Thanks for all of your words. It's just what I need to hear. It is like a pressure cooker! I know it's almost over....just have to get through it. And I will, and I know that. It's just not the most fun thing I've ever done for sure. Your understanding and support mean the world.

I know a lot of us have talked about specific songs that have helped us in some way or other. I remember last July I bought an India Arie CD, and there were SO many songs on there that were inspirational while I was wrestling with what to do about my relationship. Reading CE's post about "this too shall pass" reminded me of one of those songs. I just dug out the CD and am listening to it again. I would highly recommend the CD (it's Testimony: vol. 1, Life & Relationship). I know you probably don't want to read a bunch of lyrics, but here it is for anyone who would.

This Too Shall Pass - India Arie

I've achieved so much in life,
but I'm an amateur in love
My bank account is doing just fine
but my emotions are bankrupt


My body is nice and strong
but my heart is in a million pieces
When the sun is shining so am I
but when night falls, so do my tears


Sometimes the beat is so loud in my heart
that I can barely tell our voices apart
Sometimes the fear is so loud in my head
that I can barely hear what God says


but then I hear a whisper that this too shall pass
I hear the angels whisper that this too shall pass
my ancestors whisper that this day will one day be the past
so I walk in faith that this too shall pass


The one that loved me the most
turned around and hurt me the worst
Been doing my best to move on
but the pain just keeps singing me songs


My head and my heart are at war
cause love ain't happening the way I want it
Feel like I'm about to break down
can't hear the light at the end of the tunnel
is when I pray for healing in my heart
to be put back together what is torn apart
and I pray for quiet in my head
that I can hear clearly what God says
but then I hear a whisper that this too shall pass
I hear the angels whisper that this too shall pass
my ancestors whisper that this day will one day be the past
so I walk in faith that this too shall pass

All of a sudden I realized
that it only hurts worse to fight it
So I embrace my shadow and hold on to the morning light

this too shall pass...

I hear the angels whisper that trouble don't have to last always
I hear the angels whisper even the day after tomorrow will one day be yesterday
I hear my angels whisper
I hear my angels whisper
this too shall pass
