Gravity - Sara Bareilles

Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
No matter what I say or do
I still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone
You hold me without touch
You keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain
Set me free, leave me be
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me
You loved me 'cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone
Set me free, leave me be
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me


I live here on my knees
As I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need
Here on the ground


But you're neither friend nor foe
Though I can't seem to let you go
The one thing that I still know
Is that you're keeping me down
You're keeping me down


You're on to me, on to me and all over
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long

Thunderstorms

I love thunderstorms. Plain and simple. They make me want to curl up in bed, listen to the rain against my window and the thunder chrashing outside and fall asleep. When it thunderstorms at night I feel especially lucky because I can do just that, in fact I did last night. Right as I was falling asleep last night it started to pour rain, lightning and thunder. I couldn't have been more content with my life at that moment.

I dont know why but I think that thunderstorm allowed me to relax for once in long time. I woke up this morning smiling. When my alarm went off at 8am I shot up out of bed positive I was late for work. Thankfully I realized before I got to the bathroom it was Tuesday. I don't have class until 9:30. I actually laughed and got right back into bed.

Finally got up at 9 ate breakfast, put in my laundry, got dressed in what clean clothes I had left (a zip up sports jacket and black exercise pants.. my stomach was slightly showing but whatever its movement class right??...) and went to class. My teacher called my name, looked at me and said wow you have a beautiful smile today! You look very happy for some reason! That made my day :-) I'd like to thank last night's wreckless thunderstorm for the smile on my face today. 

Shoes

I went shoe shopping yesterday. I had set out to buy a new pair of white leather keds seeing as how I have practically ruined the ones I have now. So I went into Shoe Carnival with the intentions of just buying those shoes and leaving. Well, I just happened to forget what wide array of shoes they had in their store... PROBLEM! I stumbled upon a pair of plaid polo shoes for $20 so of course I had to buy them along with the pair of keds I found. Anyways I am wearing these wonderful shoes today and I feel like a new person!!

Cherish the little things in life like a new pair of shoes :-)
