snowball effect

Posted: Feb 18, 2010

MAN OH MAN! It's been one of those years... Ever feel like the sh*t is never gonna stop hitting the fan??! I'm so there right now. It seems like everyone close to me has got so much going on, with either being really sick, dealing with their jobs, money, personal issues. I feel like I am everyone's sanity touchstone right now and know what?? IT'S MAKING ME NUTS!

There has not been ONE SINGLE WEEK this year that there is not someone in "crisis". I had a private meltdown this morning and then, like the dear lord was talking to me through the TV (yeah I know, but...) a song came on, don't know what it was, but the lyrics were something about "it's not how you start, it's how you finish, it's not where you're from, it's where your at... Everybody gets knocked down, how quick are you gonna get up"... Whatever... It spoke to my inner strength is what I'm getting at.

I remembered that I am not a weakling. This is just LIFE happening. There are no appointments for crud... ya know? I still feel kind of blue that soooo much is going on, but it's not going on with ME and people are just leaning on me, just like I'd lean on them if I needed. I'm fortunate that nothing is wrong with my health or anything.

Wheew, I feel better for just putting in down on this posting.

So, how quick are YOU gonna get up?

~Be strong!

It is from the musical "Seesaw."

It's Not Where You Start (It's Where You Finish)
Music by Cy Coleman
Lyrics by Dorothy Fields

If you start at the top, you're certain to drop.
You've got to watch your timing;
Better begin by climbing up, up, up the ladder.
If you're going to last, you can't make it fast, man,
Nobody starts a winner, give me a slow beginner.
Easy does it my friend, conserve your fine endurance,
Easy does it my friend, for that's your life insurance.

It's not where you start, it's where you finish,
It's not how you go, it's how you land.
A hundred to one shot, they call him a klutz,
Can outrun the fav'rite, all he needs is the guts.
Your final return will not diminish,
And you can be cream of the crop.
It's not where you start, it's where you finish,
And you're gonna finish on top.

It might be this one called: Ali in the Jungle. It's from a Nike commercial that's running during the Olympics right now, so maybe that's where you heard it. ps. I've been there, where your at now. This will pass. Glad you found a bit of inspiration in something unexpected. Keep your head up.

"Itâ��s not how you start, itâ��s how you finish. And itâ��s not where youâ��re from, itâ��s where youâ��re at.

Everybody gets knocked down,
everybody gets knocked down â��
how quick are you gonna get up?
how quick are you gonna get up?
Everybody gets knocked down,
everybody gets knocked down â��
how quick are you gonna get up?
just how are you gonna get up?

Like Ali in the jungle,
like Nelson in jail,
like Simpson on the mountain;
with odds like that, they were bound to fail. Like Keller in the darkness,
like Adams in the dock,
like Ludwig Van â�� how I love that man â�� well the guy went deaf and didnâ��t give a f**k, noâ�¦
no, no, noâ�¦

Itâ��s not where you are, itâ��s where youâ��re going,
Where are you going?
And itâ��s not about the things youâ��ve done, itâ��s what youâ��re doing now,
What are you doing now?

Everybody gets knocked down,
everybody gets knocked down â��
how quick are you gonna get up?
how quick are you gonna get up now?
Everybody gets knocked down,
everybody gets knocked down â��
how quick are you gonna get up?
just how are you gonna get up?

Like Ali in the jungle,
like Nelson in jail,
like Simpson on the mountain;
with odds like that, they were bound to fail.
Like Keller in the darkness,
like Adams in the dock,
like Ludwig Van â�� how I love that man â�� well the guy went deaf and didnâ��t give a f**k, noâ�¦
no, no, noâ�¦"

As I was looking through my pinterest I came across this recipe I wanted to share. I have not made them yet, first because my oven is broke, second because my husband would not eat them and I can no longer eat a whole tray of sweets by myself and they would go to waste, but wanted to share this recipe. They look so yummy. I'm a HUGE fan of the snowball cupcakes and thought some of you might enjoy these. http://www.confessionsofacookbookqueen.com/sno-ball-bro ...

" The United States and Iran have agreed in principle for the first time to one-on-one negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, according to Obama administration officials, setting the stage for what could be a last-ditch diplomatic effort to avert a military strike on Iran." "Even if the two sides sit down, American officials worry that Iran could prolong the negotiations to try to forestall military action and enable it to complete critical elements of its nuclear progra ...
