Be Courageous and be Brave



I have been having a tough couple of days. Dealing with work & stress along with anxiety has really taken it's toll. Sometimes it's so hard to just breathe and get through the next moment. And sometimes....Sometimes I just need my mom. I am a FIRM believer that my mom knows when I need her. When I just need a moment to be completely connected with her again.

She knows.

I was driving late the other night and was trying to just hold it all in because lets face it... crying and driving are just not safe! The radio was on and as I was so desperately trying to just breathe the song Forever Young by Rod Stewart came on. Now, some may laugh and chuckle but I started to really REALLY listen to the words of the song to take my mind off of things and the words just struck home from my mom just to me.

May the good lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when youre far from home

And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As youd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart youll always stay
Forever young, forever young

May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
With a prince or a vagabond

And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young, forever young

And when you finally fly away
Ill be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell
But whatever road you choose
Im right behind you, win or lose
Forever young, forever young

Thanks mom. I needed that.
