#158 Forever Clay Aiken

TODAY I SMILED

Today I smiled, and all at once
Things didn't look so bad.
Today I shared with someone else,
A bit of hope I had.

Today I sang a little song,
And felt my heart grow light,
And walked a happy little mile,
With not a cloud in sight.

Today I worked with what I had
And longed for nothing more,
And what had seemed like only weeds,
Were flowers at my door.

Today I loved a little more
And complained a little less,
And in the giving of myself,
I forgot my weariness.

Measure of a Man, brought to you by Spotlightlover, Orlando 2007






Eastertime is full of cheer,
It means spring is really here.
Baskets, flowers and fancy hats,
Rabbits, too, remember that!
So all I really want to say
Is have a Happy Easter Day!





"The great gift of Easter is hope" ~ Basil C. Hume




















Everything I Need to Know I Learned from the Easter Bunny:

~ Don't put all of your eggs in one basket.
~ Walk softly and carry a big carrot.
~ Everyone needs a friend who is all ears.
~ There's no such things as too much candy.
~ All work and no play can make you a basket case.
~ Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day.
~ Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.
~ Some body parts should be floppy.
~ Keep your paws off other people's jellybeans.
~ Good things come in small sugar-coated packages.
~ The grass is always greener in someone else's basket.
~ An Easter bonnet can tame even the wildest hare.
~ To show your true colors you have to come out of your shell.
~ The best things in life are still sweet and gooey.

Chocolate Easter bunny
In a jelly bean nest,
I'm saving you for very last
Because I love you best.
I'll only take a nibble
From the tip of your ear
And one bite from the other side
So that you won't look queer.
Yum, your'e so delicious!
I didn't mean to eat
Your chocolate tail till Tuesday.
Ooops! There go your feet!
I wonder how your back tastes
With all that chocolate hair.
I never thought your tummy
Was only filled with air!
Chocolate Easter bunny
In a jelly bean nest,
I'm saving you for very last
Because I love you best.








Because You Love Me

#156 Mesmerized by Clay

"I Could Not Ask for More" - This was the first performance that turned me into mush. When Clay played to the camera I could feel him reaching right through my TV and singing to only me. The words such as 'toast', mesmerized, 'swoon' and "OMG!" had a whole new meaning after that Diane Warren night!!





















Finding Clay was better than finding a pot of gold--and that brings St. Patrick's Day to my mind.








































Since Easter is just around the corner, here are some very interesting facts about the early date this year.





I Could Not Ask for More--THAT LOOK
