dear sir or madame...
today melinda and i took the batmobile for a wash. this was its first bath since i was given the car 3.5 years ago. to be honest i was a little worried that the dirt was keeping it together, but its still intact and looking mighty fine. when we arrived home, i walked down the laneway to admire it from a distance.
all's well on the homefront. actually all's well on everyfront, which i appreciate even more after my brief brush with melancholy. its nice how a few encouraging words or a point in the right direction make a world of difference.
as you know, i was feeling pretty down last week. i was frustrated because it seemed everything required such effort, and i just didn't have the energy to give anymore. i just wanted something good to JUST HAPPEN for me. under normal circumstances i realize that doesn't happen, and everything i've ever done that was worth doing, required a lot of work. but maybe that's why i was feeling so jaded. well anyway, i was driving home last night listening to hayden and there was a line in a song that when like this "it makes sense to forget what it takes" and it really struck me. i need to forget all the effort it sometimes takes to get things done, because in the end, the experience will be worth so much more than the struggle. so i'm going to remember "forget what it takes and just go for it!!"
side note: dancing in my chair. dancing IN my chair. oh baby, cut copy...
ready to let go of the steering wheel.

That's a great song. I love Hayden. Never seen those lyrics in that light before. Thanks.
I really think it's the time of year. I've been feeling sort of blah and draggy lately, too, and I've heard the same from numbers of others. Glad you seem to be on the upswing, Lesley.
Here's to Spring showing up a little early this year!
ya, i'd never thought of that line in that context before either. its interesting how things can hit you in a different way depending on where you're coming from. the bible's the same way.
its nice to hear i'm not the only one feeling out of sorts. i hope you get some spice to counter-act the blah. here's to spring and here's to you ;)
Ew to those pictures.... looks like they hired the same plastic surgeon....
true dat!!
uh huh, uh huh, uh huh.
that was the first time you have ever washed it???
no it was the first time since i washed it in 3.5 years. joy gave me the car, and i washed it that week and never again until now.
aren't you glad you were part of such a historical event??
