She's The One

I've been wanting to write more. I go through hot and cold patches, but, I guess that's pretty normal. It's been a desire of mine for quite some time, but, I'm always quick to blame "life" for not giving me the proper amount of time. Although there is much truth in the fact that we are busy, most of the time my lack of writing comes from fear and laziness. Let's just be a wee bit honest for a moment!

Fear of wondering what will people think? Or, will they not really be totally honest with me? Will they say, "Yeah, that's pretty good!", all the while in their mind thinking something totally different?

Lazy in the fact that there is always something else to do or somewhere else to be. I say to myself often, "I'll just put off writing until things calm down a bit or I have a bit more energy." When the truth is that those are just excuses, and poor ones at that.

Nonetheless, this past year has been fruitful in the song writing category! My artistic side has been piqued in ways I didn't expect. Mainly, realizing that it doesn't really matter what other people think of your art, as long as you're happy with the finished product. And if other people can glean from and be inspired by that, then all the more merrier! I'm grateful for the challenges we have faced this past year as they have caused growth in areas of my life that probably wouldn't have happened any other way.

Without further ado, I wrote this song a while back for Kelly because she's been after me for some time about writing her a song. So, I did. Finally! And I'm actually happy with it! (I think she is too!) But guess what? It doesn't really matter because it's my gift to her. I just happen to be sharing it with you all on her birthday, her "Golden Year!" It's a bit rough because there's not much time when everyone's gone or sleeping to be able to do things like this. And I really wanted to get this done today, especially! Enjoy! Kelly, I Love You!!!
