Halo - Bethany Joy Galeotti (Haley James Scott, One Tree Hill) A song from the show

I never promised you a ray of light, 
I never promised there'd be sunshine everyday, 
I give you everything I have, the good, the bad. 
Why do you put me on a pedestal, 
I'm so up high that I can't see the ground below, 
So help me down you've got it wrong, I don't belong there. 

One thing is clear, 
I wear a halo, 
I wear a halo when you look at me, 
But standing from here, you wouldn't say so 
you wouldn't say so, if you were me 
And I, I just wanna love you, 
Oh oh I, I just wanna love you 

I always said that I would make mistakes, 
I'm only human, and that's my saving grace, 
I fall as hard as I try 
So don't be blinded 
See me as I really am, I have flaws and sometimes I even sin, 
so pull me from that pedestal, 
I don't belong there. 

One thing is clear, 
I wear a halo, 
I wear a halo when you look at me, 
But standing from here, you wouldn't say so 
you wouldn't say so, if you were me 
And I, I just wanna love you, 
Oh oh I, I just wanna love you 

Why you think that you know me 
But In your eyes 
I am something above you 
It's only in your mind 
Only in your mind 
I wear a 
I wear a 
I wear a Halo 

HELP - Golf Advice needed

If you have been following me on Twitter you may have noticed I've been talking about Golf a bit in the last week or so. Well I'm far from a Pro and up until last Thursday; the last time I had played was over 3 years ago. I used to play for fun with friends and now have been asked to be in a team match next May, playing for a charity of my choice.

I first of all laughed off the opportunity as I hadn't played for ages but I then thought about it more and realised it would be fun and after a trip to TopGolf in Watford I feel much more confident in myself. I didn't score too highly at TopGolf but it wasn't too bad, I was though way of what my friend scored but then he has been playing for about 10 years.

I'm going again to TopGolf this week with some friends, one of them I will be competing against in this match in May so this should be fun!

I realise I have quite a lot of time to practise before the actual event and so I was wondering if anyone has any tips?

There is the decision also about what to wear for this match! Being a girl that was one of the first things that I did think about, stupid huh? But it's something to definitely consider

I'll keep you updated on my progress both practising and deciding on what to wear - as you're obviously all interested in both, haha! Also I'll post up more details when I know details about the match etc

Can you tell that my overall fear has become excitement? 

So I'll be interested in any help that you may have. What's best and what's not?

THANK YOU!

Ups and Downs

Up escalator. Down escalator. No, that’s not the name of a new Dr. Seuss book. It’s a pairing of two very handy mechanisms that are both quite necessary. True, we could survive without escalators, but we would still need to go up and down stairs…you can’t just keep going up.

In life, we need both ups and downs. If you plan to chase happiness means that you’ll try to avoid all downs, you are in for trouble.

Downs are inevitable. Things happen that just don’t go your way, and human beings are hard wired to react. When someone close to you passes away or just goes away, you are supposed to feel down. When someone hurts you. When a friend fails. When you fail. When traffic is particularly thick or your wallet is particularly thin. There are so many times when you will feel down.

Yes, even the happiest people feel down.

But a happy person does not stay down long. A happy person moves fairly soon from mourning a loss to celebrating a life. From feeling like a failure to grasping the lesson and renewing his determination. From feeling frustrated to just letting the universe unfold.

Up. Down. They are both fine - just depends on how long you stay down for...
