“I must learn to love the fool in me 

the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, 

wins sometimes and loses often, 

lacks self-control, 

loves and hates, 

hurts and gets hurt, 

promises and breaks promises, 

laughs and cries”

 

Theodore Isaac Rubin

to lost loves

isn't it funny how people still haunt your dreams and thoughts

even though time has past,

and you have 'moved on'?

sometimes it's nice to have the memories, 

and other times you just want them to go away

shake it out

I know I only just posted the video for this song two posts ago,

but there is something about the lyrics of Shake it Out

that are so important to me right now.

I have to have them RIGHT HERE

in bold

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around

And our love is pastured such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues strong
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out,
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out,

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off,

I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out,
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out,

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off,

And given half the chance would I take any of it back
It's a final mess but it's left me so empty
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out,
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out,

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off,

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out,
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out,

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off

today I am shaking it out, I do hope you can join me

knitted comfort

I have recently taken my knitting needles back up and am furiously making, making, making. 

My first project, a knitted cushion.

I love knitted cushions.

 

You can't really see in the photo,

but there is a raised heart in the middle.

I have had this animal pattern material for a few years now,

so used it to back the cushion.

there is a lovely feeling when you finish a project ...

and then you can rest your head on it
