Say What You Need to Say

My newest favorite song (playing right here) of John Mayer holds a great message. Say what you need to say. Don't hold back- say it. To many times I think we hold back because of not wanting to hurt people's feelings or "rock the boat" or thinking it's not our place but as the lyric says, "It's better to say too much, than never to say what you need to say again." Especially if the thought you want to say is positive and uplifting and could lend encouragement or support. SAY IT!

To many people let their loved ones go to the grave without telling them important things and feelings. Let's not have any regrets with our relationships because when people are gone, they are really gone. So this blog is for all of you, who need to speak up to someone in your life. Maybe some need to come out of the closet or some need to tell hard things that have happened to them, or maybe some need to just express deep feelings of "I love you," but I hope you can all find the courage to just say it. And I don't mean drunk dialing either. :-) We all need a kick in the pants sometimes to get motivated to say more, even to the ones you love. So tell them you love them, that you're disappointed, or tell them you forgive them or don't agree with their life or whatever- SAY SOMETHING!!!!! Saying=caring to me and so many days go by and you don't hear from people and they don't hear from you and you just exist on the same planet but one day you won't have the chance anymore so do it, people. :-) How's that for reality? It sucks but do it. Much love, Senga

"Take all of your wasted honor.
Every little past frustration.
Take all of your so called problems,
Better put 'em in quotations.

Say what you need to say (x8)

Walkin' like a one man army,
Fightin' with the shadows in your head.
Livin' up the same old moment
Knowin' you'd be better off instead

If you could only...Say what you need to say (x8)

Have no fear for givin' in.
Have no fear for giving over.
You better know that in the end
It's better to say too much, than never to say what you need to say again.

Even if your hands are shaking,
And your faith is broken.
Even as the eyes are closin',
Do it with a heart wide open.

Say what you need to say (x7)

Say what you need to, Say what you need to...

Say what you need to say."

Sounds like something serious is on Senga's mind tonight.

I have my own version of "drunk dialing" which is "Ambien dialing." Take an Ambien, wait 30 minutes, and it will make you say all the things you're not saying, and then you won't remember in the morning, but the person you dialed will.

I'm not sure if that's in keeping with the spirit of Senga's sweet message here.

Good post, Senga. I love you. :) (And I haven't taken an Ambien!)

Aww, I love you too Kelli girl. I was in a serious mood last night. I'll tell you more ofline about that.
I remember many a "Ambien dialing" from you. :-) Something about an operation being performed in your bathroom and then seeing some guy outside late at night sitting on the curb smoking. Way funny now.
