I sing because I'm happy




After a fairly stormy two weeks

I've decided

it's time to dust myself down

and get on with life.

Tonight when I got in from work,

hot,

sweaty and cranky,

oh yea~ cranky.... :)

I decided I needed a glass of wine

and a large one at that.

I  decided to sing to myself in my

best gospel voice

( as loud as I could.)

It's no bad thing we live in a detached house. :)

Crank up the volume,

I thought.

And that's exactly what I did.

Singing

HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW!

AND I KNOW HE WATCHES ME!

( repeat at least 17 times)

I SING BECAUSE I'M HAPPY!

I SING BECAUSE I'M FREE!

After several choruses of this,

I felt so much better.

Sometimes,

no one does it as well as Mahalia Jackson.

It's important to listen to her

and give my kids a laugh through my kitchen wall.


Happy Thursday, dears.

A sound of birds singing

 It's early.  And almost a year since I was here. I hear a sound of birds singing  outside my window and a dog barking down the street. ...
