Since my rear-end collision in August, I’ve been without my car. Although the estimate was 1 – 1.5 weeks, it’s been in the body shop for over a month now. And we’ve been told 4 times now that the work was complete, each time only to find that, no, it really really wasn’t. Looking at the trend, I’m thinking it should be ready to pick up sometime between the 6th try and the 8th. Any bets?
There’s never time enough for goodbye
There’s something always pressing
Some other thing to do
There’s always just some reason not to spend the time with you
I thought I had a lifetime
To say what I need to say
I just never knew
That lifetime ends today
There’s never enough time for farewell
There’s always some distraction
It’s trivial but true
There’s always just some reason not to tell you I love you
I thought I had a lifetime
To hear what you had to say
I just never knew
You couldn’t be here all the way
Someday
As I watch the setting sun
I’ll remember all your laughter; we had our share of fun
But there’s never time enough to share with you
There are never enough moments
Never enough years
It’s always easier to fake a smile than share the tears
I thought I had a lifetime
To say what I had to say
I missed the chance
And now you’re gone away
I just never knew
That lifetime ends today
Lord, find me in the silence
Touch me in the dark
Hold me when there’s nothing left
Heal my broken heart
Be with me in the morning
In the hope of dawn and dew
Celebrate my afternoon
Keep my eyes on You
Watch with me in evening, Lord
When darkness calls again
Remind me of the coming day
And Your eternal plan
After being somewhat under the weather most of the holiday weekend, I was in need of some fresh air. So after I got off work this evening, I took myself for a brief hike. The photos aren’t great, since I snapped them in a hurry (it didn’t seem a pleasant prospect being caught on an unfamiliar trail alone in the dark, so I was pushing quite a bit faster than I otherwise would), but they give a bit of an idea.
The trail follows a noisy stream for most of its short length; although the rhododendrons, poison ivy, and other undergrowth are so thick it’s often hidden from sight. All in all, it was quite a pleasant end to the day.
