Surviving Day One...

I'm not planning on recounting my daily crying spells here or anything what with my husband being on the road, just so you know.  But, here I am, working through day one- it's always the hardest, of course- and hoping that blogging will cheer me up.  Or at least make me feel more human.  Right now I'm feeling more like a blob.

I had an excellent time the last couple of days while the band was in town, shooting photos and watching my husband play- two of the top items on my list of favorite things to do.   One of the other highlights, though, was getting to hear a really talented songwriter, Mishka, who opened for them.  He came out during Donavon's set both nights and they all played one of his songs- My Love Goes With You.  In fact, it was playing over the stereo when I first walked onto the bus, so I got to really listen to the lyrics and I was immediately in love.  His words were directly relevant to several of my recent posts, including my last one.  And, as I read over them in their entirety today, I realized they are directly relevant to the situation I am currently in with my husband.  So, I post them here for you to read in hopes that they are somehow relevant to your current situation as well.  And, maybe we both can glean some comfort from words.

(The words in bold are my absolute favorite, and best encompass my efforts in this blog.)


If there was one song that I could sing
to help you through each and every day
I would sing a song to remind you 
that we're only ever living for today
 
My love goes with you in all that you do
My love goes with you in all decisions that you make

Well sometimes we get so tired of the struggle 
when it seems as if there’s no way out 
So caught up in desire, it's so hot there in the fire, 
and you're lost in doubt
 
My love goes with you in all that you do
My love goes with you in all decisions that you make

In every book you're reading and in every glass of water you're drinking
In every breath you're breathing and in every little thought that you're thinking
I hope that you can find a little free time for yourself
Yeah, I hope that you can find a little music after your own heart.
 
I hope that you can find your balance 
between the mystic and mundane
I hope that you can navigate your way 
between the sacred and profane 
Yes I hope that you can find your vision 
between the sunshine and the rain
That you find your truth within and when you do 
it doesn’t cause you too much pain 
 
You know I get so concerned and I wonder how you're gonna make it
If I can't be there for you all the time how you gonna take it
Well then I don’t worry no cause my love is strong
Then I don’t worry no no no my love for you lives on and on and on 

And my love goes with you in all that you do
My loves goes with you in all decisions that you make
My love goes with you everywhere you go
My love goes with you, my love goes with you
