Jason Mraz performs “I Won’t Give Up” for VH1 Storytellers in New York City.
That’s it! I’m going to see this man in concert when he comes to Dallas in August. There’s no way I can miss him. This story… this song… I won’t lie… I cried. Me = Sap.

I might actually cry if this man announces he’s retiring tomorrow. I’m not a Wings fan, but Lidstrom is the epitome of class. He’s at the top of list of greatest defensemen in the NHL and I have nothing but mad respect for him. Regardless of whether or not I’m a fan of the team he plays for, I’ve always enjoyed watching him play — except when he gave my Stars fits ;) — and it will be really strange not hearing his name during games. I still miss hearing Modano’s name during broadcasts and it’s been almost a year since he’s retired.

A Step In The Right Direction!
What a day!
It started with a phone call from hockey great, Bobby Orr! How cool is that?!
Then we embarked on a long day at Courage Center (www.couragecenter.org). Can’t say we weren’t nervous, especially since Jack missed all of his rehab sessions last week when he was in the hospital. We honestly weren’t sure how much he was going to handle.
But WOW, his determination knocked our socks off. He began the day with his assessment for the ABLE program (Activity-Based Locomotor Exercise), a non-traditional form of rehab that activates the muscles and nerves to promote a greater degree of neuro recovery. In short, if you’re willing and able (actually, pun is intended!) to work hard, this type of rehab can lead to an improved quality of life, health and more strength.
While going through the assessment, Jack pulled off a few firsts…he moved his left leg and ankle ever so slightly. He also wiggled his middle left finger. Needless to say, I’m thrilled that he gave me the finger, especially the left one because this has become his weaker side since the injury. Kind of tough for a natural born lefty.
After the assessment, Jack was strapped into a harness so that he could work on the treadmill. We weren’t sure if he’d be able to tolerate being in an upright position for more than a short while, but he did! With the help of Courage Center staff, Jack took his first steps in five months. It was a breathtaking moment and one that his mom will never forget.
Certainly a step in the right direction!

When I look into your eyes
It’s like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There’s so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you’ve come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?
I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up
And when you’re needing your space
To do some navigating
I’ll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find
‘Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We’ve got a lot to learn
God knows we’re worth it
I won’t give up
I don’t wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I’m here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you’re still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn’t break, we didn’t burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I’ve got, and what I’m not
And who I am
I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up
Still looking up.
So easy is our life
What’s mine is yours and yours mine
Hardly do we ever fight,
We’d rather be kind.
I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get dark
I’m healing this broken heart
I know I’m worth it…
I won’t give up on us (no I’m not giving up)
God knows I’m tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We got a lot to learn (we’re alive, we are loved)
Lady you’re worth it (and we’re worth it)
No, I won’t give up on us (no I’m not giving up)
God knows I’m tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We got a lot to learn (we’re alive, we are loved)
Lady you’re worth it (and we’re worth it)
No, I won’t give up
I am in love with this song. It will be played at my wedding, whenever that happens to be. I love this version so much more than the version that’s on the album. It’s just perfect.

Isaac’s Live Lip-Dub Proposal (by RobertaFosse)
Future husband had better take notes. ;-) Be creative and think totally outside of the box. This is quite possibly one of THE BEST proposals I’ve ever seen!!
THIS!!! Depending on the book, “Emotional trauma” is the understatement of the century. Perfect example (at least on my end): I just finished reading “Mockingjay” a few nights ago and emotional trauma doesn’t even begin to describe it. Call me a sap, a wimp, melodramatic or whatever, but that book tore me up.
What the? What?
I want to watch this interview. And play Charades with that Thor dude.
I want to play! This looks highly entertaining. Where can I find a video of this interview?
