Better Days - GooGoo Dolls

Posted by Marie Winters Adams at 7:35 PM

Yep, that's the song for today.  'Better days by The Goo Goo Dolls'

'You ask me what I want I this year, I'll try to make this kind and clear,
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days'.........

   ' So take these words and sing out loud -'cause everyone's forgiven now!"
   ' Cause tonight's the night the world begins again.

Those are some of the words in the song. Yes, I hope this planet has some better days.

I felt like today was one of those better days for me - just because I got the chance to walk part way around the river again in Wenatchee. It was a beautiful Fall day. I'm posting some of the pictures that I took on my I -phone. I know they don't do it justice, but you get the idea...

This is a little stream that I walk by that flows into the river. Isn't it lovely?!

I just can't tell you how wonderful I feel on this walk. Or wait! Yes, I guess I always do say how wonderful it is, don't I?? Jay, my husband, gets tired of hearing it. But I do feel like a more peaceful person - just because I'm able to do this. I will miss it this winter. The days are getting colder and I know I don't have many more chances left -on going to Wenatchee for my walk.

Well, I guess that's all I have to say about that. (Forrest Gump)

To laugh often and love much

To laugh often and love much--
To win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children--
To earn the honest approbation of critics and endure the betrayal of false friends--
To appreciate the beauty --
To find the best in others--
To give of one's self--
To leave the world a little better whether by a garden patch...a healthy child...or a redeemed social condition--
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sang with exultation--
To know even one life has breathed a little easier, because you have lived--
this is success.

Marianne Williamson

I'm a fan of Marianne Williamson. Here's a quote from her:

Regardless of how dark things get, there is light that will ultimately follow the darkness. For that is guaranteed by God. What lies in our hands -- what is completely up to us as beings of free will -- is how long the night will last and how quickly the light will get here. Many people on this earth have cast great light, and now is a moment when all of us must. At a time of war, let's cultivate peace. At a time of hate, let's cultivate love. At a time of hopelessness, let's cultivate hope.
