Breathing

by Lifehouse

I'm finding my way back to sanity, again
Though I don't really know what
I am gonna do when I get there
Take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back in to the arms of grace

'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be

I am looking past the shadows
Of my mind into the truth and
I'm trying to identify
The voices in my head
God, which one's you?
Let me feel one more time
What it feels like to feel
And break these calluses off of me


One more time

'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside your door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be

'Cause I don't want a thing from you
Bet you're tired of me waiting
For the scraps to fall
Off your table to the ground

I just want to be here now

'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside your door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be

I've Got Nothing To Say



Those presents that totally don't match are so not mine!!!




I wish that I had something to say. I don't. I'm kind of blah these days.

Since I pinched the nerve in my back my life has slowed down quite a bit. I've missed a ton of church and have really just gone to work and then right back to laying on the couch or in the bed. That opens the door for apathy which opens the door for depression. Maybe that is why people with chronic pain tend to experience depression. When you're in pain it is all you think about. Everything else just fades away.

The good news is that it is slowly getting better. I originally read that you should give a herniated disc 6-12 weeks before considering surgery....so good news, it's been six weeks and I'm beginning to see a reduction in pain. Hooray!

Seriously, could this post be less interesting??

I'm considering dating.....not sure how since I seldom go anywhere that I would meet someone, online maybe....don't know. But it will be two years in April since I took my dating sabbatical and since I am quickly getting older, well you know. I am healthier than I have ever been mentally and emotionally, am I ready to jump back into the real world yet, though, not sure.

OK I give up on having anything interesting to say. Sorry. At least there are a couple cute pictures, right?
