This ones just kinda fun. If you could come up with one song that best describes you, which song would it be?
Mine? Hollaback Girl from Gwen Steffani. Know why?? Because I no longer take any crap from dr's, insurance companies, or anybody else. I stand up for myself and I know how to fight!! Grrrr.. LOL

Definitely this song by The Saw Doctors
Sing a Powerful Song
When the troubles of the whole wide world Come knocking on your door And there's problems of a different kind That you've never had before When you've played against a gale force wind And it changes at half time And you feel your strength deserting you And an emptiness inside When there's people that will harm you Though you've done to them no wrong It time to sing , it's time to sing , to sing a powerful song When they want to ruin your province Just turn it into gold When they think our greatest asset Can be mined dug up and sold When the factories are all closing As they are in our home town And your friends are looking out for work That's nowhere to be found When the sprits they need a risn' To be happy proud and strong It time to sing , it's time to sing , to sing a powerful song

She's sun and rain, she's fire and ice A little crazy but it's nice And when she gets mad, you best leave her alone 'Cause she'll rage just like a river Then she'll beg you to forgive her She's every woman that I've ever known.
She's so New York and then L.A. And every town along the way She's every place that I've never been She's makin love on rainy nights She's a stroll through Christmas lights And she's everything I want to do again.
It needs no explanation 'Cause it all makes perfect sense For when it comes down to temptation She's on both sides of the fence.
No it needs no explanation 'Cause it all makes perfect sense When it comes down to temptation She's on both sides of the fence.
She's anything but typical She's so unpredictable Oh but even at her worst she ain't that bad She's as real as real can be And she's every fantasy Lord she's every lover that I've ever had And she's every lover that I've never had

From the girl whose license reads CA RUSHBUM:
"Limelight"
Living on a lighted stage Approaches the unreal For those who think and feel In touch with some reality Beyond the gilded cage
Cast in this unlikely role Ill-equipped to act With insufficient tact One must put up barriers To keep oneself intact
Living in the limelight The universal dream For those who wish to seem Those who wish to be Must put aside the alienation Get on with the fascination The real relation The underlying theme
Living in a fish eye lens Caught in the camera eye I have no heart to lie I can't pretend a stranger Is a long-awaited friend
All the world's indeed a stage And we are merely players Performers and portrayers Each another's audience Outside the gilded cage
- Rush

This is not a song the describes me as much as a song I need to hear on days like today. (It is my gift to anyone else that needs to hear it right now.)
As Bad As It Gets � 1997 Christine Lavin
This is the darkest hour of your longest night you've never been this powerless or prayed this hard for light wish there was something I could do to pull you through but the only one who can handle this now is you
This is as bad as it gets if you can make it through this I'm willing to bet that you will make it through anything the world will throw your way this is as low as you've ever been if you can reach deep down tap the power within I know that you will find the strength to make it through this day
This is the coldest night of your bleakest year it's hard to fight all the forces that have brought you here between the anger and pain amid the losses and gains there's a space if you can find it you will rise again
This is as bad as it gets if you can make it through this I'm willing to bet that you will make it through anything the world will throw your way this is as low as you'll ever be if you can stop for a minute and listen to me I know that you will find the strength to make it through this day
Nothing in your life has prepared you for such a troubled time but you're not one to give up or give in when your life is on the line
This is as bad as it gets if you can make it through this I'm willing to bet that you will make it through anything the world will throw your way this is as low as she goes if you can reach deep down tap the power that flows within you I know that you will find the strength to make it through this day and then I know you will be OK you'll be alright don't give up the fight

Good post Nancy
Back in October when this illness took over my body for my 30th birthday one of the gifts my mom bought me was an Olivia Newton John CD.
It wasnt just any CD, it was one that she wrote about her battle with breast cancer. I cried listening to the CD that day.
Here is one of my favorites:
Stronger then before:
I've survived so many things broken hearts and shattered dreams in every one I found an open door.
I'd miss a step I'd learn to dance come back again with half a chance stronger than before
There were times I couldn't see beyond the blue insided of me a thousand miles away from shore but every moment everyday with every step I find my way stronger than before
I believe in miracles I believe in dreams through the pain I've come to know how far the heart can reach a spark of hope in sorrows place will shine with such amazing grace stronger than before
I belive in miracles I belive in dreams through the pain I've come to know how far my heart can reach a spark of hope in sorrows place will shine with such amazing grace stronger than before
ahhh oh stronger than before [ bah bah ooh ooh yeah stronger than before ] stronger than before
"Stronger Than Before"

mary chapin carpenter - Shelter of Storms
You always had the gift of speed; You'd disappear without a trace. It all depended on the need, And on the pain you could not face. So you would leave the home you'd found, Pack it up without delay. Cut your losses, blow that town, Tomorrow was another day.
All the years and all the miles, They lost track of time. I look back now only once in awhile; My memory just wants to blur the lines. 'Cause you know me, I just can't change. I greet the sun, and find it strange To watch you run For the shelter of storms For the shelter of storms.
Now where are you out in the world Searching for a little grace Searching for a precious pearl Wisdom from some future place. You let me go without a wave I noticed that and nothing more I guess I'm going to my grave Wondering what it all was for.
All the years and all the miles It's so hard keeping track of time Do you think of me every once in awhile When the rain lets up and the sun can shine Just a little peace and quiet for a change I still greet the sun and find it strange To watch you run For the shelter of storms For the shelter of storms.
Go back the years, subtract the miles, And see what's left for you to find All the battles, all the trials, You can't be free till you leave behind Your bitter heart, but you can't change; You curse the sun, and pray for rain, You always run For the shelter of storms, For the shelter of storms.

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted No silent prayer for the faith-departed I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd You're gonna hear my voice When I shout it out loud
Chorus: It's my life It's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just wanna live while I'm alive It's my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground For Tommy and Gina who never backed down Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake Luck ain't even lucky Got to make your own breaks
Chorus: It's my life And it's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just want to live while I'm alive 'Cause it's my life
Better stand tall when they're calling you out Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
Chorus: It's my life And it's now or never 'Cause I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just want to live while I'm alive
Chorus: It's my life And it's now or never 'Cause I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just want to live while I'm alive 'Cause it's my life!
