BEDA 26 - Opposites attract

People always say that opposites attract. And they're right. Take this candy for example. It's caramel made out of salted butter - and it's beyond delicious. The combination of sea salt and sugar is worth gaining a few pounds...

The problem with the attraction of opposites is that they may attract, but they also cause trouble. Two people who might be very different might end up attracted to each other, but to STAY together? Improbable or even impossible. And there we have our problem. Rules that are made in our everyday lives often tell us how to start something or how to judge something from the outside, the exterior... but they don't tell us how to continue or how to judge something when the outer layers are gone and the real topic is exposed.

I'm sorry for being a bit cryptic today, but I have these moods ;) bear with me.

Oh btw... I just finished Suite Scarlett and enjoyed it immensely. I will order the rest of Maureen's books very soon and just read them all. You know, because I want to. I have taken to a little song, very nicely covered by Dave (MusicFromBlueSkies on YouTube) called 10 things. Originally by Paul Baribeau, but I like the cover better.

And that's where I leave you today. With the lyrics of 10 things: Make them true and you'll be a little bit happier than before. Promise.

name ten things you wanna do before you die and then go do them.

name ten places you really wanna be before you die and then go to them

name ten books you wanna read before you die and then go read them

name ten songs you wanna hear again before you die, get all of your friends together and scream them

because right now all you have is time time time yeah,

but someday that time will run out.

that's the only thing you can be absolutely certain about.

think of all the things that are wrong with your life and then fix them

think of all the things that you love about your life, be thankful you are blessed with them

think of all the things that hold you back and realize that you don't need them

think of all the mistakes you have made in your life, make sure that you never repeat them

because right now all you have is time time time yeah,

but someday that time will run out.

that's the only thing you can be absolutely certain about.

name ten thousand reasons why you never wanna die, go and tell someone who might've forgotten

try to list the endless reasons why it's good to be alive, and then just smile for awhile about them

soon the sun will rise and another day will come

soon enough the sun will set, another day will be gone

and right now all you have is time time time yeah,

but someday that time will run out.

that's the only thing you can be absolutely certain about.
