"It Was 46 Years Ago Today..."

Well, actually tomorrow, but while I'm thinking about it, I'm going to write about it.

My most unbelievably favorite song, "Yesterday" by The Beatles was recorded 46 years ago today. (tomorrow). June 14, 1965. Oh how I love, Love, LOVE this song.

Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I use to be.
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said, something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said, something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mm mmm mmmmm mm mm m m

Greatest song ever written. It has been said that this song has been covered over 3,000 times by that many artists. A record that will never be broken. THAT, my friends, is good music.

Simply Amazing

Last night I went through the temple. What an amazing experience that was. I encourage all to go. If you can't, get to where you can, and continue to live life in a manner that would allow you to go always.

It was so special to be there with my sisters, their husbands, my parents (on their 33rd wedding anniversary), my grandparents, and my incredibly good friends. Standing in the temple with my family, made eternity seem more like a reality. I am, in fact, going to be with my family forever. Eternity. What an amazing blessing.

Temples, go. You must.

Never Seen You Before

Dear Random Children in the Backyard...

You are like, what 12? Why on Earth do you have a cellphone? Who are you going to call, Barney?

Sincerely, Me

p.s. I have never seen you before, so why do you think it is okay to be playing in someone else's backyard? Is it as weird for you as it is for me?

Memories On A Shelf

I am completely addicted to music. I love singing, and I love the way music can affect someone. Okay, for the most part because yes, music can either make or break you. I've been listening to a couple of songs the past few days... The same ones, over and over again. And they all seem to be saying the same thing.

First song: The Story of Us by: Taylor Swift
Just a couple of the lyrics always stick out to me.

"Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know, is it killing you
Like it's killing me
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now."

"This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less
But I liked it better when you were on my side."

Second Song: Need You Now by: Lady Antebellum

"And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time."

Third Song: Stayin' Worse Than Leaving by: Sunny Sweeney

"God knows we tried everything that we could do
You can keep your pride and blame me if you need to
Even though this freedom feels a lot like treason,
I know staying's worse than leaving."

Fourth Song: Get It Right by: Rachel Berry (Glee)

"So I throw up my fist, throw a punch in the air
And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair
Yeah I sent out wish
Yeah I sent up a prayer
Then finally someone will see how much I care."

Sometimes it is so hard to control your thoughts. Mine always wander back to those who are most important to me. I wonder if they care about me as much as I care about them. And most of the time, it's no. And it really is "this freedom feels a lot like treason." Sometimes it just isn't fair to be so passionate about something and it's always one-sided.

Ever feel like you give 150% in a relationship (any kind of relationship) and only get 10% back? Yeah, it makes you want to stop trying.
