To where you are-I've been waiting all my life"

Day 230

"I'd sure hate to break down here
Nothin up ahead or in the rearview mirror
Out in the middle of nowhere knowin
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin
So God help me keep me movin somehow
Dont let me start wishin I was with him now
I made it this far without cryin a single tear
And I'd sure hate to break down here."

—Julie Roberts

Day 229

"It was time well wasted
And there's no way I trade a few more things that
I could've crossed off my list
For a day I'll never forget
No, I didn't get a thing done
But I sure soaked up every minute of the memory we were makin'
And I count it all as time well wasted"

—Brad Paisley

Day 228

So back in Alaska over a year ago my friends and I found this inflatable shark in a bar and proceeded to make friends with him, name him Daggermouth, and take him home to live with me. This weekend I happened to find his twin brother in a bar and was overjoyed to see him.

She's gonna keep on holding on."

Day 224

"I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish."

—Rascal Flatts

we can fire it up and I can show you around
sit up on the hill and watch the sun go down
when the fireflies are dancing and the moon comes out
we can turn on the lights and head back to the house
or we can take another ride on my big green tractor
we can go slow or make it go faster
down through the woods and out to the pasture
long as I'm with you it really don't matter "

Room to make her big mistakes"

You'll never know if you can fly"

I'm still learning how to bend"

"Call me soon as your plane gets in
I'll tell you where to take the cab
Can't talk now in the middle of this crowd
But baby, I miss you so bad

I got a bottle of wine
Some stolen time
Key to a room where you can be all mine

Till it feels like cheating
Till it feels that good
Nobody's leaving
So let's get it understood
Oh you could be a stranger
It's been that long"

Never let your prayin' knees get lazy
And love like crazy"

"Wishin' on stars, only when you see 'em,
It's like askin' God for help, only when you need it,
But I'm wishin' anyway, yeah, I'm wishin' anyway

Tonight there's stars on the river,
Stars in the sky, stars that are faded,
Like the stars in our eyes,
One lonely teardrop, one long goodbye
Hit me hard, I'm seein' stars "

—Jack Ingram

Day 206

"I wanna get lost in some corner booth, Cantina Mexico
I wanna dance to the static of an AM radio
I wanna wrap the moon around us, lay beside you skin on skin
Make love til the sun comes up, till the sun goes down again
Cause I need you

Like a needle needs a vein
Like my uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs the rain
I need you
Like a lighthouse needs a coast
Like the father and the son need the Holy Ghost
I need you"

— Tim McGraw & Faith Hill
