For those who love birds & would enjoy a classical piece that brings a transcendent “happiness” I love “The Lark Ascending” by Vaughn Williams. Quite meditative and stirring…

Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In, by The Fifth Dimension. First performed in the rock-musical “Hair.” Late 60’s. I appreciate that you encourage us to focus on what’s good.

“That’s the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it.” K.C. and the Sunshine Band. 70’s.

All the best to you and yours. Always.

I joke with Gail, also here on Substack, about having my sentimental jukebox on the ready! Like a neural connection between past and present. Thanks for putting a “quarter” of joy in the jukebox this morning.

Love this one, Julie! I have a few songs that go through my mind but the one I hear the most is "In The Garden". Sure, there are others, but this is my favorite.
