Quote of the Day
Actually, the Quote of the Day today is a song. Several years ago, I was in a Music store that sold CDs, cassettes, etc. I saw one with the title HERO and, even though, at the time, I had never heard the song, I bought the cassette single because I was feeling very down and out and depressed. I thought the song might not be something I would like, but I thought I needed a hero, someone to look up to, someone to inspire me, someone to make me feel like getting up in the morning, someone to give me something to live for. Anyway, I got home and listened to the song and cried for hours and this song still makes me cry. But anyway, imagine being in the mental shape I was in that day, having never heard this song and then getting home and hearing this:
HERO
By: Mariah Carey
There's a hero,
If you look inside your heart,
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are.
There's an answer,
If you reach into your soul,
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away.
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on.
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive.
So when you feel like hope is gone.
Look inside you and be strong.
And you'll finally see the truth,
That a hero lies in you.
It's a long road,
When you face the world alone,
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold.
You can find love,
If you search within yourself,
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear.
And then a hero comes along.
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside.
And you know you can survive.
So when you feel like hope is gone.
Look inside you and be strong.
And you'll finally see the truth,
That a hero lies in you,
Lord knows,
Dreams are hard to follow.
But don't let anyone,
Tear them away.
Hold on,
There will be tomorrow.
In time,
You'll find the way.
And then a hero comes along.
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside.
And you know you can survive.
So when you feel like hope is gone,
Look inside you and be strong.
And you'll finally see the truth,
That a hero lies in you.
That a hero lies in you.
It's amazing how we always get EXACTLY what we need when we need it, if only we open our hearts and minds to the answers. The words to that song are so powerful! I am feeling so very thankful today for this place, all of you and Joni - you are the BEST girl. I think you've been a hero for all of us this week by creating this place for us. The ultimate act of love
