I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear
Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you
Hush now
I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun
A new day has come
Where it was dark now there's light
Where there was pain now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy

How many days, Lord, have I walked in this wilderness?
A thirsty pilgrim with no water to drink.
And this barren place is making me crazy,
But as I wander on, I am forced to think.
Seems like I have spent so much time searchin'
In a dry and weary land where there's no Truth.
But I think I'm finally realizin',
That my only hope of water is the well that comes from You, So-
Rain down Your love upon me
Pour out Your mercy on me
Please won't You take me to Your springs of life
'Cause I'm dying for deliverance, only You can save me,
I'm waitin', won't You take me,
To Your springs of life.
Oh God, You are my God,
And my spirit seeks You,
But my flesh has failed You time and time again.
And now I've chosen this desert when Your love was waitin',
But Your stubborn child longs to understand-
So I'll not waste another minute searchin'
In a dry and weary land where there's not truth,
Oh, I think I'm finally realizin'
here comes the sun
:: the beatles ::
here comes the sun
here comes the sun
and I say
it’s alright
little darling
it’s been a long cold lonely winter
little darling
it feels like years since it's been here
here comes the sun
here comes the sun
and I say
it’s alright
little darling
the smiles returning to the faces
little darling
it seems like years since it's been here
here comes the sun
here comes the sun
and I say
it’s alright
sun, sun, sun, here it comes
sun, sun, sun, here it comes
sun, sun, sun, here it comes
sun, sun, sun, here it comes
little darling
I see the ice is slowly melting
little darling
it seems like years since it's been clear
here comes the sun
here comes the sun
and I say
it’s alright
here comes the sun
here comes the sun
it’s alright
it’s alright
The Prettiest Thing by Norah Jones
The prettiest thing
I ever did see
Was lightening from the top of a cloud
Moving through the dark a million miles an hour
With somewhere to be
So why does it seem
Like a picture
Hanging up on someone else's wall
Lately I haven't been myself at all
It's heavy on my mind
I'm dreaming again
Like I've always been
And way down low
I still know
The prettiest thing
I ever did see
Was dusty as the handle on the door
Rusty as a nail stuck in the old pine floor
Looks like home to me
I'm dreaming again
Like I've always been
And way down low
I'm thinkin' of the prettiest thing
I have been thinking .... I have been pondering .... and I have been looking back ...
I had a breakdown this time last year ... a situation that I had been building up for years reached a climax and conclusion and the stress of it was too much.
This song by Ginny Owen describes where I was last year ... it is so beautiful ...
Ginny Owens ~ IF YOU WANT ME TO
The pathway is broken
And The signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason why You brought me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If You want me to
Cause I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet
so if all of these trials bring me closer to you
Then I will walk through the fire
If You want me to
It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that's not my home
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'd never go alone
ya oh oh no
So When the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through
And I will go through the valley If You want me to

I have spent the last year resting and healing ... and becoming me again.
I have never enjoyed social events ... family get togethers or meeting new people ... but I have been to my brothers wedding (a BIG family event) and last week, a wedding reception with my cousin, where she was the only person I knew ... now these events, a couple of months ago and a couple of years ago, I would not have been able to cope with and would not have enjoyed them ... dreaded for weeks beforehand and would have been ill after. These last few events though, I felt no stress and I genuinely enjoyed myself ... not just put on a brave face and hated it inside. What is great is that I am not just better from how I would have coped a few months ago or last year, but am better than I have been for years, the stress of the all the years before has lifted and I can start living again!
It has taken time and rest & peace have been what I really needed ... I hope this lasts ... I hope things just get better and better x
Anastacia ~ WELCOME TO MY TRUTH
Sentimental days
In a misty clouded haze
Of a memory that now feels untrue
I used to feel disguised
Now I leave the mask behind
Painting pictures that aren't so blue
The pages I've turned are the lessons I've learned
Somebody bring up the lights I want you to see
(Don't You Feel Sorry For Me)
My life turned around
But I'm still living my dreams
(Yes it's true I've been)
I've been through it all
Hit about a million walls
Welcome to my truth.. I still love
Welcome to my truth.. I still love
Tangled in a web
With a pain hard to forget
That was a time that I've now put to rest
Oh, the pages I've turned are the lessons I've learned
Sentimental days
In a mist of clouded haze
Of a memory that now feels untrue

The Loss of the Journal & Return to Winter Camp ~ John Barry, Dances With Wolves
I am an English girl married to a lovely Welsh man with a couple of little wild boys. We live in a cosy log cabin high up in the Welsh hills with or gentle wolf, crazy dog and cute puppy!
I love all crafts, reading, dreaming, selling pretty things and cups of tea. I am trying to live a more healthy, holistic and green life.
