"A Thousand Beautiful Things" by Annie Lennox

A most wonderful song from an incredible album entitled "Bare", telling the story of all the phases a woman goes through in ending a relationship. This song is the first on the album and actually the last of the stages of a break-up, recovery and gratitude at feeling alive again. I had the great privilege of watching her perform this song on some morning show years ago when I was on maternity leave with my son. I've always really admired her, and her performance and the interview afterwards floored me. She said the album was titled "Bare" because these songs were all intensely personal. And it has SO helped me so many times!
Other songs include "Honestly", "Bitter Pill' and "Erased" (one of my very favorites). Hearing someone else describe what you are feeling and hearing how they express it has been very empowering for me, helping me remember who I am and what an awesome, giving, nurturing person I am. And I deserve to be cherished as I cherish the significant other in my life (when I have one).
If dudes in my life only knew, once I pull out this cd, you are history, pal. Been listening to this a lot lately. :)
