"Could't have picked a more beautiful & perfect song to start the year with," she tweeted Monday.

This summer has been a rollercoaster for the actress, who asked for privacy immediately after co-star and real-life boyfriend Cory Monteith's death from mixed drug toxicity on July 13.

"Lea is deeply grateful for all the love and support she's received from family, friends, and fans. Since Cory's passing, Lea has been grieving alongside his family and making appropriate arrangements with them," the rep's statement read. "They are supporting each other as they endure this profound loss together. We continue to ask the media to respect the privacy of Lea and Cory's family."

But the actress was also determined to move forward, and insisted that the start of the new season of "Glee" be postponed by only one week.

"She was very adamant that she thought it was best for the cast and crew to get back to together sooner [rather] than later so that mortgages could be paid and people could take care of their families," series creator Ryan Murphy told the website TVLine.com.
