Sometimes You Just Gotta
Sometimes you just gotta take a nap. That’s all there is to it.

Summer Songs
Summer is here, and that makes me Happy! I LOVE summer.
Even at my age (middle age? late middle age? okay, okay EXTREMELY LATE middle age–you really didn’t have to push it that far), I still get a THRILL thinking about the Summer Months. I’m not sure why exactly. Maybe because, to me, summer always seems to be brimming over with possibility, with adventure, with travel, with cookouts, with swimming. With solving mysteries (The Hardy Boys–I read them all one summer–okay, also Trixie Belden). With extended visits with out-of-state family. With homemade ice cream. With camp. With the 4th of July.
And with cool songs. Here are a few of my favorite ones about summer:
“Summertime” sung by Lena Horne:
*
“Crazy Days of Summer” sung by Nate King Cole:
*
“A Summer Song” sung by Chad and Jeremy:
*
“Our Last Summer” from the movie Mama Mia:
*
Same song by the masters, Abba:

Do you have favorite summer songs?
Joyful Summer 2013!

A Priceless Truth

(From Abraham-Hicks Publications)
Yes! I DO have control over my thoughts. And since I do, I choose to think about that which is joyful, healthy, encouraging, solution-oriented. I think GOOD. The more I think good, the more I see good.
