cool moments

Katie and I went on a little roadtrip around the springs this past Sunday...very fun FYI. Well we wandered into Manitou Springs (a crazy little mountain here located next to Colorado Springs).

Our mission: locate the road that leads to a house located at the top of a mountain cliff island.

We ended up running into this old little cemetery and ran into this........

And you probably can't tell but there are 14, YES 14 points on this old Buck. He was just there alongside the road drinking water like this.....



...good times...good times

.....things that are hard


It was a blast! They make me laugh a lot and I hope they come back to visit soon. So between climbing the incline, having dinner Friday night, and hanging out with them Sunday evening, I had a hoot of time.

p.s. for those of you that don't know...the incline is over 3,000 railroad ties that are make-do steps that lead straight up the side of a mountain....fun, a frickin' riot!!! But great exercise.

This is the boys on the way up....they always make the best of everything!! :o)
This is us at the top...finally


I would like to mention that I have done the "incline" a couple of times now and walked away ...unscathed. However, this time, we came directly back down the incline (not recommended by most), and now neither do I recommend it. Because for three days I could barely walk do the damage I inflicted on my right thigh.

Toodles!!!

...ache

I have this habit of when I find a new song that grabs me I listen it not once, not twice, but continuously, for days at a time. Currently that song is by Lifehouse off their newest album Who We Are. The song is called Broken, I really feel like it's the theme song of my life right now. Where I am at spiritual and in every other aspect.

Right now I just ache, something deep inside of me feels lost, and I ache.

Watch the video, read the lyrics


Broken
by Lifehouse

The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for purpose, they're still looking for life

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain is there healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm hanging on another day just to see what you will throw my way
And I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be ok

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm holdin' on
I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you
