~Melodies~

Song: Dream Big

Artist: Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band

Why is this "my song"?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


What's the name of this blog?

Fireflies.

Why?

Because they make me think of warm summer evenings at home with my family. They remind me of how wonderful my life is and how much I love to live.

Dream Big is no different.

When I listen to this song it reminds me that nomatter how crazy life gets...I can still look up at the great big blue sky and dream BIG.

This is "my song" because it makes the kid inside of me smile.

Dreaming of Wheels.

It's a 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder.
Price tag? Close to 30,000.

Notice I said "Dreaming".
(Dream: A wild fancy or hope. )


There's nothing wrong with dreaming big.

My Tribute.

I'm proud to be an American

Where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died
To pay that price for me.
And I gladly stand up
Next to you and defend her still today.
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
GOD BLESS THE USA.

Always in our hearts.

Awww!

You Can Call Me "Desperado".

Posting regularly seems to have become a challenge in my life.There's not really a good excuse for this latest phenomenon. I've just lost my bloging zeal.I can't ever think of anything good to post about anymore and I hardly care!!

This is NOT GOOD.

See, bloging isn't the only thing I've neglected in recent weeks. Truth be known, I get on the computer VERY RARELY these days. I've even stopped checking other people's blog for updates.

It really makes me sad.

I want to enjoy bloging again...I NEED A REVIVAL.

Some sunshine and fresh air...A day on the river...A funny joke... SOMETHING to help me blog again!

ANYTHING!
