What makes you feel most like yourself?

It is that time.....my time of year.  October is my favorite month and then along comes November, my birthday month.  

So, I'm feeling like the person I am all because of.....

Black fingernails and toes courtesy of the best nail techs ever (only been seeing these girls since I was in my 20's). Black for October....that's me all the way.  Actually, I do black all winter long.  

That's all except Elijah has always done his Song Fo The Day (as he calls it). His are always some songs I've certainly never heard, old, bluesy most the time, and always have to have that tinge of sadness or melancholy to them.  That's him.  Doesn't matter that he's written some of my favorite songs ever and they are not like that.  Although, these days he's writing the sad songs.  Life gets you like that sometimes.  But then if it didn't we wouldn't understand each other so well.  

So, here is my song for the day........

Hang

She grabs her magazines
She packs her things and she goes
She leaves the pictures hanging on the wall, she burns all
Her notes and she knows, she's been here too few years
To feel this old

He smokes his cigarette, he stays outside 'til it's gone
If anybody ever had a heart, he wouldn't be alone
He knows, she's been here too few years to be gone

And we always say, it would be good to go away someday
But if there's nothing there to make things change
If it's the same for you I'll just hang

The trouble understand, is she got reasons he don't
Funny how he couldn't see it at all 'til she grabbed up her coat
And she goes, she's been here too few years to take it all in stride
But still it's much too long, to let hurt go (you let her go)

And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
But if there's nothing there to make things change
If it's the same for you I'll just hang
The same for you
I'll always hang

Well I always say, it would be good to go away
But if things don't work out like we think
And there's nothing there to ease this ache
But if there's nothing there to make things change
If it's the same for you I'll just hang

Addendum......
Why the hell did I even look??
