I needed the heartbreak, to see the blessing.

Recently there has been one thing that has consumed me, my broken heart. All I can do is think of him, miss him, love him. At least the him I thought I knew. I've heard "our song" more times in the last couple weeks than I heard our entire relationship, and for awhile I thought it was a sign or something, like maybe something had finally changed. Thats what I WANTED to believe, well it only took 4 minutes and 43 seconds for me to see that what I WANTED wasn't what I NEEDED. It was in the 4 minutes that my broken heart was shattered. After tears, hoplessness, self pity, and another 50 minutes and 42 seconds on the phone with one of my .Angels. I was able to start realizing why it all had happened, why I've been consumed, and to realize that in that 4 minutes and 43 seconds I had heard what I truly needed to finally move on. To let my heart be put back together, to keep searching. To love again. I get it now, after 8 months of sadness, being lonely, and wondering why, I am able to see the blessing. And I am grateful.

The words that haunt me.

The words, the melody, the memories, the forgotten dreams, the missing boy, and the broken heart. All brought on by one song that I have grown to love and to hate with a fiery passion...



The song that haunts me:





I said, "I wanna touch the earth
I wanna break it in my hands
I wanna grow somethingWild and unruly"
I wanna sleep on the hard ground
In the comfort of your arms
On a pillow of blue bonnets
In a blanket made of stars
Oh it sounds good to me
I say, "Cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can
Into the wild blue
"Set me free oh I pray
Closer to Heaven above and
Closer to you, closer to you
I wanna walk and not run
I wanna skip and not fall
I wanna look at the horizon
And not see a building standing tall
I wanna be the only one
For miles and miles
Except for maybe you
And your simple smile
Oh it sounds good to me
Yes it sounds so good to me
Cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can
Into the wild blue
Set me free oh I pray
Closer to Heaven above and
Closer to you, closer to you
I said, "I wanna touch the earth
I wanna break it in my hands
I wanna grow something
Wild and unruly"
Oh it sounds so good to me
Cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can
Into the wild blue
Set me free oh I pray
Closer to Heaven above and
Closer to you, closer to you
Closer to you
Cowboy take me away
Closer to you

Monday.

First subject;

Heartbreak

One of those feelings that never seem to go away. The one where every single thing left and right will remind you of the person that once loved you as much as you love them. You still love them, but they have let go, given up on you. It's not just a mental feeling, but when it happens you feel this pain right where your heart is. Like your heart is actually breaking, and I believe it actually is.


Enough said. 9 months later and it still hurts... especially this time of year.

Next subject,

Rejection

One step closer to true love.

God willing.

Third subject,

Dating

The modern day battlefield of romance where hearts are won and broken, the not-quite so version of chivalry and wooing, an interview for a lover; the lay down some time-and money and see if you get some candy routine; the progressed game of cat-and-mouse; the human courtship ritual; playing baseball for a home run.

Pointless. Ridiculous. Time consuming. A necessary evil.




Ok.. Enough of that portion of my post.. I believe you get the point of my current mood.

Moving on...


Today was the big day.

I took my baby in to be fixed! dun dun dun.... I don't know who was more traumatized by it.. me, or her!

It may sound ridiculous to all of you out there who have a bf/gf, spouse, kids, whatever! but to me... she is my family and she is my BABY!

I took her in at 8:45, filled out the paperwork and then handed her over... easy enough right? she'd be all mine again in 6 hours and counting.. easy. NOT. She was fine.. until the minute I turned to leave.. then it was jumping, twisting, whining, pulling and begging. Anything she could do to get herself off that leash and out the door with me. Wow, talk about feeling like a TERRIBLE person... especially considering that I've never left her anywhere or with anyone besides at home or with my mom. I teared up a little as I got in the car.

2:45 couldn't come soon enough so I could take my break from work and go get her and take her home. As they brought her out to me I could see she wanted to be excited to see me but was to groggy and sore to do anything about it.

Tonight she is walking around but still SOOO out of it! especially if you know my hyperactive ball of fur! and when she moves to much she whimpers.. heartbreak city! my poor baby.. she hasn't even had food or water for almost 24 hours! Inhumane right? But those are Dr.'s orders.. Don't worry- I splurged and bought the extra pain meds to keep my sissy as comfortable as possible for the next 5 days!


<3 me.
