Wonderful, meaningful lyrics.... "Win"

I watched "Men of Honor" tonight in honor of Veteran's Day and was really struck by the closing credits song which was "Win" by Brian McKnight.  I'm not sure I've ever heard the song before but I will be downloading it for my MP3 player soon! : )  I hope you enjoy the lyrics, too...

"Win"


Dark is the night
I can weather the storm
Never say die
I've been down this road before
I'll never quit
I'll never lay down,
See I promised myself that I'd never let me down

I'll never give up
Never give in
Never let a ray of doubt slip in
And if I fall
I'll never fail
I'll just get up and try again

Never lose hope
Never lose faith
There's much too much at stake
Upon myself I must depend
I'm not looking for place or show
I'm gonna win

No stopping now
There's still a ways to go, oh
Someway, somehow
Whatever it takes, I know
I'll never quit, no no
I'll never go down,
I'll make sure they remember my name
A hundred years from now

When it's all said and done
My once in a lifetime will be back again
Now is the time
To take a stand
Here is my chance
That's why I...

I'll never give up
Never give in
Never let a ray of doubt slip in
And if I fall
I'll never fail
I'll just get up and try again

I'm gonna win.

To Trot or Not To Trot... that is the question


Hmmm... so I'm considering a post-Thanksgiving morning 5k Turkey Trot in a neighboring town.  It would be a good goal and supports their food pantry (I'm a big believer in helping out local food pantries having been a laid-off single Mom and on the verge of going to one once...).

The Turkey Trot would be the morning after Thanksgiving Day.  I'm cooking Thanksgiving dinner, which I love to do, so I know I'll be consuming more than my alotted WW points on that particular Thursday and the exercise will do me good!

I'm in "consideration mode"... I'm leaning toward signing up! : ) 

Who am I? *grin*

Who is Out Enjoying Indian Summer....?

Oh yeah! That would be ME! :)


Went for a gorgeous 5 mile walk today... here are a few of the pix from the hiking paths...




Along Concord, Massachusetts Revolutionary War trail...



Bittersweet was everywhere... so pretty!



These stone walls date back to 1775 when the Lexington & Concord minuteman hid behind them to surprise the British redcoats as they marched through on April 19th.
