2009 Finale-Part I

Last year to culminate the year I picked a color, a wildflower and a weed in honor or my blog title, Shades of Grey or a Kaleidoscope, wherein I always had a color, wildflower or weed in the title.

This year I simplified.

I do have some fav's to complete this year...they have special meaning and story lines to conclude 2009.

The book: Radical Acceptance. This is not a novel. This is a book to read sections of, ponder, and let it be. You have to be at a certain place in your life for this book; you must be ready for this one. I purchased it long ago, picked it up, started to read it and thought, "what a stupid book". Just a couple of months ago I picked it up, started reading it and well, it "spoke to me". Enough said.

The song: The STORY So Far by Flogging Molly

You always had what you wanted
So leave it behind
And if the glass isn't broken
Then the futures not blind
All that you know means nothing to you
But its the loss of control shatters the truth

That's the story so far
It's already here
We've made it this far
Sure we battled the spears
But life cuts to pieces
To the wounds from the secrets
Makes it all who you are

Love craves self destruction
It's a blizzard in hand
Lay your cards on the table
But you're not in command
So burn with the fire
You so eagerly lit
Watch the flames flicker higher
Said I don't care about me

Here's the story so far
It's already here
We've made it this far
Sure we battled the spears
But life cuts to pieces
To the wounds from the secrets
Makes it all who you are

Oh it's bitter the pill
That you swallow to feel
I don't care what I lost
I just thank god I'm alive

Makes it all who you are

That's the story so far

to be continued...
