly. I got to know a good bit about her and she did the same with me... we kind of picked each other apart and got to know each other better. I needed that. She asked some hard questions and I did the same. I miss that part of relationships.. I don't have that often... someone who challenges me and digs for stuff. Thanks :0)
