My Life
I'm starting out on a voyage,
With heart full and head held high,
To sail the ocean, whether calm or rough,
Out under heaven's blue sky.
The voyage will be long and weary, I know,
But I hope many bright stars will appear.
So I'll sail my ship through calm or strife
With scarce a thought of fear.
I'll stay not here in this quiet place,
Where small ripples blow gently by,
But out on the deep, on the stormy sea,
There, out there, will be I.

You Have Got To Be Kidding...
So, I've always wanted to be in an earthquake. Strange, I know, but true. Obviously I don't want to be in a huge one, just one so that I can feel what it's like. So why, I may ask, does the earthquake strike when I'm gone!? (If you don't know what I'm talking about, there was apparently a smallish earthquake in D.C. this morning). Ugh!
