The End is in Sight

Tomorrow is the last day of February and I am scared to death. I look at my task list and panic. I shouldn't, things always seem to work out and get done and so on and so forth but this time I am really afraid.

It will be ok though, I still have most of my sanity and enough to get me to the end of the semester, as stated, the end is in sight. I have little things that help me though. Janelle makes me awesome food everyday and just having her here is a huge help. I have also been playing hockey like three of four times a week which is a good release for me and a good chance to do something active. I feel like I am always improving too which is encouraging.

But still I think we all let the work and stress build up on us once in a while. I just have school, work, getting married, buying a house, paying for a car, moving, 8 weddings to attend and buy gifts for, paying for all of this... (breathing heavy)...

In Like A Lion (Always Winter)

It's always nice to look out the window
And see those very first few flakes of snow
And later on we can go outside
And create the impression of an angel that just fell from the sky

When February rolls around I'll roll my eyes
Turn a cold shoulder to these even colder skies
And by the fire my heart it heaves a sigh
For the green grass waiting on the other side

It's always winter but never Christmas
It seems this curse just can't be lifted
Yet in the midst of all this ice and snow
Our hearts stay warm cause they are filled with hope

It'd be so nice to look out the window
And see the leaves on the trees begin to show
The birds would congregate and sing
A song of birth a song of newer things

The wind would calm and the sun would shine
I'd go outside and I'd squint my eyes
But for now I will simply just withdraw
Sit here and wait for this world to thaw

And everything it changed overnight
This dying world you brought it back to life
And deep inside I felt things
Shifting everything was melting
Away oh away
And you gave us the most beautiful of days

Cause when it's always winter but never Christmas
Sometimes it feels like you're not with us
But deep inside our hearts we know
That you are here and we will not lose hope
