Music

I love music. My ipod is full. I have an ecclectic blend of tunes that I call my favorites. I credit this to my Mom for introducing music to me, and to Ma and Pa (Jake's Mom and Dad), as they have a fabulous music collection and have shared genres I never even knew existed. Anyway...just wanted to share the lyrics of a song I fell in love with this fall while making a labor/delivery CD for when we had Jenna. I am not even a country fan, but this song brings tears to my eyes...and brings me right back to the first time Jenna was in my arms.

My Wish by Rascal Flatts

I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,

And each road leads you where you wanna go,

And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,

I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.

And if one door opens to another door closed,

I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,

If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile

But more than anything, more than anything...

My wish, for you,

Is that this life becomes all that you want it to

Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small

You never need to carry more than you can hold

And while you're out there getting where you're getting to

I hope you know somebody loves you,

And wants the same things too

Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but you never forget

All the ones who love you, in the place you left

I hope you always forgive, and you never regret

And you help somebody every chance you get

Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,

And always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, more than anything...

My wish, for you,

Is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can hold

And while you're out there getting where you're getting to

I hope you know somebody loves you,

And wants the same things too

Yeah, this, is my wish.
