GONNA RISE UP

Such is the way of the way of the world, you can never know

Just where to put all your faith and how it will grow

Gonna rise up, bringing back holes and dark memories

Gonna rise up, turning mistakes into gold

Such is the passage of time, too fast to fold

And suddenly swallowed by signs, low and behold

Gonna rise up, find my direction magnetically

Gonna rise up, throw down my haste in the road

Rise, Eddie Vedder

Lately things around my house have been pretty amazing!  

Last year we felt like we were trying to accomplish the impossible.  This year we celebrate the fact that we did.  

It is a crazy feeling to believe that anything is possible.  We lost all hope this September, but watched it come back in a flash.  In October our broken hearts were healed and faith was restored.  Now every morning we wake up to a beautiful smiling reminder.

The other night I was sitting on the floor tearing apart and cutting up magazines, working on my collages for the show.  Cuyler, confident from his first week of ukelele lessons was playing this song sweetly.  

It felt kind of magical.  

I am making art, he is making music, our girls are dreaming in their beds........what a difference a year and a serious amount of determination can make.
