**: Sometimes ...

Sometimes you're the spider and sometimes you are the bug. Hope you get to be the spider this week ya'll!

And just because I'm in this kinda mood, I'll share with you my favorite song. It's "Bring on the Rain'" by Jo Dee Messina and Tim McGraw. I heard it again yesterday and it sent chills up my spine ... and I mean the good kind of chills. Yeah it's kind of a downer but the haunting beauty of the performance can bring me to tears every time.
edit: Now that I think about it, this song really isn't a downer, it's a song of resilience, of strength of character in the face of adversity ... a song of hope. And don't we all need a little hope these days? I know I do.

Another day has almost come and gone
Can’t imagine what else could wrong
Sometimes I’d like to hide away somewhere and lock the door
A single battle lost but not the war

(‘cause) Tomorrow’s another day
And I’m thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain

It’s almost like the hard times circle ‘round
A couple drops and they all start coming down
Yeah, I might feel defeated,
I might hang my head
I might be barely breathing - but I’m not dead, no ...

Tomorrow’s another day
And I’m thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain

I’m not gonna let it get me down
I’m not gonna cry
And I’m not gonna lose any sleep tonight

('cause) Tomorrow’s another day
And I am not afraid
So bring on the rain
Tomorrow's another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain.

Finally, so you don't think it's all doom and gloom ... the gratuitous shot which is a lot more representative of my mood today. You see, I have a friend and I thank the Goddess for her everyday. This is how she makes me feel.

Here's to a great week everyone. Can I get an "AMEN!" from the choir? Amen!

ok, now what if i don't dig sucking blood out of flies?:P j/k

great song. just makes me want to share the lyrics to one of my favorites...

'When The Rain Comes' by Third Day

When the rain comes it seems that everyone has
gone away
When the night falls you wonder if you shouldn't
find someplace
To run and hide
Escape the pain
But hiding's such a lonely thing to do

I can't stop the rain
From falling down on you again
I can't stop the rain
But I will hold you 'til it goes away

When the rain comes you blame it on the things that
you have done
When the storm fades you know that rain must fall
on everyone
Rest awhile
It'll be alright
No one loves you like I do

When the rain comes
I will hold you

glad you've got a friend who makes you shine
