In reply to Patricia Osten. That's funny, Patricia! I hope you don't get too tired of "Doe, a deer, a female deer . . ." It's amazing how those songs and memories are so connected. Be well.

I loved how you connected those songs to the present moment. I did not see that coming when I started reading the blog post and I love to be surprised!

“Sixteen tons” happens to be one of my favorite songs to sing when David and I are on a long car trip and singing to each other. But if you know all the lyrics, you know that it really is not appropriate for children.

I appreciated the link to five positive truths as well. I generally don’t pray for G-d to change things in the world (sometimes I can’t help but do so!), I mostly pray for strength to control my own responses and stay positive, constructive, creative, and loving. I’m blessed to get good answers to these prayers, sometimes.

Oh my gosh!!!! I’m not the only one who remembers these 1950’s tunes. I still hum “Whistle a happy tune” on occasion. At Christmas I sang(said) it to my 6 year old grandson who is sometimes fearful of things and people who are new. Don’t know if it helped or not. By the way, the “new” school song they learn in music class is the Sound of Music scale song. Heard it around 100 times over the holidays. Thanks for the memory…..
