A great song, great musician, and a great reminder

"Better Than I Used to Be"

by: Tim McGraw

I know how to hold a grudge
I can send a bridge up in smoke
And I can't count the people I've let down, the hearts I've broke
You ain't gotta dig too deep
If you wanna find some dirt on me
I'm learning who you've been
Ain't who you've got to be
It's gonna be an uphill climb
Aww honey I won't lie

I ain't no angel
I still got a few more dances with the devil
I’m cleaning up my act little by little
I’m getting there
I can finally stand the man in the mirror I see
I ain’t as good as I’m gonna get
But I’m better than I used to be

I’ve pinned a lot of demons to the ground
I’ve got a few old habits left
But there’s still one or two I might need you to help me get

Standing in the rain so long has left me with a little rust

But put some faith in me

And someday you'll see

There's a diamond under all this rust

I ain't no angel
I still got a few more dances with the devil
I’m cleaning up my act little by little
I’m getting there
I can finally stand the man in the mirror I see
I ain’t as good as I’m gonna get
But I’m better than I used to be

     I love this song because I feel that it describes me perfectly!  I am not perfect.  I have made a lot of mistakes but I feel that I am still humble and a good person.  I am trying to correct my mistakes and keep moving forward.  It's not easy but it's necessary for me to do this in order to feel whole and/or healed.  I love my boys and my family for making me want to be a better person than who I was yesterday and little by little I'm getting there.
