hot commodity

I went to a concert last night. If you are not from Nashville, you will probably ask... On a weeknight?

Yes, on a weeknight.
Yes, for $5.
No, it was not the only show going on in town.

I realized while i was sitting with friends listening to a great band, disappointed with Candy, that Nashville's hot commodity is music.

Aside from the big music business in Nashville, Music is given out like corn is in the Midwest. It's good, its plenty and the harvest is ready.

2007

So, I'm really not a big resolutions person.

I do, at the turn of the calendar like to look back and reflect on the big lessons of the year. And how can I take the things I have learned into the new year with me and intergrate them into the next year.

My big lesson for 2006 is...

I can't do it by myself.

I have always been the little girl who said, "I can do it by myself I don't need your help." I'm really good at being independent. I'm really good at thinking I have to be perfect. While these are good things, used in a positive way, to have on board, I found my self sailing to a deserted island. I got scared, lonely and insecure.

To make a long story short, there where some sailors that noticed my boat had drifted. There where others that just welcomed me to their bon fire on the shore.

I may be still independent and from time to time I may want to go to lunch by myself, I know that there are people and a God that want to be and are my help, friend, counselor, and support. They remind me that I don't have to do it all by my self. They remind me that dancing on the beach is better with two, or three, or more.

snot

I wish there was a way to bottle snot and do one of the following things with it:

1. create world peace
2. cure disease
3. just make a buck

I really could be very rich.
