Garth Brook's "Till the River Runs Dry"
Country singers, sometimes they have the greatest insight. after reading liz's blog, i want to jump. jump long and jump hard.
"i'll never reach my destination if i never try, so i will sail my vessel, til the river runs dry."
where am i gonna get by sitting on my butt and waiting for life to come and find me? its not going to. maybe a few things here and there by chance-but nothing too fun and thrilling. i want to love. love to hard and so deep that it makes me want to cry. i want to feel the arms of someone who cares and desires to make me happy as i strive to give him the love the he deserves back. i want to cry and know that he is the one. i want to be the woman that i should be and stand out in a crowd in all the jumble of the world. i want to be me.
maybe thats the reason im into this whole dating thing. im ready to lose myself, but im not. im ready to feel something different for a change, or am i? even if im not, timing will play into it. im ready. let me fall, free fall after jumping off the biggest cliff of my life. i can do it.

Char, I love this post... Thank you for sharing those thoughts. Only when you lose yourself in love (in serving friends or family or someone you are IN love with) can you feel whole. And only with great risk can one attain great love. I'm excited for you to experience it... It will be a wild ride, it will hurt really really badly at times, but you will look back and never regret having taken the plunge.

So maybe love is overrated. It mostly causes heartache. It seems inescapable to those who resist it, and just out of reach for those who long for it. I hope I stumble into love, but first I have to stop looking for it.

Wow, you guys are deep. I never knew that country music had such an effect. I'm glad you're a blogger, Charlotte. That's cool.
