Lousy Day Rescued / Pearl Jam & Divine Intervention!!!

I was really dreading today…
My wife walked out on our 22 year marriage at the end of May,
and even though I REALLY tried to work everything out with her,
she told me a few weeks ago, that she wasn’t coming home.
So, today was the day to drop off the big check to the attorneys & file the paperwork to start the divorce proceedings…
Very emotional for me as I was completely blindsided by the whole thing.
I head over to the Law Office, drop off the check & papers, & JUST get back in the car and the tears start flowing.
This was really rough!!!
I sit in my car for a few minutes, trying to get it together so I can drive back to work and finish the day.
I put my keys in the ignition, start the car & the first thing I hear on the car radio is….
“What use to be a house of cards, has turned into a reservoir.
Saved the tears that were water falling, Let’s go swim tonight, darling!!
How could they know what a lousy day I was having??
This was the perfect song for me at the right time.
By the time Eddie’s singing…
“Cut to later, now you’re strong.
You’ve bled yourself, the wounds are gone
It’s rare then where is nothing wrong.
Survived & you’re amongst the fittest,
Love ain’t love until you give it up!!
I’m singing my heart out through the tears, but now…
“I feel like I
Have a soul that has been saved
I can see the light coming through the clouds in rays!!!
For some reason…This song was on…
Not a CD or on my iPod….
but on the radio at the exact time I needed to hear it.
I don’t know why or how, but this SONG really helped me get through one of the roughest days of my life!!!
Thank you Pearl Jam for turning my day around…
I am truly,
RIDING HIGH AMONGST THE WAVES!!!! :ugeek:

I'm so fortunate to have this community to share my thoughts & problems with.
It's been a rough couple of months, but I'm getting better each day.
