Got To Begin Again......

Got To Begin Again.....
Billy Joel

Well so, here I am at the end of the road
Where do I go from here?
I always figured it would be like this
Still nothin' seems to be quite clear

All the words have been spoken
And the prophecy fulfilled
But I just can't decide where to go
Yes, it's been quite a day
And I should go to sleep
But tomorrow I will wake up and I'll know
That I've got to begin again
Though I don't know how to start
Yes, I've got to begin again, and it's hard

Well, it's been quite a while since I lifted my head
And I'm sure the light will hurt my eyes
I see the way that I've been spendin' my days
And reality has caught me by surprise
I was dreamin' of tomorrow
So I sacrificed today
And it sure was a grand waste of time
And despite all the truth

that's been thrown in my face
I just can't get you out of my mind
But I've got to begin again
Though I don't know how to start
Yes, I've got to begin again, and it's hard
Yes, it's hard, oh, ooh, ooh


Billy Joel....

Yesterday is gone, the past I cannot change.....
But tomorrow will be a better day,
Cause I know......

I got a lotta' love, still comin' my way....
I deserve a second chance,

and I'm the one to give it
It starts right here, right now...

Let it begin with me....

God Bless You America.....


On this eve of one of the most costly and politically charged elections of all time, I find myself holding my breath and saying a prayer. God Bless You America, not damn you, but God Bless You..... May we survive and thrive with the outcome of this election.....

Ladies Night .......

Every year, one of my best girlfriends and I throw a party for our favorite girl friends. Some of the faces are the same every year, sometimes they change. This year many of the faces have changed since I no longer work where she does and have added a few friends of my own.

We take turns hosting the event at either of our houses. This year I'll be going to her house. We send out fancy invitations, no children, no men, just women who remain friends throughout all the changes in our jobs, our men, through broken hearts, failed careers and life.


This years menu is: Brie, Crab Puffs, Artichoke Hearts, Spinach Pear Salad, Fillet Mignon, Bacon Wrapped Prawns and Caramel Cheesecake. And oh yes, this years beverage of choice is Wine. The designated drivers are standing by and the case of wine is being unloaded.

So to my friends with whom I'm about to consume large amounts of alcohol with and share in some great food and laughs, an oldie but goodie comes to mind.....
