Good evening everyone !
Enjoyed a nice day today ...... first went out for lunch ... went to a raw bar and had a couple of seabreezes and some killer shrimp and cocktail sauce ...... then went down to the beach for awhile and watched all the boats cruising around (in Old Saybrook Lars!)
and capped it off with a stop at the ice cream parlor
Steph, while I'm a fan of country like you (when is Brooks and Dunn by the way???

) I agree that it can hit you hard ....
here's one from Trace Adkins that did me in last summer after the end of a 5 year relationship
Help Me Understand
Once in a lifetime
You'll open up your heart
Maybe once in your lifetime
You'll swear to never be apart
You think your love's on solid ground
Then out of the blue, it all comes tumblin' down
Who's gonna hold me tonight
When I'm feeling lonely
Who's gonna show me the light
'Cause I need to know
With all the things we've go
How can love just stop
Tell Me
Somebody help me understand
And my picture in your locket
What will you do with it now
All our friends and all our memories
Tell me how we sort them out
What's yours is yours
What's mine is mine
Is that all that's left
After all this time
Who's gonna hold me tonight
When I'm feeling lonely
Who's gonna show me the light
'Cause I need to know
With all the things we've go
How can love just stop
Tell Me
Somebody help me understand
Help me understand
Why I'm not part of our plan
And you don't need me anymore
Help me understand
Why I still wanna be where you are
Even though I know in my hear
You don't love me anymore
Who's gonna hold me tonight
When I'm feeling lonely
Who's gonna show me the light
'Cause I need to know
With all the things we've go
How can love just stop
Tell Me
Somebody help me understand
Well a year has gone by and he wants to get back into the picture ... guess he's realized how wonderful I really am

...... so we've gotton together a few times ... I think I'm a lot stronger now and have my eyes wide open and just hope I won't do anything stupid....for now I'm just going w/ the flow , trying to communicate better and see if we can mesh again .....but the time will come to talk about where this is leading and if it won't be resulting in some type of commitment, that's not what I want ..... so anyway, now there's a new song on the radio that is also hitting close to home ... I swear they must be following me around
Stay Gone
Ive found piece of mind, feeling good again
Im on the other side, back among the living
All my tears have been cried
And I can finally say
Baby baby stay
Stay right where you are
I like it this way
Its good for my heart
I havent felt like this
In God knows how long
I know everythings gonna be ok
If you just stay
Gone
I still love you and I will forever
But we cant hide the truth, we know each other better
When we try to make it work
We both end up hurt
Baby baby stay
Stay right where you are
I like it this way
Its good for my heart
I havent felt like this
In God knows how long
I know everythings gonna be ok
If you just stay
Gone
When we try to make it work
We both end up hurt
Love aint supposed to be that way
Baby baby stay
Stay right where you are
I like it this way
Its good for my heart
I havent felt like this
In God knows how long
I know everythings gonna be ok
If you just stay
Gone
So I don't know what's going to happen yet .... keep your fingers crossed for me that I'll end up doing the right thing ..... whew - guess I'm gone w/ my babbling for now - talk to ya later !
