Fade Into You
Song by Nashville Cast

If you were the ocean and I was the sun
If the day made me heavy and gravity won
If I was the red and you were the blue
I could just fade into you
If you were a window and I was the rain
I’d pour myself out and wash off the pain
I’d fall like a tear so your light could shine through
Then I’d just fade into you
In your heart in your head in your
Arms in your bed under your skin
Til there’s no way to know where
You end and where I begin
If I was a shadow and you were a
Street
The cobblestone midnight is where
We first meet
Til the lights flickered out, we
Dance with the moon
Then I’d just fade into you
In your heart in your head in your
Arms in your bed under your skin
Til there’s no way to know where
You end and where I begin
I wanna melt in I wanna soak through
I only wanna move when you move
I wanna breathe out when you
Breathe in then I wanna fade into you
If I was just ashes and you were
The ground
And under your willow they laid me
Down
There’ll be no trace that one was
Once two
After I fade into you
Then I’d just fade into you
Then I’d just fade into you
Then I’d just fade into you
Then I’d just fade into you

If I Didn’t Know Better
Song by Nashville Cast

If I didn’t know better
I’d hang my hat right there
If I didn’t know better
I’d follow you up the stairs
Stop saying those sweet things
You know I’d like to hear
The horns are blowing louder
And they’re destroying me
Why do I keep drinking
Wasting my time on you
If I didn’t know better
Well, dammit, I do
There’s a hole in what you’re saying
I can plainly see
You have a lover that’s waiting, but baby
You’re right here with me
Ooh
You might as well be the devil
Oh keeping me out past three
Oh you’re the one with that apple
So baby, you can’t blame me
Why don’t you keep drinking
Get me one night with you
If I didn’t know better
Well dammit, I do
You know that I do
Oh, baby you’re right here with me
Oh, baby you know

Teardrops On My Guitar
Song by Taylor Swift

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won’t see
That I want and I’m needing everything that we should be
I’ll bet she’s beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she’s got everything that I have to live without
Drew talks to me, I laugh ’cause it’s just so funny
But I can’t even see anyone when he’s with me
He says he’s so in love, he’s finally got it right
I wonder if he knows he’s all I think about at night
He’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He’s the song in the car I keep singing, don’t know why I do
Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can’t breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She’d better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she’s lucky ’cause
He’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He’s the song in the car I keep singing, don’t know why I do
So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I’ll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight
‘Cause he’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who’s got enough of me to break my heart
He’s the song in the car I keep singing, don’t know why I do
He’s the time taken up, but there’s never enough
And he’s all that I need to fall into
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won’t see

Carolina
Taylor Swift

Oh, Carolina creeks
Running through my veins
Lost I was born, lonesome I came
Lonesome I’ll always stay
Carolina knows
Why for years I roam
Free as these birds, light as whispers
Carolina knows
And you didn’t see me here
No, they never did see me here
And she’s in my dreams
Into the mist, into the clouds
Don’t leave
I make a fist, I’ll make it count
And there are places I will never ever go
And things that only Carolina will ever know
Carolina stains
On the dress she left
Indelible scars, pivotal marks
Blue as the life she fled
Carolina pines
Won’t you cover me?
Hide me like robes down the back road
Muddy these webs we weave
And you didn’t see me here
No, they never did see me
And she’s in my dreams
Into the mist, into the clouds
Don’t leave
I’ll make a fist, I’ll make it count
And there are places I will never ever go
And things that only Carolina will ever know
Oh
Oh
Oh
And you didn’t see me here
They never did see me here
No, you didn’t see me here
They never saw me
Oh, Carolina knows
Why for years they’ve said
That I was guilty as sin
And sleep in a ‘s bed
But the sleep comes fast
And I’ll meet no ghosts
It’s between me, the sand, and the sea
Carolina knows

@shoelady60,

Thanks for the chuckle and enjoy the swim at your mother’s. Please use protection if you

Good afternoon Sheba, the rain came early again today. I hope you are keeping cool and your yard gets a gentle rain.
It poured down, not so much thunder and lighting. Just lots of rain and one down pour after another.
Last night I turned on the back yard floodlights and there they were. Two Opossums, the smaller one walking in the background near the edge of the woods.
The large one was eating the bird seeds off the ground and then started climbing the bird feeder. And had himself a feast😀.
I was surprised that they were able to climb. 😬 They are so poogy and lots of weight. My husband said oh yes, they will climb on the roof if they can find a way. 😱
I still think they are cute😁
Take care Sheba 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

@sheba2011

I like the way everyone got ice cream but me, you are right on target!!🍷🍷

Hot today, staying inside.🔥 May go to mom’s tomorrow to swim, last minute decision.👙 I did get sandals but not in the color I wanted. I can order online but didn’t want to pay the high shipping that was half the price of the sandals.

I also read a lot, every night in bed before I fall asleep. I have enough books in the house for another lifetime.📚 When it’s cool, I read out on the deck. Guess I could say it’s a hobby.

Don’t melt out there, I’ll make me a cone🍦 to go with the wine later!😂

Channeling Pain Into Compassionate Service

Channeling your pain into helping others spreads a tide of curative energy throughout the world.

Pain is a fact of being and one that permeates all of our lives to some degree. Since the hurt we feel may be a part of the experiences that have touched us most deeply, we are often loathe to let it go. It is frequently easier to keep our pain at our sides, where it acts as a shield that shelters us from others and gives us an identity — that of victim — from which we can draw bitter strength. However, pain’s universality can also empower us to use our hurt to help others heal. Since no pain is any greater or more profound than any other, what you feel can give you the ability to help bring about the recovery of individuals whose hurts are both similar to and vastly different from your own. You can channel your pain into transformative and healing love that aids you in helping individuals on a one-to-one basis and spreading a tide of curative energy throughout the world.

The capacity to heal others evolves naturally within those who are ready to disassociate themselves from their identity as victims. In fact, the simple decision to put aside the pain we have carried is what grants us the strength to redeem that pain through service. There are many ways to use the hurt you feel to help others. Your pain gives you a unique insight into the minds of people who have experienced trauma and heartache. You can draw from the wellspring of strength that allowed you to emerge on the other side of a painful experience and pass that strength to individuals still suffering from their wounds. You may be able to council individuals in need by showing them the coping methods that have helped you survive or simply by offering sympathy. A kinship can develop that allows you to relate more closely with those you are trying to aid and comfort.

Helping others can be a restorative experience that makes your own heart grow stronger. In channeling your pain into compassionate service and watching others successfully recover, you may feel a sense of euphoria that leads to increased feelings of self-worth and optimism. Your courageous decision to reach out to others can be the best way to declare to yourself and the world that your pain didn’t defeat you, and in fact it helped you heal. Amen! ✨✨

How are you feeling after all that walking in the mall? I hope the sandals are comfortable.
