Yay Lauren!

This is so neat that my church does this. Every year near the end of the school year they present Bibles to the first graders now that they can read. I love that she got a pink one. Lauren is the cutie with pigtails, leggings, glasses, and the purse.

Say Hello and Wave Goodbye

Standing at the door of the pink flamingo
Crying in the rain
It was a kind of so so love,
And Im gonna make sure it doesnt happen again.

You and I had to be the standing joke of the year.
You were a run around,
A lost and found.
And not for me I feel.

Take your hands off me, please
I dont belong to you, you see.

Take a look in my face, for the last time.
I never knew you., you never knew me.
Say hello, goodbye.

Say hello and wave goodbye.

We tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt.
And me in a suit, and it just wasnt me.
Youre used to wearing less, and now your lifes a mess.
So insecure you seem.

I put up with all the scenes,
This is one scene,
Thats goin to be played my way

Take your hands off me, please
I dont belong to you, you see.

Take a look in my face, for the last time.
I never knew you., you never knew me.
Say hello, goodbye.

Say hello and wave goodbye.
Say hello and wave goodbye.

Under the deep red light,
I can see the make up slidding down.
Well hey little girl, you will will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frown.

As for me well, Ill find some one
Whos not going cheap in the sales.
A nice little house wife, wholl give me a steady life.
And not keep going off the rails.

Take your hands off me, please
I dont belong to you, you see.

Take a look in my face, for the last time.
I never knew you., you never knew me.
Say hello, goodbye.

Say hello and wave goodbye.
Say hello and wave goodbye.
Say hello and wave goodbye.
Wave goodbye.
Say hello and wave goodbye.
Say hello, wave goodbye.
Goodbye.
Say goodbye.
Say goodbye.

We were born before the wind.
Who were we to understand.
We were born before the wind
Say goodbye.

Through the rain, hail, sleet and snow,
Say good bye.
And Im trying, trying, trying
To say goodbye.
Say goodbye.
Say goodbye.
Say goodbye.

In the wind and the rain my darling.

Say goodbye.

In the wind and the rain my darling...

Say Hello Wave Goodbye

Say Hello Wave Goodbye - David Gray

It took me a long time to realize how much power I had given him over me. I'm nobody's property and nobody should lay their hands on me. I'm learning to have boundaries, healthy ones. The kind that let the good in and keep the bad out. Seems simple really but it's amazing how fast we can lose our boundaries and then one day look around and see that we have no boundary lines at all. I still care about what happens to my ex but I never again want to give him or anybody that much control over me. I'm glad that I have such a strong support system with my friends and my church. I suggest reading "Boundaries" by Henry Cloud if you have issues with saying no to people.
