I know I am more than a year late in recognizing this song....by Miley Cyrus, "The Climb" but everything happens for a reason.

Starting college next week is starting to make me second guess my decision. Is it too early for me to go? Will my girls be properly taken care of when in other's care? Am I doing the right thing? The motivation for starting is the bad economy and growing kids.....my girls want everything. And the presents are getting bigger. (think CAR) Oh jeez when does it ever end? Does it ever end?

Without getting too personal about what I am going for, I can say classes will last 9 months and should start me in the medical field. My next step will come later if I like this field. I've been a stay at home mom for 15 years now. I just can't believe it.....thinking back....it's gone so fast. I never thought that I would be saying that. Amazing. My God, where have the years gone?

This song, "The Climb" I happen to run across while on YouTube searching for "how to make a rag rug" of all things. I think the video must have been featured for me to see it. I usually don't listen to Miley Cyrus... (*except for the song Party in the USA, I can DANCE to that!) lol But the words in this song resonate within my heart.

I have VERY often started projects, classes etc and not finished them. I had something in my mind/heart that drove me from accomplishing many things. But lately...I have put ME first. Me...for once in my life. I am learning to say "no" and to overlook the little things that make me angry. Even the big things that make me angry....animal rights, political things, religious arguments.

If it doesn't have to do with something positive and moving FORWARD in life, then I don't want anything to do with it. I am sorry for those I have hurt in the past and those I have used, put aside, hurt and angered. I'm truly sorry.

The Climb lyrics
Songwriters: Alexander, J; Mabe, J;

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"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 gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna 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 might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna 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, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna 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, yeah!

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
