Welcome to Wherever You Are

Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that we don't really understand, and they aren't what we planned or wanted. I have recently found myself in the throws of one of these situations, and I find myself struggling with expressing what I feel and why. Sometimes songs are more eloquent than I could ever be...and this one is.


Maybe we're all different
But we're still the same
We all got the blood of Eden running to our veins
I know sometimes it's hard for you to see
You're caught between just who you are and who you want to be

If you feel alone and lost and need a friend
Remember every new beginning is some beginning's end

Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
That right here right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Welcome to wherever you are

When everybody's in and you're left out
And you feel drowning in a shadow of the dawn
Everyone's a miracle in their own way
Just listen to yourself not what other people say

When it seems you're lost alone and feeling down
Remember everybody's different, just take a look around

Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
That right here right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Be who you want to be, be who you are
Everyone's a hero, everyone's a star

When you want to give up and your heart's about to break
Remember that you're perfect, God's make no mistakes

Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
That right here right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far
(I say welcome) Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far (welcome)


Shout out to Bon Jovi for the lyrics. However, what happens when you aren't exactly sure where you are and you are certainly not sure of what is next? Often we find ourselves in situations where it is easy to think "right here right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be", and then someone throws a wrench into the situation. Maybe the decision you made really is stupid. Perhaps you're family was right when they told you that you would never find a job, and you needed another degree.

Welcome to wherever you are.

Wishin' and Hopin'

The holidays are a time of wishlists and shopping... so here is my turn at the perfect gift.

First, I would give to Adam a chance to tour and play with Pearl Jam. I would also give him all of his CD's that were stolen back.

Since Adam doesn't do the blog thing, I get to pick two more people....ROCK ON!

To Leann - A week's vacation with Bon Jovi, and season tickets to the Colts along with weekly dinner with Peyton (and perhaps a divorce;)

To Graham - And gift card to best buy that never ran out of money so there is no need to worry about a music budget. And perhaps I'd get him an oven mitt;)

So, Graham and Leann - you're it...pass along the holiday spirit...

Happy Chanukah!
