- You Raise Me Up (Josh Groban)

 

You Raise Me Up    by Rolf Lovland & Brendan Graham

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;

When troubles come and my heart burdened be;

Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,

Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;

Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;

But when you come and I am filled with wonder,

Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

You raise me up to more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

You raise me up to more than I can be.

So-o-o-o tired. Slept all weekend. Feels like a flu, only different. But no nausea, and no pain, so it's not so bad, is it?

It's been seven days since Chemo #1 started last Monday, and Timmy's here, lying on my lap, snoring his cute little cat snore. I've never had a cat that snored, but now I do. He's been especially attentive, following me  to wherever I go, jumping up and snuggling for yet another catnap. And so it's one week down, 23 more to go.

Tomorrow is The Big Cut - Liliana and the Film Crew are meeting me at the hospital after one of my doctor's appointments, and we're going to trek down to trendy La Coupe to get my lovely locks shorn off before they start falling all over the floor.

I was dreading it before, but now I think I'm okay with it. And it's gonna be fun wearing some of those wiggies, I can tell you. I've got some very creative ideas for dressing up to go to the hospital on Chemo Days.

I have been having some interesting cravings since the chemo started. I have this hankering for creamy stuff - grilled cheese sandwiches (never eat 'em), vanilla milkshake (would have 'em every day but don't wanna weigh 420 lbs.), and for lunch today, all-dressed pizza with pineapple. Tonight, Debi's coconut milk soup.

So it's either the chemo, or I'm pregnant.

Oh, Lordy, let it be the chemo!

Have a good week,

Love, Wendy
