Everything

Note: Read the quotes at the bottom that inspired this song I've been singing in the morning shower to help me through the full time work day in an office. I do hope to record more soon because lyrics are sometimes hard to grasp without hearing them with music. It's coming! I'm just broke and trying to raise two kids as a single Mom. Someday...

Everything
-shawna ray, today 4/25/13
I can feel the stress hormones releasing in my blood
I need to find a way
To let go of weight and peacefully engage
By riding out the raging wave

It's all good
When you're looking for the good
I know that's right
When I'm doing things right

Happiness is not about having everything
It's about doing my best in everything
Loving me may never be that easy
But I will love you well; hope you love me back

Silently I'm drawn and answering the call Of what I love so naturally
Lifting up my voice its time I made a choice
The only one to live my life is free

It's all good
When you're looking for the good
I know that's right
When I'm doing things right

Happiness is not about having everything
It's about doing my best in everything
Loving me may never be that easy
But I will love you well; hope you love me back

Worry doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow
It takes the strength out of today
You can think that nothing in life is a miracle
Or live as there are miracles in everything!

It's all good
When you're looking for the good
I know that's right
When I'm doing things right

Don't shrink, don't settle
Don't fade away
Your light is needed
There are no mistakes
Don't shrink, don't settle
Don't fade away
Your light is needed
There are no mistakes!

Based on quotes on my fridge and bedroom mirror:

The happiest people don't necessarily have everything; they just make the best of everything!
- Unknown source

I know that's right
When I'm doing things right
(based on quote by Peter Drucker "Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.)

"It's all good when you're looking for the good"
(Shawna Ray quote...It use to irritate my former boss when I would say, "Its all good!" He would point out that it's not ALL good. And I would say, "If you're looking for the good, you can find it." He would then make that face and walks away thinking he's right and I'm crazy. Happy to now have a new boss. It's all good.

Worry doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow
It takes the strength out of today
(quote by Corrie ten Boom "Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength")

You can think that nothing in life is a miracle
Or live as there are miracles in everything
(Albert Einstein quote-"There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle")

Don't shrink Don't settle
Don't fade away
Your light is needed There's no mistakes
("There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you" -Gregg LaVoy, from the book, Callings)

And some fortune cookie quotes:
"The minute that you settle for less than you deserve, you get less than you settled for"
"He who never makes mistakes never did anything that's worthy"

"Make it a great day!"
(I say this to my kids as they get on the bus every morning and we made it into a fridge magnet. After watching the movie, "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" my daughter now jokes with a quote from the movie"That's too much pressure", which makes us laugh.)
