I kinda sorta ranaway for the past week and a half. I was (and still am kinda) in a royal funk. I was in a worse funk at first which resulted in me deleting all my prior blog entries. In addition, I've somewhat posted on the message board - not my usual self.

I can't explain all what I've been going through as it would take up way to much space and bore everyone to tears, including ME. As an end result, I have adopted a song as my theme song - Martina McBride's "Anyway". I'm trying to live by the words of the song:

You can spend your whole life building,

Something from nothing

One storm can come and blow it all away, (The storm for me was the stroke)

Build it anyway

You can chase a dream (The dream is my recovery)

That seems so out of reach

And you know it might not ever come your way

Dream it anyway

Chorus

God is great, but sometimes life ain't good

And when I pray

It doesn't always turn out like I think it should

But I do it anyway,

I do it anyway

This world's gone crazy

And it's hard to believe

That tomorrow will be better than today

Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all your heart,

For all the right reasons,

And in a moment they can choose to walk away

Love 'em anyway

(Repeat Chorus)

God is great, but sometimes life ain't good (God does things in HIS time, HIS way and says NO at times)

And when I pray

It doesn't always turn out like I think it should

But I do it anyway,

I do it anyway

You can pour your soul out singing

A song you believe in

That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang

Sing it anyway,

Yeah sing it anyway

I sing, I dream, I love

Anyway
