Yes I Can...

Some days are just horrible. All the time there are things I get discouraged about. Fortunately, lately I have had the attitude of "I can do this" lately and it really helps me. It makes me do things (even little things) that other wise I would be to lazy to do. This one guy said, "Never give up, and don't let people say you can't do something just because you're a girl and that's supposedly a man's job." Boy that is encouraging. My favorite song is "The River" by Garth Brookes. The lyrics are totally awesome... (go ahead and take the time to read them)

You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores...

and I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide...

There's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all...

yes I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Well who are you? You very well might know better than I what a horrible day is. What is you life like? What's to say I never have a bad, depressing day? Yes. Tell me what a horrible life is like. Therefore I will be able to be more thankful for what I have...

You tell me first what your day was like and then I will tell you a story of a sad life. You have everything a happy family, friends always near, good looks and the guys find you very attractive.
