These days,
the pretty fabrics flowing through my fingers are needed more than ever to
help make me feel calm and happy.
When I typed "these days"
this lyric popped unbidden into my head ...
"Well, I'll keep on movin', movin' on
Things are bound to be improving these days
One of these days"
Things are bound to be improving these days
One of these days"
Want to play name that song?
This is not a happy upbeat song,
written by a singer/songwriter when he was 16,
who was not always a happy man.
But it holds on to a seed of better times in the future.
I am planting and watering that seed and hoping it will grow.
It is "I Like Thursday."
where we bloggers celebrate the good in our lives,
things that have made us smile,
our pets,
our gardens,
our creative efforts,
all the small things that bring us joy.
I have much in my life that brings me joy
and for this I am very thankful.
It is more difficult these days to celebrate them when so many are suffering.
I took a sip of my coffee and put on my fleece and went out in my yard
to look for blooms.
I got this photo of the buds on my forsythia ready to burst open
with the morning sun just starting to shine over my neighbor's fence.
It is still a bit misty in the morning dew.
I was surprised I caught the sun's rays and the colors in the mist.
It lit my heart.
I have hope.
May you be well and touched by hope today.
The song is
which reminds me not to forget to tell all the people in my life
that I love them everyday.

Update:
I did not know this when I posted his song this morning.
Jackson Browne, 71, pre-released a new song today ...
"A Little Too Soon to Say" by Jackson Browne
... recorded before he tested positive for Covoid-19.
"I want to know if you're okay.
I want to think it's going to be alright.
It's just a little soon to say."
... Jackson Browne, "A Little Too Soon to Say"
I am hopeful.
