life is a journey...

life is a journey  

it's been said that life is a journey that must be traveled...
well sometimes i get up, let my feet hang from the edge of the bed and remind myself to face and embrace the day that's in front of me.

at times, it takes everything i have to paint a smile on my spirit and go for the happy sell, but that's just me.

i know that if i did a 180 
i'd have a great deal of landscape 
i could brag about traversing...
if you were to walk in my shoes 
i'm sure it would offer quite a 
remarkable and breath-taking view.

i hold on to the hope inspired by marie curie's quote that i was gifted for something and that i am responsible to attain it...so i continue on in my journey, living life, whatever she puts in front of me, one day at time...with confidence that God is there with me.

"life is not easy for any of us. 
we must have perseverance 
and above all confidence in ourselves. 
we must believe that we are gifted 
for something and that 
this thing must be attained." 
-marie curie

Annie, this wonderfully layered image clearly suggests at our human desire to build a skin around
our journey, however if we peel behind that skin there are real feelings and experience which is the rich part of who we truly are. That is something, very well done Annie!

have a little faith in me: john hiatt

When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try
And have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

And when your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here darling, from a whisper start
And have a little faith in me
And when your back’s against the wall
Just turn around and you, you will see
I will catch you, I will catch your fall
Just have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

‘Cause I’ve been loving you, for such a long, long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
‘Cause for us, there is no end
And all you gotta do, is have a little faith in me
I will hold you up, I will hold you up
And your love, gives me strength enough to
Have a little faith in me
Hey hey
All you gotta do for me girl
Is have a little faith in me
