I really love the song playing on this blog so much in fact that I have a hard time taking it off here. When I first discovered the song Into the Light by Alice Peacock I was in a bad place - emotionally. I know that many of you know exactly how it feels to live your life with the burden of not knowing where you belong. But this song, each and every time I hear it I'm reminded that all the searching I've done, all the paths I've explored trying to find my place, have led me exactly where I need to be - right here right now. It's accepting that you are in the right place that's the hard part. Some say it's the journey and yes that can be hard too but do you ever notice that when you get to the 'right place' it seems camouflaged in the mistakes of our past? People always tell you to 'live in the moment' but I've done that many times and it's not always the right thing to do. Sometimes we live in the wrong moments. We get caught up in what someone says, what they do, the pain in the here and now, that it becomes all we can see, all we can hear, all that we are. Last week I lived in a moment where my s.o. said something that hurt my feelings and I wallowed in that moment far too many hours. Instead of living in the moments where he's been kind to me, where he's been the shoulder that I leaned on - I existed in a moment of weakness. The truth is that life does not exist in one moment - it exists in many. I think the trick is making life exist from one moment to the next.

I miss coming here everyday... :-(
I love that you introduced me to this song, too. It's so incredible and so powerful. Thank you for that and for all your wisdom and so much more!
you are doing great sweetie!
I'm like you though...I will stew on the bad stuff...I'm working on it though...I'm a work in progress I guess you could say.
As for the song. Well you know how much that song has affected my life. Funny thing is, that I was thinking of putting it on my blog this mornig, but said "that's NWC's". Special is an inderstatement. It is the theme song of my life now.
