This song helped me have a much needed cry today...

Be Ok...Ingrid Michaelson



I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today
I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today

I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I just want to feel something today
I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I just want to feel something today

CHORUS:
Open me up and you will see
I'm a gallery of broken hearts
I'm beyond repair, let me be
And give me back my broken parts

I just want to know today, know today, know today
I just want to know something today
I just want to know today, know today, know today
Know that maybe I will be ok

CHORUS

Just give me back my pieces
Just give them back to me please
Just give me back my pieces
And let me hold my broken parts

I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today
I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today

I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I just want to feel something today
I just want to know today, know today, know today
Know that maybe I will be ok
Know that maybe I will be ok
Know that maybe I will be ok

Right around mid afternoon this huge grief came over me. I dont know where it came from, but it consumed me. I tried to sleep it off, and that didnt work. So I started on my to do list for the night. I was side tracked and couldnt concentrate, so I went and visited Ingrid Michaelson's website. I love her. And am excited to see her in concert in November. I wanted to listen to some of her music, and this happen to be the first song I heard. Its like she was singing to me. I sat here and cried, and cried some more. It was a good cry to let out. It needed to be let out. Its amazing what music does for people. How it touches you emotionally, and at times its the only thing that can give you comfort.

Than I was watching an episode of Dog, the bounty hunter. The episode was when Beth said goodbye to her dad and he died. I cried some more watching the last visit she had with him. My heart aches. I miss my dad so much. Im to young to lose him. I wanted more time with him. I needed more time with him.

Accepting the grief, not running from it. Keep moving forward....thats all I can do.
