You guys have been on my mind today. It’s my sister’s birthday today and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her and Morgan which reminded me that I wanted to share a song with you guys that I discovered thanks to Morgan. I found it on one of her playlists on 8tracks, so it’s obviously a song she liked. I have listened to it a million times but I hadn’t looked up the lyrics until last night and after reading the lyrics, this blog, and Morgan’s blog I feel like this song seems to sum up Morgan’s personality so very well. If I am wrong, PLEASE, correct me 😉 The video I included in this comment is the lyrics video so you can read them as you listen.
I read on a comment that you, Toni, had fallen recently and injured your tailbone and oh boy does my heart go out to you!! I did the same a few years ago and your not lyin’ about the pain! I hope and wish a speedy recovery for you! Happy Holidays to you and yours!

“Most people carry that pain around inside them their whole lives, until they kill the pain by other means, or until it kills them. But you, my friends, you found another way: a way to use the pain. To burn it as fuel, for light and warmth. You have learned to break the world that has tried to break you. ” – Lev Grossman
“Anyone can give up; it is the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone would expect you to fall apart, now that is true strength.” – Chris Bradford, The Way of the Sword
“You’re going to meet many people with domineering personalities: the loud, the obnoxious, those that noisily stake their claims in your territory and everywhere else they set foot on. This is the blueprint of a predator. Predators prey on gentleness, peace, calmness, sweetness and any positivity that they sniff out as weakness. Anything that is happy and at peace they mistake for weakness. It’s not your job to change these people, but it’s your job to show them that your peace and gentleness do not equate to weakness. I have always appeared to be fragile and delicate but the thing is, I am not fragile and I am not delicate. I am very gentle but I can show you that the gentle also possess a poison. I compare myself to silk. People mistake silk to be weak but a silk handkerchief can protect the wearer from a gunshot. There are many people who will want to befriend you if you fit the description of what they think is weak; predators want to have friends that they can dominate over because that makes them feel strong and important. The truth is that predators have no strength and no courage. It is you who are strong, and it is you who has courage. I have lost many a friend over the fact that when they attempt to rip me, they can’t. They accuse me of being deceiving; I am not deceiving, I am just made of silk. It is they who are stupid and wrongly take gentleness and fairness for weakness. There are many more predators in this world, so I want you to be made of silk. You are silk.” – C. JoyBell C.
What a happy picture. Is this Morgan’s cousin? They look so much alike! Very sweet moment to remember.
No not her cousin – her best friend.
