I Need This Old Train To Break Down

Madly by Tristan Prettyman

Dare You to Move by Switchfoot
I know I posted 'Dare You to Move' a couple days ago but I'm posting it again, because, well, this is my blog and I can do what I want. 
This song has taken on a completely new and deeper meaning to me.
As I have mentioned on here, we put our dog down last Saturday.
That afternoon I was cleaning my room and this song came on Pandora.
The phrase, 'I dare you to move, I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor...like today never happened' hit me right to my core.
This past week has been rough to say the least.
Between losing my dog and two friends leaving and work being overwhelming I feel so stripped down.
I just keep listening to this song over and over.
Close my eyes and let it sink in.
I am all about optimism and focusing on the good and always seeing the beauty around you, but I also think there is a time when we need to allow ourselves to break down.
To mourn.
To ponder things and look around.
This week has been that time for me.
And then I will lift myself up off the floor and move like today never happened.
