Not a year goes by that this song does not come to mind....so with December's arrival soon, I could not help but post it...not as a sad song...but as a reminder of how many Decembers we have all made it through. I first heard this song the year I came to New York. I was soooo homesick, and my new life was not quite as rosy as it looked. I listened to this song over and over....the years passed, and the song always gets played....I played through the births and deaths of children, family members, times of hardship, and times that we had no clue how it would all work out.....That is alot of play for one song !!!

As I have gotten older...no comments there Jason...I now look forward to whatever December brings us....you see we now know that we have made it through so many Decembers....so many hardships...and so many blessings... I know that I can count on us old folks to survive.....

I worry about the young ones, because I fear that they might not be as strong as we are....but then again, I can bet there were older folks back then, saying these same words....

So before you think this is just one of those older folks blog entries....it isn't. The most important gift I could ever give those I care about are these words...I am happy....

and indeed I am....

I am blessed many times over.....and grateful that this year I have amazing people around me...my family is strong, loving and most of all makes me laugh...smile...and feel special...

I ask you...what more could I want???....so just because I always play it...

Here is If we make it through December......

If we make it through December
Everythings gonna be all right I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the fallin snow

If we make it through December
I got plans of bein in a warmer town come summer time
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine

I got laid off down at the factory
And there timings not the greatest in the world
Heaven knows I been workin' hard
I wanted Christmas to be right for daddy's girl
Now I don't mean to hate December
It's meant to be the happy time of year
And why my little girl don't understand
Why daddy can't afford no Christmas here

If we make it through December
Everythings gonna be alright I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the fallin' snow

If we make it through December
I got plans of bein' in a warmer town come summer time
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine

and I am betting we do make it through...

Thank you baby....this was sooooo sweet......

Good morning beautiful
How was your night
Mine was wonderful
With you by my side
And when I open my eyes
And see your sweet face
It's a good morning beautiful day

I couldn't see the light
I didn't know day from night
I had no reason to care
But since you came along
I can face the dawn
'Cause I know you'll be there

Good morning beautiful
How was your night
Mine was wonderful
With you by my side
And when I open my eyes
And see your sweet face
It's a good morning beautiful day

I never worry if it's raining outside
'Cause in here with you girl the sun always shines

Good morning beautiful
How was your night
Mine was wonderful
With you by my side
And when I open my eyes
And see your sweet face
It's a good morning beautiful day, yeah
A good morning beautiful day

Good morning beautiful
It's a beautiful day
Good morning beautiful
Good morning beautiful
What a beautiful day
Good morning beautiful

Ah it is Tuesday...

and somehow the words fail me today...

so I will just post a song,

and hope that your day goes well...

Feel better real soon..... "Little Angel Hope~!!!

Yeah, Yeah
What you got if you ain't got love
the kind that you just want to give away
its okay to open up
go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
you want to shut the world out and just be left alone
but don't run out on your faith

'cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
is just a grain of sand
and what you've been up there searching for forever
is in your hands
when you figure out love is all that matters after all
it sure makes everything else seem so small

it's so easy to get lost inside
a problem that seems so big at the time
it's like a river thats so wide
it swallows you whole
while you siting 'round thinking 'bout what you can't change
and worrying about all the wrong things
time's flying by
moving so fast
you better make it count 'cause you cant get it back

sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
is just a grain of sand
and what you've been up there searching for forever
is in your hands
oh when you figure out love is all that matters after all
it sure makes everything else seem so small

sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
is just a grain of sand
and what you've been up there searching for forever
is in your hands
oh when you figure out love is all that matters after all
it sure makes everything else...
oh it sure makes everything else seem so small
Yeah, Yeah

I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'
Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind....

Last night we watched the CMA awards, and there are a million stories to tell...

but my blog would not be complete if I didn't show some appreciation

to those women who challenged Nashville and the world......

I know.......I was there....

so today let's just be thankful that the world recognized

talent, ambition, attitude and strong women.....

Oh and you know I had to post this song....

you see she was one of the first

(there were many who helped country music evolve, but Shania was the most outspoken)

who truly told it like it is....

and with attitude and beauty!!

This is what a woman wants...
Any man of mine better be proud of me
Even when I'm ugly he still better love me
And I can be late for a date that's fine
But he better be on time

Any man of mine'll say it fits just right
When last year's dress is just a little too tight
And anything I do or say better be okay
When I have a bad hair day

And if I change my mind
A million times
I wanna hear him say
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah), yeah I like that way

Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'
Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine

Well any man of mine better disagree
When I say another woman's lookin' better than me
And when I cook him dinner and I burn it black
He better say, mmmm, I like it like that

And if I change my mind
A million times
I wanna hear him say
Yeah (yeah), yeah (yeah), yeah I like it that way

Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'
Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine

Let me hear you say yeah, (yeah), yeah (yeah), yeah I like it that way

Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'
Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine

You gotta shimmy shake
Make the earth quake
Kick, turn, stomp, stomp, then you jump
Heel to toe, Do Si Do
'Til your boots wanna break
`Til your feet and your back ache
Keep it movin' `till you just can't take anymore
Come on everybody on the floor
A-one two, a-three four
Hup two, hup
If you wanna be a man of mine, that's right
This is what a woman wants...
