happy new year!

happy new year everyone! i hope that you all have enjoyed the first day of 2008!

i just wanted to share with you a song i've been listening to this week that i have decided to make my theme song for this new year. it's point of grace's new song called 'how you live (turn up the music)

in this new year i am doing what i've titled my blog. i'm going to continue you to live the life i love. i'm not promised tomorrow and i only get one chance at this. life is too short right? so join with me and let's live the best lives we can in 2008! enjoy the every day pleasures of this life and love the best you can! challenge yourself, be honest with yourself & others, take chances, & remember... LIVE THE LIFE YOU LOVE!

how you live by point of grace
wake up to the sunlight
with your windows open
don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
wear your red dress
use your good dishes
make a big mess and make lots of wishes
have what you want
but want what you have
and don't spend your life lookin' back

turn up the music
turn it up loud
take a few chances
let it all out
you won't regret it
lookin' back from where you have been
cause it's not who you knew
and it's not what you did
it's how you live

so go to the ballgames
and go to the ballet
and go see your folks more than just on the holidays
kiss all your children
dance with your wife
tell your husband you love him every night
don't run from the truth
cause you can't get away
just face it and you'll be okay

turn up the music
turn it up loud
take a few chances
let it all out
you won't regret it
lookin' back from where you have been
cause it's not who you knew
and it's not what you did
it's how you live

oh wherever you are and wherever you've been
now is the time to begin

so give to the needy
and pray for the grieving
even when you don't think that you can
cause all that you do is bound to come back to you
so think of your fellow man
make peace with God and make peace with yourself
cause in the end there's nobody else

turn up the music
turn it up loud
take a few chances
let it all out
cause you won't regret it
lookin' back from where you have been
cause it's not who you knew
and it's not what you did
it's how you live

cause it's not who you knew
and it's not what you did
it's how you live
