Celebrating Elton John

It’s the singer, songwriter, and pianist Elton John’s birthday today. So I’m sharing one of the songs he’s famous for called “Your Song”. Hearing that song always makes me smile so I’m also sharing it here in the hope it has the same effect on others. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always. You can listen to the song here. 

There is nothing like a dream

Celebrating Stephen Sondheim

 The composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim was born today in 1930. To celebrate this day I’m sharing a compilation of 2 songs I really like called “Children Will Listen” and “Not While I’m Around”. I like the song because they’re both about people taking care of each other.  Wherever you are reading this, even if these songs aren’t your thing, I hope you have many people in your life that show you that you are loved and I also hope that you are able to show love to people in return. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.  You can listen to the song here. 

On joy

“Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.”-Jean Paul

Wherever you are reading this, I hope that you have many moments of joy in your life and that you can enjoy them for however long or short they are. I send best wishes and much love to everyone now and always. 

A failure is not always a mistake

“A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.” -B. F. Skinner

Wherever you are reading this, if there is something you are working towards, I hope you are able to reach your goal and I wish you every success. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.

Three good things about today

 In continuation of my quest to find 3 good things in each day, here are 3 good things that happened in my day today. 

• I talked with a good friend and made plans to have dinner with them soon as it’s always nice to have something to look forward to.
• I took a walk and it felt good to be outside.
• I was able to meet with some friends over Zoom and it always makes me happy to see them.

Wherever you are reading this, I hope you can find good things in each of your days. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.
