"Where Does My Heart Beat Now?"

I have recently gone through a life altering change. My relationship of 5 years has ended. The past few months have been rather difficult to say the least. I've had to go back to work (despite health problems), I've had to find a place to live, and I've had to wrap my head around the fact that at 41 I am once again single. My family (and his) have been incredibly supportive and helpful, still, even though I know this was the right thing to do it doesn't really take away the sting of a broken heart.

When everything you've believed in, worked hard for, and lived for comes crashing down around you it can be difficult to see why it's for the best.

Anyone who knows me will attest that music and singing (along with acting and writing) are a huge part of my life, so I've spent the past few months compiling a list of songs that have helped me through this trying time. Some of the songs have caused me to have a good cry, some have made me angry, some have made me laugh, but they have all been very significant to me in some way. The next intended step in my "Music Therapy" is to scrapbook (another of my undying passions) these songs. My list is pretty long so it might take several books to hold it all, but I'm hoping that it will help me get some closure and the insipration to move on.

My heart will always be on the look out for a home, but until it finds one I will echo the immortal words of Gloria Gaynor ......."I will survive!"
