Overcome by Alexandra Burke

This song gives me goose bumps! LOVE IT!!!

If you walk with your head down
You can count every step you take
I know every place I've been now
I can count every mistake
I've been hurt so many times before
Almost forgotten how to dream
All that I was running from
Is all I need to save me

I could'nt let you in my heart
My defenses all fall apart
Just when I thought I'd given up
I have overcome
And now I can't let you go, oh no
You showed me something that I've never known
And finally I've found the one
I have overcome

You can never see it coming there's always that one you can't count out
Who keeps on believing nothings gonna stop me now I've been hurt so many times before
Almost forgotten how to dream
All that I was running from is all I need to save me

I could'nt let you in my heart
My defenses all fall apart
Just when I thought I'd given up
I have overcome
And now I can't let you go, oh no
You showed me something that I've never known
And finally I've found the one
I have overcome

I'm not running anymore
Coz now there's nothing left to hold me down
Some things are worth fighting for
I see it all
It's waiting for me now

I could'nt let you in my heart
My defenses all fall apart
Just when I thought I'd given up
I have overcome
And now I can't let you go, oh no
You showed me something that I've never known
And finally I've found the one
I have overcome

I could'nt let you in my heart
My defenses all fall apart
Just when I thought I'd given up
I have overcome
And now I can't let you go, oh no
You showed me something that I've never known
And finally I've found the one
I have overcome
I have overcome

The Tale of Two Blisters

My blisters are back!  I decided to get back on track with my walking now that the three older kids are in Alaska with their grandparents for the summer.  I did 12 miles this week.  My goal was 15.  On Wednesday, I decided to do six miles.  Three miles I did during lunch and the other three I did at Greenlake.  Being the absolutely brillant person that I am, I decided to wear ankles socks.  Hey, my Reetones are paded.  I didn't even think about the affect the ankle socks would have on my heels after walking six miles.  I ended up with two big blisters on my heels.  After I put the babies down for the night, I decided to take a nice hot bath.  Surveying the damage done to my precious heels, I decide to make an epic, yet disastrous, decision.  I popped the blisters......YEA!!  BRILLANT, HUH???!!!  As you can tell, this story has not ended well.  I have been walking around like I have a stick up my ass because my heels are KILLING me!  I managed to walk three miles yesterday.  But I did not make the planned trip for the other three miles at Greenlake.  And I will be passing on my minimium three miles today.  I will be giving my poor heels a break this weekend.  Hopefully my heels and I will be recovered enough to start walking again on Monday.  But I have learned two BIG BIG lessons from this:

•  NO ANKLE SOCKS
•  DO NOT POP BLISTERS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR ANY REASON
