The Living Proof

I know I may sound corny with this, but I don't care....:)  I am sitting at my desk, on day 18 of NO vicodin and this amazing song comes on and it totally describes how my journey has been so far.  Anyone looking for a mental boast should look up this song and just listen.  It may be just what you need to hear right now...at least it was for me.
The Living Proof- Mary J Blige

GREAT song, music moves us in a way that other things can't.  Music has helped me through many a rough time in my life - it's like a photo album - I hear a song now that helped me through something from 20 years ago and I REALIZE how much I've grown and how that song represents something very different to me now 20 years later.  You are doing great girl!
