Life Gets Away...


We're tied to our memories
They won't let us stray

We're not gonna lose ones we made yesterday
We look to our future
And we make all our plans
As if we control what is out of our hands

The world keeps on turning
I'm learning to see
Right where I am is where I have to be
You can't count the pages
All ages hear the call
No matter how hard we try
Life gets away from us all

We start getting older
The moment we live
Look over your shoulder
There's hindsight to give
Come good days and bad days
The sun's gonna rise

So why look beyond what's 
In front of your eyes
The world keeps on turning
I'm learning to see
Right where I am is where I have to be
You can't count the pages
All ages hear the call
No matter how hard we try
Life gets away from us all

No matter how hard we try
Life gets away from us all

-- Clint Black "Life Gets Away"


I know it's cheating, kind of. And I was going to share a YouTube video of this song, but I couldn't find one. I guess that's par for the course for this week, if you know what I mean?


I've had the kind of week where I haven't had "me" time, I haven't had time for chores, and I haven't had time for even the basics. I'm so ready for tomorrow morning and time at home that I can't even explain it.


On the blog front, I'm behind. I'm so excited about a few things. When that number that is currently "131" in the followers section hits 150, we're doing a giveaway (a good one!) - so just a heads up there.


I'm also going to ask for your help. On Friday, Feb. 10, I'm going to ask you to donate your blog post for the day to help raise money for tornado relief. I'll post details soon, but please, please, please. I'm begging here you guys. Each blog post of 400 words or more on ANYTHING you think about or pray about after the tornadoes that have devastated parts of Alabama and the South - whether you were affected or not - will raise $25 for relief efforts. Please - join me? Details to come on Monday.


XOXO,
Mrs. Jones
