I’ve been too long absent

I’ve been out of town for a week (visiting my parents) and catching up at home. Finally my husband came home last night. He was on a tour of sorts, going to a conference in Brazil (I know!), Chicago, and Michigan. He’s a man in demand.

I was listening to this song the other day and found it really inspirational. I think it’s about a breakup, but parts of it really spoke to me regarding pain. It’s by Lizz Wright – a fantastic alto jazz singer. You can check her out on Amazon, I love their song previews. Here are the lyrics…

Trouble :
Trouble in the air
I don’t want it
But I have to breathe
It´s coming through the door
Behind the shadows that surround me when I sleep
Somehow I know
that I can´t pray this away
I´ll keep my head down and get up on this train
This train

I´m gonna ride this pain like a wave
Lord, make me over I don´t want to b e afraid
And when my time is come and gone
I don´t wanna be the one who can´t let go

What if I get lost
I call out to you and you don´t save me?
The water comes too close
I don´t have the time to give
what you gave to me?
Well, as long as my name don´t change, I´ll be the same
I loved you more than time
Forever can´t take that away
Can´t take that away

Just let me ride this pain like a wave
Lord, make me over I don’t wanna be afraid
And when my time is come and gone
I don´t wanna be the one who can´t let go

There is a river
Running by the train
It ain´t troubled
It´s just laying there, wading in the wind

Just let me ride this pain like a wave
Lord, make me over I don’t wanna be afraid
And when my time is come and gone
I don´t wanna be the one who can´t let go

Let me ride this pain like a wave
Make me over I don’t wanna be afraid
And when my time is come and gone
I don´t wanna be the one who can´t let go
I´ll move on

…I’ll have to give more updates later, to be honest not a lot is going on with me. I have my evaluation appointments at the pain clinic coming up (for my back). I want to stop taking Neurontin b/c of the side effects (fuzzy head, tired) but also because it’s not helping the nerve pain (coming from my back).

But I have so enjoyed having some time with family, and now I’m really glad to have my husband back. I think that’s the longest we’ve ever been apart.
