Music...

I put Grace down for a nap today and then turned on my i-pod for a bit of music while I waited for her to wake up. First song to play? Sarah-Beth by Rascal Flatt's. Ever hear that song? Enough to make anyone cry. Then the next song was the one that makes me smile and think I can do anything. Its what I've been calling my theme song since I found out about the cancer. Faith of the Heart by Rod Stewart...I never really listened to it before, but its the perfect song for me:

Its been a long road,

Getting from there to here.

Its been a long time,

But my time is finally near.

And I can feel a change in the wind right now,

Nothings in my way,

And they're not gonna hold me down no more,

No they're not gonna hold me down.

Cause I've got faith of the heart,

I'm going where my heart will take me.

I've got faith to believe,

I can do anything.

I've got strength of the soul,
And no one's gonna bend or break me.

I can reach any star.

I've got faith, I've got faith, faith of the heart.

Its been a long night,

Trying to find my way.

Been through the darkness,

Now I've finally have my day.

And I will see my dream come alive at last,

I will touch the sky,

And they're not gonna hold me down no more,
No they're not gonna change my mind.
Cause I've got faith of the heart,
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe,
I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul,

And no one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star.
I've got faith, I've got faith, faith of the heart.

I've known a wind so cold,

I've seen the darkest days,

But now the winds I feel

Are only winds of change.

I've been through the fire,

I've been through the rain,

But I'll be fine.

Perfect.... I had listened to it at least once a day, but I've been slacking on that. When I feel my morale slip I put it on as loud as my ears can stand and listen, really picks me up. Reminds me just how strong I really am and that no matter what happens, what bumps we hit, that I'll be fine cause I can do anything.

Its amazing how strong a person really can be when they need to be. I've seen my husband do things he never thought he'd have to do. Like be a single dad every time I go into the hospital, and other than a few quirks, he does real well. He gives me a shot every night after chemo, he changes my bandages and looks at things that most people would cringe about. I'm lucky and blessed.

Its going to be a good day after all, even with all this rain and sleet we're having. :-)

Be well.

"I've seen the best, I've seen the worst, I wouldn't change what I've been through. I touched the sky, I hit the wall, but I did what I had to. On my way here, where I am now, I learned to fly, I have to want to leave the ground. I've falling hard, but I've been loved. In the end it all works out. My faith has conquered fear, on my here"
