Cassy, that was far from being boring. I thank you for sharing such a
beautiful story. You mentioned "Down to You" as one of the songs that
motivated you to get on with life. I played that song quite a bit yesterday.
After several months dealing with the separation from my ex, I just found out
from the veterinarian neurologist that my little yorkie has GME
(Granulomatous Meningoencephalitis). She has lesions on the cerebral part of
her brain, which cause her to lose her balance. The cause is unknown, and it
is terminal. I am putting her on high doses of steroids to help her out, but
at least the doctor has assured me she is not in any pain.
I was so sad yesterday and last night, and I listened to "Down to You" over
and over. I was mostly focusing on the lines:
"Everything comes and goes
Pleasure moves on too early
And trouble leaves too slow
Just when you're thinking
You've finally got it made
Bad news comes knocking
At your garden gate"
I thought shit, here I've come such a long way in dealing with my break up
and the powers that be have just thrown some more shit at me. Today I'm
focusing on what you did Cassy............"It all comes down to You". I'm
not going to wallow in sadness. I'm going to enjoy my little Maxine everyday
while I still have her. It *all* does come down to me! Who knows? Miracles
can happen.
Thanks again for sharing your story and your life. That's why this list is
so important to me.
Have a nice weekend everyone!
Jimmy
