I have always loved this song ... Uplifting ... Inspirational ... Happy ... Hopeful ... But even when they place a song like this in a modern day movie, it catches my attention ... Somewhere Over the Rainbow ... Is there a song from long ago that you like for a special reason? Or just because you have always liked it?
It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...
Why didn't I get a notification in my mail about this post!?!
ReplyDeleteTo tell you the truth, this song also brings back memories to me. It reminds me of my highschool days; there was a school play and I sang that song! Oh, happy days!
Sonja - I am noticing that the "notifications" do not always come through, on my end, as well - Glad you were able to view it ... Yes ... Great Song ... Great Memories!
ReplyDeletePS - Oh, Happy Birthday Weekend!
Thank you Kristine! You are so kind! I was hoping for a cooler weather to wear my new "Sole" :) shirt, but it's still summer here. (sigh)
ReplyDeleteOh, Sonja - I am thinking there will be plenty of time to wear your "Sole Sisters" shirt - We hoping Fall stays around for awhile ... Love this time of the year!
