Something has changed within me, something is not the same,
I’m through with playing by the rules of someone else’s game.
Too late for second guessing,
too late to go back to sleep.
It’s time to trust my instincts, close my eyes, and leap.
It’s time to try defying gravity.
I think I’ll try defying gravity,
and you can’t pull me down.
Those of you who don’t know, the above is from the musical Wicked, which I highly recommend. Listening to it recently however, I’ve begun to rediscover all of the meaning in the lyrics. Not just in this one song, but others as well, and on many different levels.
I guess it would be pretty bad of me to do a blog entry today and not mention a certain someone. Momma!!! Happy Mothers Day Mom. Below is a video that I made for her last year. I can’t help but think though, how she is feeling today. For those who don’t know my grandmother (her mother) passed earlier in the year, thus making today the first mothers day without her in both of our lives. There will be numerous “firsts” this year when it comes to her, and I can’t help but wonder how I or the rest of the people who knew her will handle them. But for me, I won’t second guess things, I’ll trust my instincts, and leap forward with life carrying her spirit with me all the way.
Happy Mothers Day Mom, and to all the other, mothers, and grandmothers out there.
