Today’s Theme Music

“I’ve been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come.”

I love that sentiment. Sometimes I actually have the satisfaction of experiencing it as well. At those times, I think, “Really? With all the world crap happening, and the misfortune being experienced, I’m happy, and thinking about the good things to come.”

Maybe I’m insane or irrationally hopeful. Maybe I’m just an optimist, or perhaps I’m attuned to something else others can’t yet see or feel yet.

Yeah, I’m staying with insane.

Cat Stevens wrote the line I opened with and sang it in 1971 hit, ‘Peace Train’. Cat Stevens converted to Islam a few years later and took the name, Yusuf Islam. Some hold that against him.

I don’t. I enjoy his music and wish him well. ‘Peace Train’ is good theme music to hum as you take on the world today. Let its words and melody lift you up, just a little, this first day of April.
