Better Things to Do Blog

Terri Clark sings a great after-break-up song called Better Things to Do. Her lyrics encourage me to stay strong and don’t regret anything that is in the past. Instead, I think she wants people to be grateful for the decisions they have made and continue living their lives for God. Furthermore, here are the lyrics Clark shares with us, obviously about her past experiences with an ex-boyfriend of hers. “Don't tell me the reason that you're calling is to see if I'm all right since you've been gone because I know you and I know why we're talking: You're wanting me to say, ‘I'm barely hanging on.’ Well, maybe that was true for a night or two, but now, I got better things to do. I could wash my car in the rain, change my new guitar strings, mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday. I don't need to waste my time crying over you. I’ve got better things to do. Maybe when I don't have so much going or quite so many irons in the fire, I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping, but now, I can't put forth the effort it requires. Well, I'd love to talk to you, but then, I'd miss Donahue. That's right, I got better things to do.” After the chorus, Clark continues, “Check the air in my tires, straighten my stereo wires, count the stars in the sky, or just get on with my life. I don't need to waste my time crying over you. I’ve got better things to do.” Thanks Terri Clark for all the encouragement you’ve given to me and so many other women.

White Horse Blog

Taylor Swift sings a beautiful song called White Horse. Another great song for any lady who has been heartbroken and needs some comfort in any decisions she has made. Swift sings, “Say you're sorry. That face of an angel comes out just when you need it to. As I paced back and forth all this time cause I honestly believed in you. Holding on, the days drag on. Stupid girl, I should have known. I should have known. I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale. I'm not the one, you'll sweep off her feet, lead her up the stairwell. This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town. I was a dreamer before you went and let me down. Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around. Baby, I was naive, got lost in your eyes, and never really had a chance. I had so many dreams about you and me, happy endings, now I know: I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale. I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet, lead her up the stairwell. This ain't Hollywood. This is a small town. I was a dreamer before you went and let me down. Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around. And there you are on your knees, begging for forgiveness, begging for me, just like I always wanted, but I'm so sorry. Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale. I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well. This is a big world. That was a small town there in my rearview mirror disappearing now. And it's too late for you and your white horse, now it's too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now. Try and catch me now. It's too late to catch me now.”

Buy Me A Rose Blog

“Buy me a rose, call me from work, open a door for me, what would it hurt? Show me you love me by the look in your eyes. These are the little things I need the most in my life.” Kenny Rogers sings these beautiful lyrics in his country song called Buy Me a Rose. I consider these words to resemble the thoughts of most women and men who are married or dating. I find that almost every relationship starts as a beneficial experience, but then one or both people lose interest and/or their feelings change, and therefore, they fall out of love. Then what? Well, most of them stay because they are afraid of losing essentials like, wealth, popularity, a home, love, protection, and more. Since the couple stays together, they begin to wish things would go back to the beginning. They would buy each other roses, call from work, open doors, and each person knew it didn’t hurt either one. They just want to be loved and for each person to show their love for one another. They remember when they were young, and how easy it was to do those “little things” for each other, which proved their love and happiness. So, what do they do now? They tend to start over with the “little things” that made each person happy, and either the relationship survives and lasts forever, or they realize they have fallen out of love. Therefore, they understand that glass, just like their hearts, cannot be unbroken, and their lives must go on even if they don’t stay together.
