Happy Birthday LADY!

on April 12th it will officially be my mother's birthday.
i really love my Lady—clearly since my blog is named for her =)
birthdays are fun and i think my lady is pretty gosh darn fun. i really appreciate all that she has done for me, my family and extended family members and friends. i have several friends who call lady mommy, auntie and honey. She is always...maybe not always, but usually entertained by my crazy stories and laughs at me and my sisters adventures and or stupid fights. She is a beautiful fantastic person and i am so happy she is mine!

i miss my family

i've been stuck on songs from my favorite musicals, but lately Home and Soon as I Get Home from The Wiz have me all choked up.

Home

When I think of home
I think of a place where there's love overflowing
I wish I was home
I wish I was back there
With the things I've been knowing

Wind that makes the tall grass bend into leaning
Suddenly the rain drops that fall have a meaning
Sprinklin' the scene, makes it all clean

Maybe there's a chance for me to go back
Now that I have some direction
It would be sure nice to be back home
Where there's love and affection
And just maybe I can convince time to slow up
Giving me enough time in my life to grow up
Time, be my friend
And let me start again

Suddenly my world's gone and changed it's face
But I still know where I'm going
I have had my mind spun around in space
And yet I've watched it growing

Oh If you're list'ning God
Please don't make it hard to know
If we should believe in things that we see
Tell us, should we run away should we try and stay
Or would it be better just to let things be?

Living here, in this brand new world
Might be a fantasy
But it taught me to love
So it's real, real to me

And I've learned
That we must look inside our hearts
To find a world full of love
Like yours
Like mine

Like home...

Soon as I Get Home
There's a feeling here inside
That I cannot hide
And I know I've tried
But it's turning me around

I'm not sure that I'm aware
If I'm up or down
Or here or there
I need both feet on the ground

Maybe I'm just going crazy
Let myself get uptight
I'm acting just like a baby
But I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be alright

Soon as I get home
Soon as I get home
Soon as I get home

In a different place
In a different time
Different people around me
I would like to know of that different world
And how different they find me

And just what's a Wiz
Is he big, will he scare me?
If I ask to leave
Will the Wiz even hear me?
How will I know then
If I'll ever get home again?

Here I am alone
Though it feels the same
I don't know where I'm going
I'm here on my own
And it's not a game
And a strange wind is blowing

I'm so amazed
At the things that I see here
Don't want to be afraid
I just don't want to be afraid
I just don't want to be here
In my mind this is clear
What am I doing here?

I wish I was home

feeling of the day:

Passion |ˈpa sh ən|
noun
Strong and barely controllable emotion.
An intense desire or enthusiasm for something.

My mother said i am going to drive my self crazy putting so much energy into every little thing.
I like to think of myself as a passionate person [i will admit i occasionally get carried away...occasionally].

We tend to forget that passion goes more than one way. it is not just love. There can be passion in any emotion we are capable of feeling.

Should we deny passion to preserve any sanity we may or may not have, or take the passion as an honest reaction to life?

why deny what you feel? Denial only hastens insanity....
