Good for the soul

In case you hadn't already kinda guessed I LOVE music, I can't think of a genre that I could say I don't like at all it just depends on mood and emotions at the time or attatched to the particular tune or song.
This song I was recently told to listen to by a good friend of mine, I now can't stop listening to it, anytime of day or night, no matter what my mood it makes me stop and listen to it, I love the different tempos and emotions it makes me feel whenever I listen and I seem to hear something different everytime.



I know this was from a film but I'm sure I've heard it before, and pretty sure I've not seen the film.... anyone know if its been used in anything else? advert maybe?

Busy weekend....

I have had a great weekend! On saturday I was taken out for the day to Winchester for a surprise day out... what I didn't realise was that one of my very best friends who lives more than 250 miles away had driven down to surprise me, we had a great day out, was so good to see him and catch up,it had been a long 18 months. :)

We'd also been on a shopping trip to Southampton the week before for my mums birthday, that was a great day too! I'm being spoilt :)
While we were out we stopped for a drink and my daughter wanted hot chocolate, the girl at the counter asked if cream and marshmallows were wanted - knowing my daughter I said yes... this is what she got!! (Wow)

Waiting,waiting....

Ok I know I shouldn't wish my life away but I am desperate for it to be monday now! Never have I wanted a weekend out of the way so quickly! Monday morning I collect my glasses and can finally get on with various tasks and hobbies that i've stopped for a while knowing my eyes weren't quite right.

I've had a really croaky throat for the last few days, lost my voice completely for a while yesterday morning (some others were happy about that I think lol), today it is getting better though; I am more confident that my voice will hold for a whole sentence!

I have been searching for quotes and stuff (I love anything like that) and have found a few that have made me smile/think:

A friend is one who believes when you have ceased to believe in yourself : Unknown

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words : Unknown

Happiness is a direction, not a place : Sydney J. Harris

Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait for an answer : Unknown

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. ~Henri Nouwen
