Ten Years Ago

December of 2008, I began blogging(?) on this site. I've gone through many changes over that time period - as has the name of this page. My plan is to "Stretch My Dash" for as long as I can and fo many more years to come. You can expect plenty more changes along the way, too, as I am planning a relocation to the West Slope of Colorado in late March of 2019. You can also expect this blog to go through those changes along with me. I am very fortunate, at 67, to have the Health, Resources, and Fortitude to be able to go wherever I want, whenever I want. I know how lucky I am and I don't take ANY of it for granted. I am appreciative of everything that has occurred along the way in my 67 years that has made my Freedom possible and now I intend to exercise that Freedom to seek Happiness, for ME. I am also appreciative of all YOU folks who visit here, too, and want you to know my plans include keeping this blog going for as long as I'm able. Thanks to you all for showing up over here and all the kindness you've shown to me along the way. I Wish You A Healthy, Happy, Loving and Prosperous coming New Year 2019. Thanks for coming by! This song is for YOU ALL. "We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our soul."

Then as it was, then again it will be
And though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea

Blind stars of fortune, each have several rays
On the wings of maybe, downy birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest, got so far to go

Changes fill my time, baby, that's alright with me
In the midst I think of you, and how it used to be

Did you ever really need somebody
And really need 'em bad?
Did you ever really want somebody
The best love you ever had?

Do you ever remember me, baby,
Did it feel so good?
'Cause it was just the first time,
And you knew you would

Dewy eyes now sparkle, senses growing keen
Taste your love along the way, see your feathers preen
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow
We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our soul

Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
I never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be
Oh, darlin', oh, darlin'
Oh, darlin', oh, darlin'

I'm never gonna leave you.
I'm never gonna leave
Holdin' on,
Ten years gone
Holdin' on,
Ten years gone,
Ten years gone,
Holdin' on,
Ten years gone
I'm never
I'm never
I'm never
