Random Thoughts, Musings, & Mostly a Big Bouquet of Quotes. Journal of A Gal Who Grew-Up on Port Hueneme Beaches, Rode on Banana Seat Bikes & Won All the Marbles Against the Boys at a Norfolk, Virginia Naval Base in One Round.
Hello All, It’s been awhile b/c well, when you have a newborn all your time, energy, goals, heart & spirit are wrapped up in keeping the brand new life just happy & adjusted to this big world... Anyway, to make a long story of the past few months brief, I’ve had never felt the depths of love, commitment, hope, joy, pride meshed & intertwined tight with frustration, messiness, practicality and patience until I had my little, sunshine baby Johnella Bella (our jellybean, biscuit) who gives me giggles & snuggles all at the same time. It’s been like bootcamp like my doctor’s told me but I’m a better person, a better woman & now a better mother now that she’s entered into our lives. God’s blessed me, I say that over & over... Anyway, I wanted to share this lullaby that the Dixie Chicks did a couple of years back...pretty much sums up simply how a parent feels...lyrics are also below... Much warmth, Elle
They didn’t have you where I come from Never knew the best was yet to come Life began when I saw your face And I hear your laugh like a serenade
How long do you want to be loved Is forever enough, is forever enough How long do you want to be loved Is forever enough Cause I’m never, never giving you up
I slip in bed when you’re asleep To hold you close and feel your breath on me Tomorrow there’ll be so much to do So tonight I’ll drift in a dream with you
How long do you want to be loved Is forever enough, is forever enough How long do you want to be loved Is forever enough Cause I’m never, never giving you up
As you wander through this troubled world In search of all things beautiful You can close your eyes when you’re miles away And hear my voice like a serenade
How long do you want to be loved Is forever enough, is forever enough How long do you want to be loved Is forever enough Cause I’m never, never giving you up
How long do you want to be loved Is forever enough, is forever enough How long do you want to be loved Is forever enough Cause I’m never, never giving you up Is forever enough Cause I’m never, never giving you up
