Carole King

You've Got A Friend

When you're down and troubled

and you need a helping hand and nothing, whoa nothing is going right.

Close your eyes and think of me

and soon I will be there

to brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,

and you know wherever I am I'll come running,

oh yeah baby

to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer, or fall,

all you have to do is call and I'll be there,

yeah, yeah, yeah.You've got a friend.

If the sky above you

should turn dark and full of clouds

and that old north wind should begin to blow

Keep your head together and call my name out loud and soon

I will be knocking upon your door.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am I'll come running to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer or fall

all you got to do is call

and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?

People can be so cold. They'll hurt you and desert you.

Well they'll take your soul if you let them.

Oh yeah, but don't you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am

I'll come running to see you again. Oh babe, don't you know that,

Winter spring summer or fall,Hey now, all you've got to do is call.

Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.

You've got a friend. You've got a friend.

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.

You've got a friend.

Love you lots honey

Da Count- life

Good, bad, busy, trying

Happy, sad, frustrating, satisfying

Loving, loved, hugged, kissed



Things are so often taken for granted

Life and love should never be on that list

Loving with the whole heart

Wanting with the whole soul

Listening with strong conviction



People, places, things

full of love, full of smiles

Love fully, love often, love hard.

A few pictures from our anniversary

Super Yummy Dinner




YAY!

My beautiful pink sapphire ring Joel gave me for our anniversary!

It was a wonderful day!

Who remembers this.....

It's been just about a year....

HOLY COW!

The trip home.....

was mixed for me. It was nice seeing people and the town, but sometimes (more often than not) my family dynamic is so off it just frustrates me. I honestly thought 5 months gone from certain people would have been long enough to at least warrant a hug or a hi, guess not.

I wish and hope that some of the relationships I keep will change, I attempt to change them, attempt to accept them but neither seems to happen. Maybe these relationships are so set in a screwed up way that change is impossible for them, maybe this is how they are to be, I am not sure. I do know however that I cannot and will not keep up always being the "trying" one. The one that makes the effort, the phone calls, tries with the hugs. I just don't have it in me to do so anymore.

I am having iron problems again, in tandem with girlie problems and really needed my family to talk to, bounce things off of and just be with. Most of the family was there to talk, listen, try to understand. The one person I needed wasn't. She always pulls away. I am always the one to over react, it's hard. She's the one person I need to tell me it's going to be okay, give me a hug and a kiss and let me know she's there- and it NEVER happens.

It's going to be quite a long time before I come back to visit. I'm okay with that now.


I'll get pictures up here soon.

Um

I think she's trying to kill me.....

LOL
