You may or may not have noticed, but last week was a little rough on me.
When things aren’t going well for me, I turn to two things. Prayer and music. Like Hanson sings…
If you can’t get through it, listen to it.
Maybe you know this, maybe you don’t… but I really.. really.. really.. really.. reallllllllyyyyyy love John Mayer. Oh so bad. One of my FAVORITE songs of his is “Heart of Life.”
“No, it won’t all go the way it should. But I know the heart of life is good.”
This past week, I have been overwhelmed with phone calls out of nowhere, unexpected letters in the mail, “thinking of you” text messages and smiling faces.
In other words, and to reference the song,
the circle of my friends defended the silver lining.
Every phone call, text, letter, picture.. I thought, “and YOU are a silver lining defender….” each time.
It was as if people circled around me, linked arms, and all decided to help me remember that what I was feeling internally did not affect the reality of the love being thrown at me externally.
I cherished it all in my heart, carefully added it to a list, and reminded myself every day, every hour, every moment that I am surrounded by more love than my heart could stand {as John Mayer also sings}.
Thank you. For being silver lining defenders.
and for loving me.
1). I love the Hanson quote…that is my life :). 2). I LOVE the John Mayer song. I listened to it about 5 times before I opened up my iTunes and decided it was a John Mayer kind of day. 3). I am so thankful for the people in your life who are standing in the gap.
1. ME TOO… i’ve thought that maybe if i ever got a tattoo, that might be it.
2. me too… so bad. it’s always john mayer day… he’s so best.
3. me too. or three, i guess 🙂
