Meaningful Lyrics

“If I never said I’m sorry / it’s not ‘cause I’m not / it’s just that some words are too big and too hard / and they just get caught.” L DOUCET

"There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around." Anna Nalick - Breathe / 2AM

"All the fear has left me now, I’m not frightened anymore"

"Peace in the struggle
To find peace
Comfort on the way
To comfort" Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy

Best of what's around




Hey my friend
It seems your eyes are troubled
Care to share your time with me
Would you say you're feeling low and so
A good idea would be to get it off your mind



See you and me
Have a better time than most can dream
Have it better than the best
So we can pull on through
Whatever tears at us
Whatever holds us down
And if nothing can be done
We'll make the best of what's around


************************************
One of my friends is not doing very well and I came across this Dave Matthews Band song today while I was making her a music CD. It is such a wonderful uplifting song. Always warms my heart when I hear it. Music can be a medicine on its own sometimes.

City Hall

Today was such a beautiful day! Cold but clear. I met up with Chloe & her friend Brooke at London bridge to go to the Open Day of the London City Hall. The three of us were pleasantly surprised what we saw there. A carpet with an aerial photo of London, where you could locate areas of Greater London, and then on the top floor the Living Room, a beautiful view over a part of London you cant see from the London Eye...eg. Tower Hill and Tower Bridge, the 30 St Mary Axe (aka The Gherkin)and Docklands highrise.

Walked over to St Katherine Docks and had a few drinks and cardgames there in Dickins Inn, a really nice laid back bar. Have only lived in & near London for 2 years now, and it still astounds me! Met up with Chloe's brother a little later in Angel. Great company,a real feel good day!

Fumbling Towards Gratification

I love being busy, but with Month end, Year end, Price Waterhouse Coopers and Sox audit and oh.. did I mention I have a new job??? Yes I do since 3 days, still with Sony but in a different department, and I am still doing my old job on the side, because there is no replacement yet. I am also looking into studying Finance & Accounting as even though they have made me permanent and I can finally call myself a Financial Analyst... I dont have any qualifications to back any of it up.....So yes... very exciting step, big jump on the careerladder... very scary too because it is not often I choose for a long term benefit, instead of immediate gratification. Am I growing up?

Social life is nearly zero, hardly even time for the gym? Will this be what I have been hoping for careerwise? Luckily my friend Chloe is around this weekend, and we will be meeting up. Mind you I am on a Lent/chocolate/snack diet and she is on a no alcohol Lent.... I am sure we shall have some fun! I have some other really nice things to look FW to as well! I have booked a trip to see my friend Averil, hubbie Dominic and their 2year old which I have not met yet in Ireland in 2nd weekend of April. The following week a friend from Australia is over, and with Easter I shall be at home, as it is also my nephew Patricks 16th (!!) birthday. And to top it off, me and my mum are going to Rome for 5 days after Easter.... I cant wait,...if any of you have any tips... let me know!

Peace

Susanne
