OUR FAMILY GARDEN: Keep It Together

Last weekend 4 generations of my family sat together watching slideshows of the last 60 years (and more) of our family history. Our family has had some very legitimate and painful struggles as well as soaring triumphs. ?I love my family. ?I'm grateful for my family. ?What I want most in life is for my family to love me and to really know me. ?One of my favorite workout songs is "Keep it Together" by Madonna and it sums up how I feel about my family perfectly. ?"I wouldn't change it for another chance... cuz blood is thicker than any other circumstance..."

I got brothers, I got some sisters too
Stuck in the middle tell you what I'm gonna do
Gonna get out of here, I'm gonna leave this place
So I can forget every single hungry face
I'm tired of sharing all the hand me downs
To get attention I must always be the clown
I wanna be different, I wanna be on my own
But Daddy said listen, you will always have a home

Keep it together in the family
They're a reminder of your history
Brothers and sisters they hold the key
To your heart and your soul
Don't forget that your family is gold

I hit the big time but I still get the blues
Everyone's a stranger, city life can get to you
People can be so cold, never want to turn your back
Just givin' to get something
Always wanting something back
When I get lonely and I need to be
Loved for who I am, not what they want to see
Brothers and sisters, they've always been there for me
We have a connection, home is where the heart should be

When I look back on all the misery
And all the heartache that they brought to me
I wouldn't change it for another chance
'Cause blood is thicker than any other circumstance
