melody of You...
I was just sitting down, to watch the final episode of Felicity [finally...] and this song came on. Makes me want to dig up my 6pence cds *turns around to find box of almost all her cds, conveniently in one location after projects of the previous week* nevermind, found 'em *slight flush of cheeks*
there's more where that came from...
You're a painting with symbols deep,
a symphony, soft as it shifts from dark beneath
a poem that flows, caressing my skin
in all of these things you reside and
I want to flow from the pen, bow and brush
then paper, string, and canvas touch
with ink and the air to dust your light
from morning 'til the black of night
this is my call, I belong to You
this is my call, to sing the melody of You
this is my call, I can do nothing else
I can do nothing else
You're the scent of an unfound bloom
a simple tune, I only write variation to
a drink that will knock me down on the floor
a key that will unlock the door
where I hear a voice sing familiar themes
then beckons me weave notes in between
a bow and a string, a tap and a glass
You pour me, 'till the day has passed
this is my call, I belong to You
this is my call, to sing the melody of You
this is my call, I can do nothing else
I can do nothing else
...enough already!

I've got many little nuggets of treasure to share from our fun-filled/action-packed day of 'retreat' with the gals at work!
First and foremost, a quote I had to jump out of my seat to write down... it so fits with my life!
"A joy shared is doubled; a pain shared is halved..."
there's more where that came from...
we took a Dr. Phil/Oprah quiz... and shared results
[content/results will be posted post-nap]
then we answered some self-reflective questions (as well as positive thoughts about the others), ate yummy personally created pizzas, and finally shared our answers...
2 weaknesses:- guarded (wall-of-china)
- distraction (mind that wanders)
2 strengths:
- endurance/perseverance (won't give up)
- balcony person
I tried, but couldn't for the life of me properly explain the concept... nor even conjure the word "affirmation" for further clarity
how others would describe you:
fun, joyful, loyal, and available friend
1 personal goal related to work:
to see a woman truly find freedom from the oppression and lies infecting her life & relations.
1 non-work related personal goal:
transparency (with the right person) honestly, I'm not sure why I wrote the parentheses... perhaps merely recognizing that the world as a whole doesn't need to know me that way... but there are some that sure deserve it!
it was especially refreshing to be able to share positive reflections about others... especially towards those with whom we aren't so 'warm&fuzzy' with... and I'll admit to feeling rather great hearing them say such thoughtful things about me *sigh*
in the later afternoon Susan whipped out some crafty-goodness and I created a masterpiece of a beaded vase... now I just need the flowers to fill it with!
finally, I've said it before... and I'll say it again: there's nothing like getting paid to get a massage... *raises eyebrows* I can get with that!
[oddly enough, I came home to find another applicable quote *notes current unkymood listed as "bitter"* ouch!?]
...enough already!
