The papers and news bring non-stop horrors, worries, and looming dangers on the horizon. The weather’s been terrible! Cold, rainy or snowy, and it’s past Tax Day. Our house remains on the market which means more cleaning and forced departures on demand. Luckily Honey Girl isn’t shedding too bad yet… it could be worse!
And on a lighter note, despite being in “withdrawal” according to the pharmaceutical industry, off two hormones I was prescribed for over ten years and taking only 10 mg. of an anti-depressant I was prescribed for all that time, I feel fine.
In fact, I feel great again. That hip problem I mentioned–vanished! (Thanks T’ai chi.) Alle ist gut.
Spring really is here now, and I for one am just grateful to be alive.
I’m also happy to see Sarah Vaughan on postage stamps these days. Rich used to play her records for me, years ago on Ravenna Ave in Seattle, and it was very romantic and sophisticated. Here’s one of my favorite Sarah Vaughan songs, “I Love You” (click below, under the lyrics):
I love you
Hums the April breeze
I love you
Echo the hills
I love you
The golden dawn agrees
As once more she sees
Daffodils
It’s spring again
And birds on the wing again
Start to sing again
The old melody
I love you
That’s the song of songs
And it all belongs
To you and me
It’s spring again
And birds on the wing again
Start to sing again
The old melody
I love you
That’s the song of songs
And it all belongs
To you and me
