![]() ![]() ![]() Nelson, I thank you for the beautiful melody I have enjoyed so many times and the inspiration to write this note.Country music is what fuels our passion at the Grizzly Rose. to which I say: I applaud your commitment to growth and Mr. I then went down the internet rabbit hole one night trying to figure out where in Mr Nelson’s life these lyrics came from and although I am still not sure to Nelson’s credit he does state that he was an awful partner and that he learned so much from his divorces. This is who you are at this moment and if you want you can change. Don't try to justify, don't sugar coat it. Yes, it's just not as important as whatever else you are doing/chose to do at that time. Nelson: when you don't do something it's because it is just not that important to you. I am either in your actions or not and let's not pretend otherwise. If you want to be a friend, a lover, an important person to another in a healthy relationship, “on my mind” does not cut it. I think that people are so self absorbed that they don't get that there is NO value in being “on your mind”. She said her husband and children were aware of her affection for me and that I had been “ always on her mind”. She said I was an important person in her life. It was surprising to hear that she felt, in her mind, close to me. During the conversation she realized she was one of those who called or emailed just once almost to feel they had checked off the box and moved on. I explained to my friend that I now actively choose to invest my time in people who are going to be there for me in times of need, have my back. I enjoy helping others and tend to attract people who enjoy receiving. I had passively accepted and nurtured friendships with people who gravitated towards me. I confessed that before this experience I had not chosen my friends. Late at night after some drinks I had a frank conversation with one of them about how my recent challenging experience had made me re-evaluate friendships. I went away for a weekend with college friends about 6 months after finishing chemotherapy for breast cancer. Ok Willie what a funky self centered way of apologizing. His justification: he just never took the time, he was blind, and my favorite “you were always on my mind”. In the song Willie apologizes for not loving her often enough, not treating her good enough, making her feel second best, not holding her during lonely times, never telling her he was happy to be with her, not doing the little things he should have said and done. This time I paid attention to the lyrics. I couldn't remember the lyrics but I was excited to hear what I remembered to be a beautiful romantic song. What a blast from the past! It was Willie Nelson’s “Always on my mind”. Driving home after a long day at work a familiar song came up on the radio. ![]()
