Rising Hawk rises to the occasion of giving verse to the word perspicacious! What a great idea!

Alex has this is on her playlist. I love the tune but I’ve highlighted the part of the lyrics that really touch my heart. My ? is why do we miss something only when it’s gone? Why don’t we enjoy the things, people, opportunities while we are currently engaged in them? I don’t know about you but I can’t live with regret, wishing I didn’t do this or that, wishing I hadn’t taken THAT HUGE CAREER RISK, I want to live in the moment and love like crazy, work like crazy, live like crazy full on 100%.

Be FREE ! 

I’m a music person, I always seem to have a song or something like an anthem through the seasons of my life….this song would be a reminder what happens if I MISS the NOW moments! 

Let Her Go” [Lyrics]

Well you only need the light when it’s burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missin’ home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you’ll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you’ll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it’s burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missin’ home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
‘Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
‘Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep

Well you only need the light when it’s burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missin’ home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go
And you let her go
Well you let her go

‘Cause you only need the light when it’s burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missin’ home
Only know you love her when you let her go

‘Cause you only need the light when it’s burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missin’ home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

Disclaimer: None of this work I own! I want to share how music touches my life and encompasses it. Music is everything! 

 

Like this Mom do you think my hair will be crimped tomorrow?
Um Alex you must be bored!
And silly! Snack time!

I bet you didn’t know my office also doubles as a day care!! My friend Deanna did not have a babysitter today and since yesterday Alex said she needed to borrow a baby to learn how to love! Wha-la! Lol check out the selfies with babyRipley! That’s some baby blues

The coolest thing about working for my company is Alex pretty much grew up doing homework and hanging out with me at work! Almost everyone with kids keeps blankets and pillow cause you never know when a baby will show! Did I mention how much I love babies??? 😄
