Billy Joels birthday (yesterday)

Yeah so alright - he is a pop musician, not my most favorite genre, but he had lyrical jewels. Below is one of them. Other than that, I will post a whole bunch of pictures of our carving sessions and two cute pictures of kindergardeners taking a pause by the creek just beside the woodwork shop.

Enjoy your day, and say something nice to someone around you - create a small miracle that way...

BILLY JOEL - "And So It Goes"

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense


And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
