Music has a way of setting our moods, emotions and our attitudes. Since I am now off bed rest, and I have went totally stir crazy these last two weeks being stuck in bed, either in the hospital, and at home. I had to get out of the house today. I decided to do some running around to get something taken care of. What should have taken only a couple hours at the most, took me all day, because I done some back roading it, taking the long way to everywhere I had to go.
I was listening to the radio like always, in my car the radio has to be on. Well I was thinking about everything, that I have to take care of, get done,and everything that have been going on. I also thought about a dear friend of mine here on OS who has been going through a rough time, well a couple of them here on OS. I think it is a rough time for just about all of us.
I heard this song on the radio, it really got me thinking about all those mountains we all have to climb, and move out of our way. No matter how rough life is, or seems too be, and no matter what life deals out, we have to keep going, it is all about the climb to get where we need to be.
I am not a big Miley Cyrus fan, I do like some of her song. This song I would have never guessed that it was her singing, when it started to play on the radio. It touched me, and said everything I wanted to tell my dear friend, and all the others out there having a rough time, and to tell myself, it said it all. I wanted to share it with all my friends here on OS. I hope you will enjoy it.
Have a great evening
Thank you for being my friends
I hope and pray for the best for everyone.

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high
There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause
There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith
Whoa a oh oh

Indeed the climb is easier when you hold another's hand.
Always a climb - nice to have friends with you on the way up!
Monte
Many people don't realize that it's not about the other side, it's all about the climb. You picked a good song eyes.
BuffyW- Today was the first time I heard it, and it brought all my friends who are struggling to my mind, not to mention family and 'real life' friends, and myself, to my mind. It did fit just about any situation anyone could be going through right now.
I know I am thought of and I so appreciate all the well wishes and kind comments, everyone put on Trigs post and my own when I got home. All of you here on OS are so Awesome and caring.
It is indeed the climb is easier when you hold another's hand. Thank you
Owlsayswho- You are right when we hold candles for one another the crapulence seems more bearable. Thank you for the blessings back. It is tough times for so many out there in the world and so many of us here on OS. I thought this song just said it all- keep your faith and basically don't give up.. Thank you
peece,
dj
I don't know how you missed me being in the hospital either. Trig done a post, than I done one when I got home. But that is okay.. I still love ya and know you were still there for me. I put a small update in the comments on the post about my son in law, still don't know anything. Thank you very much..HUGS
screaminmama- yes tough times everywhere, I thought this song fit any situation anyone is going through right now. Oh it was so nice to be out and about today. My stomach kind hurts a little from sitting up in the drivers sit all day, but it still feels good. A hyper person like me doesn't do good on two weeks of being in bed.. lol
Thank you and glad you liked the song.
Monte- Yes it does apply to just about everything and anything anyone could possibly be going through. There are so many of us on here facing troubled times. Kindness and consideration of others, that is what I do best, sometimes I put others before myself. it felt great to be out of the house doing something today. I am getting better everyday. Doctor said yesterday that it all looks good. No restrictions, said if it hurts don't do it. Well I still can't have spicy food, which is killing me, everything in my house is spicy.lol
Thank you very much and glad you liked my selection.
Yes the climb is what matters, what is on the other side still will be there when we finish the climb. Glad you liked the song. Thank you
Jimence-You are welcome and thank you.
Emma- Great advice and I will remember it. I will be good to myself. Oh I won't settle for second best from myself or anyone else. Thank you very much
Luluand- I am taking it easy and slow, watching what I do and how much I do. I always think of everyone on here, I am addicted to OS. All of you are always on my mind. I care about what happens in your lives, you are all my friends and I love ya all. Hugs.
Thank you
yes bed rest sucks the big one, and I hope not to have to do it again. I think I have watched so many movies these last two weeks that I don't think I could watch another one for a while..smiles.
Glad you liked the song.. Thank you
~runs from the post~
:) (Explanation --- in my area, they rotate this song like every 10 minutes it seems!! It's a lovely song but after the 999,999th play...EEEK!! ~hug~)
It hurts to see the people for whom we care suffering from the travesty which has been the past 8 years. As you say, a lot of our friends need encouragement and you have offered it beautifully.
Last summer ... boohoo boo baba
here-me go again? O no pity party~
I am saying Welcome back to the
world. Be better. Get well. Bless.
`
I read along time ago in a proverb~
Enjoy your bed ridden experience
I thought:`WHAT! What nutcase!
Who wrote that? Illness is no fun!
`
Last summer:`booboo? I was even on a respirator. that's no fun at all. I am only expressing empathy. Who can measure physical and mind anguishes? No one. To be in ICU, in my case, for 8- days was close to Life Half Dead. Finally, I asked this beautiful nurse from Ethiopia:`Am I nearly dead. Did I die? She radiated a peaceful smile you read about:`She did beautify my surrounding for eight days - or, forever. Her gentle manner, her words:`No, you are still on the Earth in the Land, here with us ~ In This Land Of The Living. Wow.
`
Each time I remember the 2- months in a hospital, wheel chair, and stuck to gadget monitors, I get moist eyed. I could not even sneak my best friend. She's 5- years old. She ate my jello before major surgery and liked the swivel TV. You go to the hospital and get so many needles, TV channels, and never forget it. Enjoy? I can't say I learned that part. I even was scolded by some chief-nurse for a decomposing tomato! Tomatoes that my son brought me attract fruit flies.
no beers?
O boy,
be well.
bless you.
enjoy health.
play checker?
watch a clock?
a digital clock?
no go tick clunk.
no be too fidgety.
go get rest. O gal.
I'll sneak Ya beer!
Amen. You deserve it. Thanks for this FE. Hoping and praying for you too.
There's always another climb, and you need to be in shape for it. ;-D
Make sure you spend as much time as possible outside enjoying the fresh air, sunshine, and all the little critters that make you smile (if any).
RalphTingey- Yes life is a journey, a wonderful one at that. I always enjoyed climbing those mountains also, they do make one stronger every step you take, and when you get to the top you feel so much better. It is great to be able to do things now, even if it is just reading my friends here on OS, it feels good. Glad you liked the song, I thought is said it all. Thank you
Tink- SO sorry you have to hear this song all the time. I heard it for the first time yesterday, and all my OS friends came to my mind. Thank you {HUGS}
LifeisGood- Yes so many of the ones we care about here on OS are suffering and it is hard to think about at times. When I heard this song I had to post it for everyone, to let them know that the climb is everything and that they will make it through it all.
I am taking it slow and easy, oh yes my body tells me when I have done too much. Like sitting up in a car yesterday kinda made my stomach hurt, but hey it was a great day and I enjoyed it. smiles.
Today I will take it easy. Read some on OS.
Thank you {{HUGS}}
Arthur- Thank you very much for you wonderful words.
Fingerlakeswanderer-Thank you! I am feeling much better than I was. It feels good to be able to do things.
Micheal- Yes she does have a great future in the music business. She needs to dump Disney, because the girl does have a great voice and so talented. I haven't heard that many of her songs but there are a couple that I like. Thank you
BillS-It felt great to be outside and doing something. I am taking it easy and slow, trying not to do to much. Being outdoors, taking in the fresh air is good for the soul and body.I will be ready for that next climb. Thank you
gmgaston-I thought it was a great song to share with all my wonderful friends here on OS. I hope I do inspire others. It felt great to be off bed rest and be able to do something. Thank you
I always think of all my friends here on OS. You all are such wonderful and caring people, I care about you all in return. I am glad the song was a timely message and you liked it.
Thank you
Scanner- Thank you for thinking about me. I feel much better than I did. It feels great to be able to get out and about. Peace and love back to you. Thank you
Zashin-You know there are only two songs I have heard and listened too of her's this one and one other one, both of which were really good. I thought of everyone on here struggling in these times when this song played on the radio, so I had to share it. I hope many get the message and it inspires them to keep going no matter what.
YAYAYAY I am mobile again! And it feels good. Thank you
Zuma-It feels good to be able to be back on here again. Cheers! Hugs!! Thank you
JohnWalker- I am feeling much better. OH I felt all the love on Trig's post and my own when I got home. Not to mention many other times you all have been here for me. Love ya all.
Thank you

I am taking it slow and easy. If it hurts I don't do it, if I get wore out I stop and rest. Thank you! Glad you liked the song.
The words are a powerful lesson to anyone who chooses to hear the message.
