On My Own ... Much Needed Quiet Time

I was listening to my ipod while preparing lunch for the family today. I will be getting off my 'Sabbatical' on Monday and thus this is quite officially the last weekday lunch that I am going to prepare for a while. If you're wondering what's for lunch .. it's the all time family favourite, Roast Chicken Sandwich.

"On My Own" performed by Traincha came on when I was doing some quiet time while cutting up vegetables at the same time. Traincha heart wrenching rendition of the song made famous by Patti LaBelle & Michael Mcdonald dug up something deep inside. The lyrics are mainly about love lost and separation, which does not mean anything to me except for these lines:

I'm on my own
Why did it end this way
On my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again

There are time when I really feel that I was on my own during the 'Sabbatical'. But the truth is that HE was always there but we just need to have some quiet time on our own so that we can feel HIS presence.
