So many great lines in there too, like...
"I got a dream when the darkness is over, we'll be lying in the rings of the sun."
- from "Streets of Fire."
This line is from "Tonight is What It Means to be Young." But I also love "Nowhere Fast," "He Could Never Be You," And "Hold That Snake."

And this from "Waiting for That Day": "My memory serves me far too well."

Here's one video from Street of Fire:

YouTube has a lot of them.

I don’t believe that will happen, but 2012 certainly does feel like a time of great change. Hopefully it will be a change for the better.

I am reminded of this quote that I’ve seen on a butterfly pendant:
“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, She became a butterfly.”

I'd choose transformation over destruction any day.

Dayo, like many girls her age, is a daydreamer. Unlike those girls, however, sometimes those daydreams come true. It is a gift, but it is a gift that has cost her everything.

"The Tough Track"

From “I Take My Chances” by Mary Chapin Carpenter

This seemed impossible to me. A whole week without crunchy foods, I would never make it. But I did.

But then I went back for my follow-up and she expanded the crunch ban for another week. I thought for sure I wouldn’t be able to do it. But I did.

What did I learn from this? Apparently I have more will power than I thought I did. There are hidden stores of willpower locked away for emergencies.

I’ve even managed to cut out caffeine and chocolate at my primary doctor’s suggestion. How crazy is that?

Bottom line: I have to quit whining “I can’t,” because clearly I can.
