BEDA 25 - Lonely. Thankful. Content.

This might be a really great weekend :) The party yesterday was fun, today spending a morning at a coffee bar reading.... Suite Scarlett! By our own Maureen Johnson.

I really really like this book and I'm looking forward to maybe finishing it tomorrow. It has a lot of the humour that I've enjoyed from Maureen's blog and the setting in a 1920ies hotel just fits perfectly.

I will go outside again now to catch some rays of the evening sun and might go to a birthday party that I've been invited to. But I could also use a more quiet evening. Cinema? Stay at home watching movies? We'll see.

As a last point, let me try to express that I'm feeling ok. It's been a while since I've been ok and I'm tentatively enjoying it. I'm still a bit lonely, but at least I have friends, a family, a job that pays the bills and is enjoyable from time to time, some money in the bank, mostly healthy... I should feel ok, even if I'm lonely sometimes. What I definitely feel is thankful.

Short blog post again today, but the weather draws me outside. At least Ingrid and I have been keeping up with blogging, our two other BEDA buddies have deserted us, sadly.

So these lyrics go out to Ingrid :)

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

Herald what your mother said
Readin' the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My oh my heh, hey
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

Time asks no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
You can't stop it, if you try to
This time it's danger staring you in the face
Oh oh oh Remember
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
My oh my heh, hey, hey
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

Hey! I have been reading at least! (Just not commenting as much as I should. Or blogging.)

I will promise a BLOG A DAY FOR THE NEXT FIVE DAYS.

I will not promise that they'll make sense though.
