A vote for the Minions!

 I'm campaigning for voting rights for Minions as I believe they've been woefully disenfranchised and well, I just think that's criminal! Votes for Minions! (Image below is from: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/581949583076282596/)

Everybody needs a best friend

Yesterday was the singer/writer/actor Seth MacFarlane's birthday and this makes me think of one of my favorite songs he wrote called "Everyone Needs a Best Friend". I like the song because I've always liked big band music. I have this dream that one day I'll hold a big concert to raise money for charity. I'd get a bunch of people to perform in it and at some point I'd come out in a fantastic outfit and sing this song. As you can see I haven't worked out all the details yet but I like the idea that the concert could happen someday and it might do some good.  Once I get it all situated I'll spread the word. Anyway, for now, I enclose the song below with much love and best wishes to everyone!

My good thing for the day

 My good thing for today was I was able to talk to my parents and brother and sister over Zoom.  It's something I enjoy doing very much as even though I can't be with them in person, seeing them over video is the next best thing. Plus we were able to laugh together about funny things that happened during the week in the news and in our lives generally. It was lovely to be able to have that time with them. Wherever you are reading this, I hope you always make time to spend with people you love. I send you best wishes and much love always.

Flavor of life

 "If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor." Eleanor Roosevelt 


I like the fact that life isn't really predictable. It's true that sometimes I think that each succeeding day might be the same as the day before but I've found that no day really is the same and that's what makes life fun and worth living. There's always a chance to make things better than they were before, which is very comforting. Wherever you are reading this,  I hope you find something to enjoy each day and to live each day as fully as possible. I send you best wishes and much love always.
