My Journey: Today I have been given "CLARITY"

February 2, 2009

Today I have been given "CLARITY"

I Know What Makes Me Comfortable
I Know What Makes Me Tick
And When I Need To Get My Way I Know How To Pour It On Thick
Cream And Sugar In My Coffee
Right Away When I Awake I Face The Day And Pray To God
I Won't Make The Same Mistakes

Oh The Rest Is Out Of My Hands

I Will Learn To Let Go What I Cannot Change
I Will Learn To Forgive What I Cannot Change
I Will Learn To Love What I Cannot Change But I Will Change,
I Will Change Whatever I, Whenever I Can

I Don't Know My Father Or My Mother Well Enough
Seems Like Every Time We Talk We Can't Get Past The Little Stuff
The Pain Is Self Inflicted I Know It's Not Good For My Health
But It's Easier To Please The World Than It Is To Please Myself
Oh The Rest Is Out Of My Hands

I Will Learn To Let Go What I Cannot Change
I Will Learn To Forgive What I Cannot Change
I Will Learn To Love What I Cannot Change But I Will Change,
I Will Change Whatever I, Whenever I Can

Right Now I Can't Care About How Everyone Else Will Feel
I Have Enough Hurt Of My Own To Heal

I Will Learn To Let Go What I Cannot Change
I Will Learn To Forgive What I Cannot Change
I Will Learn To Love What I Cannot Change
But I Will Change, I Will Change Whatever I, Whenever I Can

In Loving Memory of one of my dearest and closest friends

Kelly & Lacie

To the "Treehouse Girls" Through our journey with Julie's passing the three of us were by her side each and every day of the last two months of her life. We laughed, we cried, we questioned, we sobbed but through it all we gained major strength and were given new relationships with each other to move forward with. We have each other now to remember our dear friend. To watch over Audrey and shower her with love. Julie named us her treehouse girls. We each have a key to hold onto. A key to Julie's heart and soul. This was something we giggeled about in hospice. We were in the treehouse. You had to have the password to come in. It made Julie feel safe and gave her some sense of relief, to feel like she really wasn't where she was at. One day we will all be together in the Big Treehouse Jewels. Until then hold down the fort.
