The song is named "Calling all Angels" by Train. It says so much about where I've been during the hard times of my life and where I'm at now. Whenever I'm experiencing rough spots in my life, I ask the angels to help and protect me, and they always come through.
Back in 2009 when I was in Huntsville, Alabama, I went through a terrible time at work. I started working there in the Spring of 2007 and things never were good as it was a "good 'ole boy" environment. It didn't matter how hard anybody worked or how good they did, if you weren't a part of the "good 'ole boy" network, you didn't matter, period.
Huntsville fell upon hard times after President Obama took office and sought to end the Missile Defense Program that I was working on at the time, just as he promised he would do if elected. Things started going to hell in a hand hand basket around Springtime of that year, when folks started getting scared that they were going to lose their jobs. Times like these usually bring out either the best or the worst in people, and in Alabama there was a whole lot more of the "worst" part coming out.
The back biting became unbearable and there was one guy on our team who was eavesdropping on everybody's personal conversations and then going to our manager and telling him what folks were saying. What a hostile working environment! They switched our manager several times within a 4 month time frame and the last one was a total prick! I'm convinced that he hated me before we even met.
All of this mess ended up in my getting a pink slip, which was completely devastating. Up until that time, I had never received a pink slip in my entire working career. It was one of the worst times of my life! My daughter sent me a beautiful Angel Stone to help me get through the crisis. I've posted a picture of an Angel Stone before in one of my other blogs, but here is what it looks like:

Every time that I felt overcome with worry and depression, I got out my Angel Stone and held it, imagining a group of beautiful angels surrounding me to keep away all of the pain and angst. I ended up getting a job within the company with all moving expenses covered as well as a big bonus! Thank God for that and the angels who helped me to get through that terrible time!
Wow, I've never put that experience down on paper or really even spoken aloud about it! I must have needed to get it out once and for all.
Nowadays at work I'm in charge of making sure that a large group of people get a complex task done in a short time span, which is somewhat stressful. I've been asking the angels to help me get through this in one piece.
Funny, this just popped up on my News Feed on Facebook:

| A Sign from the Angels |
I think it must be a sign from the angels!
Here are the lyrics to the song:
I need a sign, to let me know you're here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know, that things are gonna look up
'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup
When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
When you can feel the world shake from the words that are said
And I'm, calling all Angels
And I'm, calling all you Angels
And I won't give up, if you don't give up
I won't give up, if you don't give up
I won't give up, if you don't give up
I won't give up, if you don't give up
I need a sign to let me know you're here
'Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear
I want a reason for the way things have to be
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me
And I'm, calling all Angels
And I'm, calling all you Angels
When children have to play inside, so they don't disappear
While private eyes solve marriage lies 'cause we don't talk for years
And football teams are kissing queens and losing sight of having dreams
In a world where what we want is only what we want until it's ours
And I'm, calling all Angels
And I'm, calling all you Angels
And I'm, calling all Angels
(I won't give up, if you don't give up)
(I won't give up, if you don't give up)
And I'm, calling all you Angels
(I won't give up, if you don't give up)
(I won't give up, if you don't give up)
Calling all you Angels
(I won't give up, if you don't give up)
Calling all you Angels
(I won't give up, if you don't give up)
Calling all you Angels
(I won't give up, if you don't give up)
