Music Monday: When You're Gone by The Cranberries

"And in the day, everything's complex

There's nothing simple when I'm not around you

But I miss you, when you're gone

That is what I do, hey baby, baby

It's hard to carry on, that is what I do, hey baby"

Music Monday: In The End by Linkin Park

"It's so unreal

Didn't look out below

Watch the time go right out the window

Trying to hold on, but you didn't even know

I wasted it all just to watch you go

I kept everything inside

And even though I tried, it all fell apart

What it meant to me

Will eventually be a memory"

Music Monday: The Call by Regina Spektor

"Now we're back to the beginning

It's just a feeling and no one knows yet

But just because they can't feel it too

Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger

'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back when they call you

No need to say goodbye

You'll come back when they call you

No need to say goodbye"

That I almost believe that they're real

That I almost believe that the pictures are

All I can feel"

Music Monday: I Want You Here by Plum

"An ache

So deep

That I

Can hardly breathe

This pain

Can't be imagined

Will it ever heal?

Your hand

So small

Held a strand of my hair

So strong

All I could do

Was keep believing

Was that enough?

Is anyone there?

I wanna scream

Is this a dream?

How could this happen,

Happen to me?

This isn't fair

This nightmare

This kind of torture

I just can't bear

I want you here

I want you here"

Remember the Journey

There are some days after placement that you will never feel whole.  However, there are the other days where love and peace surround you.  Those days are very rejuvenating and necessary for the soul to replenish itself.

Remind yourself how blessed you truly are for how far you have come in your life's journey.  Even if you have just five minutes, close your eyes and mentally walk through the steps you slowly took to get you where you are today.

Don't forget to express gratitude for those who supported you and helped you when you couldn't walk one more step.  "Gratitude is the key to abundance."

Relax and enjoy these moments.  Write about them and re-read them when you are having a rough day.

I listen to this song to remind me of my own path.... Reach for the Light by Steve Winwood.

Music Monday: Carrying Your Love With Me - George Straight

"On a lonely highway stuck out in the rain
Darlin all I have to do, is speak your name
The clouds roll back and the waters part
The sun starts shinin' in my heart for you
You're right there in everything I do... "
