Unfolding

November 30, 2009 //

I tweeted this last night: ***Holding a space. For forgiveness, gifts, hope, time, prayer and love.*** And this morning this song came on my little ipod shuffle and it sums up how I've been feeling: unfolding.

Unfold by Jason Mraz

Hands in Line
Arms close to my side
I'm fighting tides 
Of an ocean's undertow
And I figure that I might not make it
I'm taking empty but seldom speaking
And the words retreat
Yeah, they breath in histories
Still at ease
And the story's untold
And my arms unfold

My hands are high
And I'm holding on, I'm holding out
And i figure that i
Figure that I just might make it
And I'm waking empty but seldom sleeping
And the words repeat breathing histories
Into stories untold but I unfold

See now quality is what you see now
In the corner of your eye
And don't be surprised
If you hear the bells ring 
As they form from the sky
They sound bong, bong, bong, bong, ba da
Yea yea bong, bong, bong,bong ba da yea, yea

And I'm always holding on
And I'm already holding out
Said I'm holding out your side
And I'm holding out this time
Cause I figure that I, and I figure that I
Just might make it and I'm
Waking empty but seldom sleeping
And the words repeat breathing histories untold
But I unfold

Man, I love me some Jason Mraz. Enjoy the lyrics. xoxo ~ ami

Song For A Friend by Jason Mraz


Well you're magic he said
But don't let it all go to your head
'Cause I bet if you all had it all figured out
Then you’d never get out of bed
Well no doubt
Of all the things that I’ve read what he wrote me
Is now sounding like the man I was hoping to be
Keep on keeping it real
'Cause it keeps getting easier he'll see
He’s the reason that I’m laughing
Even if there’s no one else
He said, you’ve got to love yourself

He said you shouldn’t mumble when you speak
But keep your tongue up in your cheek
And if you stumble onto something
Better remember that it’s humble that you seek
And you’ve got all the skill you need
Individuality
You’ve got something
Call it gumption
Call it anything you want
Because when you play the fool now
You’re only fooling everyone else
You’re learning to love yourself.

yes you are
you are
yes you, you

There’s no price to pay
When you give and what you take.
That’s why it’s easy to thank you.
You, you, you, you, you

Let’s say take a break from our day and get back to the old garage.
Because life’s too short anyway but at least it’s better than average.
As long as you got me and I got you
You know we've got a lot to go around
I’ll be your friend
Your other brother
Another love to come and comfort you.
And I’ll keep reminding
If it’s the only thing I ever do
I will always love you
You, you, you
You

It's true I love it's true
It's you I love, it's you I love, It's you, It's you I love
It's true I love, it's true I love
It's you I love
It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you I love
I love you I do

oh and it's you I love

It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love
It's true I love, it's true I love, it's true, it's you I love
I's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love

And I love I love I love
And I love I love I love
It's you I love
It's true
See my love my love my love
You see my love my love my love
It's you my love my love my love oh

Climb up over the top.
Survey the state of the soul.
You’ve got to find out for yourself whether or not you’re truly trying.
Why not give it a shot?
Shake it, Take control
And inevitably wind up
Finding for yourself
All the strengths you have inside still rising

Climb up over the top
Survey the state of the soul
You’ve got to find out for yourself whether or not you’re truly trying
Why not give it a shot?
Shake it, Take control and inevitably wind up
Finding for yourself all the strengths you have inside of you

But my heart cried out for you California

So tomorrow we're supposed to fly to California and now the snow may stop us. So I had to stop and breathe. Just in case you need to as well:

Jason Mraz's
"Life Is Wonderful"

It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying

It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

La la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Al la la la la

It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
And it takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished

Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is so full of
Ah la la la la la la life is so rough
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is our love
Ah la la la la la

It takes some silence to make sound
It takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ha la la la la la life is wonderful
Ha la la la la la life is meaningful
Ha la la la la la life is wonderful
Ha la la la la la life it is…so… wonderful
It is so meaningful
It is so wonderful
It is meaningful
It is wonderful
It is meaningful
It goes full circle
Wonderful
Meaningful
Full circle
Wonderful

Marcie’s faucet needs a plumber

December 8, 2008 //

Oh my goodness I don't handle rejection well.

Last Thursday morning my trainer stood me up for the second time. I was really mad, talked to a 24 Hour Fitness manager and was on my way. Silly me I thought someone would call. Nope. Cut to this morning when I finished my workout I went over to the trainer desks to find my trainer hanging out. He comes towards me all full of sorry sorry and saying all the "right" things all the while his vibe was he was just going through the motions. I suddenly found myself losing my emotions. I felt like crying my eyes out, my chin quivered, my eyes did water and I took some breaths to stop this madness.

He's not my trainer any more, I talked to the big guy at the gym after getting emotional. Thankfully I had calmed down. Maybe I'm PMS-ing, maybe it was that sweet Jason Mraz music I'd been listening to for the hour before, or maybe I'm just sensitive. But ouch, I felt like I was breaking up with a friend, a friend who I was paying to spend time with me and couldn't bother. Good greif Charlie Brown.

there was one song he played/ I could really feel

June 22, 2008 //

My husband knows I have a bit of a summer crush on Jason Mraz. And this song makes me think of my beautiful hubby! Here are the lyrics to "Lucky Fit" (it's a duet with Colbie Caillat):

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
