Someone’s Watching Over Me

(by Hilary Duff)

Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is you’re not here to say
What you always used to say
But it’s written in the sky tonight

So I won’t give up
No I won’t break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I’m standing in the dark I’ll still believe
Someone’s watching over me

Seen that ray of light
And it’s shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I wont be afraid
To follow everywhere it’s taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment to my dreams

So I won’t give up
No I won’t break down

Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I’m standing in the dark I’ll still believe
Someone’s watching over me

It doesn’t matter what people say
And it doesn’t matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you’ll find
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

So I won’t give up
No I won’t break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I’m standing in the dark I’ll still believe
That I won’t give up
No I won’t break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I’m standing in the dark I’ll still believe
That someone’s watching over
Someone’s watching over
Someone’s watching over me

Someone’s watching over me.

Whuzzup!

There are no dull moments in my life, that’s for sure. Eagerly waiting for school to start in January, happy about that, not worried about not having enough money anymore and now another twist to the story: I had to find another place to live.

Details are not important (as usual), reasons are good enough and I’ll be moving on January 1st with a bunch of students to a place much closer to the university. It’s good, it’s certainly different from everything else I’ve tried in my life, but after 5 years and a half of living with someone in a marriage, everything is different. Am I looking forward to it? Sure, new experiences, new people, more independence. It’s all a little scary, but I’m breaking so many old patterns, this whole “moving on” thing feels like a F1 race sometimes and I really am not expecting to crash but to get to the finish line and say “I freaking did it!”… I am freaking doing it!

I so needed to read this!

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.

Oh, thank you, Lord!

I can jump and scream of happiness right now. My application for financial aid has been accepted and now I’m 100% sure I can go back to school, youpi! Dang, I really needed a break after so much caca during the last year and I’m finally getting it. To think that exactly a year ago I was getting on a plane to come to Canada to sign what I considered my death sentence… Pfft! I’m alive, so alive and kicking. Love this country, love it!

World Civilizations

Gotta love the internet! Washington State University has this absolutely cool website on World Civilizations. I think I’m going to spend some time learning something new. As if I didn’t have enough things to learn with 14 credits at school… I added another class today. NERD!
