While this wasn't the song we had our first dance to, it is the one that I will remember most from our wedding day. As the reception ended, my cousin got out his guitar, and all our guests surrounded us and sung it to us as we had our last dance of the night.
Every MLK Jr. weekend, I take a trip down to his monument. It's one of my fav places in DC. I snapped this picture last week and while I was there this Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers song came on....seemed particularly perfect. The angle of the photo fit it all perfect. It's now my screensaver!!!
The lyrics I chose right now are: http://www.metrolyrics.com/pompeii-lyrics-bastille.html Applicable as we try to figure out life in a new-old city that we left, and have now returned to to put down roots. I chose the kit because 'How will I be an optimistic about this?' from the song made me think of being a vibrant yellow, against grey skies (because London)
I've loved this song since I first heard it in 1968 (yes, I'm dating myself). However, read the lyrics...its has as much meaning now as it did then.
So my page has a slight flaw, the pics are currently missing! I am having an issue getting my images off of the iPhone and onto my computer but just imagine that there are food pics of a cheeseburger that is stamped with "Cheeseburger in Paradise" on it, a pic of hubs and a relaxing beach! and that is what will eventually fill those gray holes, once I get the stinking cloud issue resolved!!
I can really relate to this, being in a similar situation with chronic disease and being stuck in bed far more than I would like. I can't do much, but I can read and scrap.
This hymn was played at my Uncles funeral. He was taken from this earth too soon due to a 4 wheeler accident. I continue to take comfort from this hymn.
My song is Singing in the Rain. It is special to me because it was a song my grandma loved and I was thrilled to get to take her to see the live show before she passed.
This song really speaks to me right now. It's a beacon of light in a slightly dark time, and a good reminder that dreaming can help overcome that broken heart.
