Day 3 - 1 -- Third Time's the Charm

A new day in a  new year spent doing very little other than watching movies, catching up online and eating, of course <g>. The freshness of the year is invigorating. All those blank calendar pages waiting to be filled with life can be pretty wonder filled -- so much possibility. While wishes shared with friends and family are for all the good things, we all know that there will be other types of events. As long as there are more of the good and less of the other, the year should be remembered with fondness.

Today marks the beginning of the third year of this blog -- and I've only missed one day of posts (and that occurred inadvertently last month). For the most part, I tend not to use the same musical selection more than once, though there are days when this does become a bit tricky. I have used different covers of the same song in hopes that this could count as a new item -- but there are very few of these even. We'll see how the next year unfolds for new songs -- thankfully there is no shortage of these. <smile>

I enjoy writing here - it can help me to recentre at the end of the day. Granted some days may appear as a laundry list of things done, but great insight doesn't always occur daily <grin>.  I appreciate hearing from those of you who read -- never expecting that anyone would really read this, at least not regularly, I do find it intriguing.

I have two selections for today. The first is from a musical friend. His music is thoughtful, laid back and fun all rolled up together. This one is especially significant for today. (from the link below, just click on the top link on the page). The second selection title fits with facing a new year and the lines about cold do sort of fit. The artist had a stunning voice and wrote wonderful songs. He died way too early at the age of 33 in a plane fire while on the ground at the Cincinnati airport. A great loss for music in Canada and everywhere but we are blessed with the prolific recordings he left to us all. Enjoy!

New Years Song -- James Lee Stanley

Take it from Day to Day -- Stan Rogers
