Well I was unable to post the version I wanted to. The one above is a rough cut from the Beatles Anthology series. After this one is an early version of the song completed. Since I couldn't post it, here is the link:

Yesterday I had an idea what I was going to write about. Then the Oldtimers hit me and I can't recall what it was. Looking at the calendar, it's mid week and mid month already. Already this year is going fast. The skeptics say "What do you mean? It's only January?" Well it seems it was just New Year's yesterday. Incredible how time slips away and before you know it you're considered a senior citizen. I guess that's why we walk down memory lane....

It's been a wild roller coaster ride here with the weather. There was a pretty big storm here yesterday. Actually the storm has taken up much of the eastern part of the country. Well we didn't get all the rain that was predicted but wow the winds were awful Especially overnight. When I woke up today I realized my home had been uprooted and is now in Kansas. Auntie Em was right outside too. Just kidding! We broke a record. 70 degrees yesterday. Early this morning, 35 degrees. Go figure!
I saw some sad news yesterday. The passing of the drummer/percussionist of one of my all time favorite groups, Rush. Neil Peart was 67 and had been battling brain cancer for a number of years. No one knew that until yesterday. He also wrote the lyrics for all of Rush's songs. This morning on Deep Tracks Satellite radio they were playing a tribute of their songs. This one is one of my favorites that they played....RIP....

For a long time now I've been using the day and date to title my posts. Like this one. It's not only Monday but it's the first Monday of the year. You know what means? Lots of Mondays to go! Since I retired every day is Saturday. Even today lol.
My last post was a little of a downer. I guess after Christmas and all that holiday spirit filled with hope reality set in. I hardly watch the news anymore but I can't help but to see what is going on when I get online. My browsers homepage is Yahoo. Plenty of downer stuff on it. Then there's the other nonsense stuff. It seems now all these older celebrities especially the women are using twitter and other photo posting sites to post their latest pictures wearing just a bikini or not so much of anything to show that at age they are the bomb. Is this what our society has become? I wonder.
Still the other part of the news is how so many are offended by what someone else says. In my mind if you're offended scroll to the next article. One thing I said in my last post was something like this, seems our crazy world just gets crazier everyday.....

As every new year begins we all hope for a better year. Just a few days into this year and hope has already vanished. Now we are at war with Iran. Though not officially declared, nonetheless we are at war. History repeats itself, humans never learn. The last time an assassination was carried out like this, it lead to World War One. Go figure....
California has had some awful fires but the fires in Australia are 10 times worse. I don't know how they will survive.
And we still have those who don't believe in Global warming. I guess the big debate is if what humans have done have had an effect on it. Just a few days ago in Australia they recorded a record breaking temperature of 122 degrees. Can you imagine that?
Still politics have divided our country enough that friends turn on friends. Family turns on family. Wasn't that an old plan of our enemies to make this happen?
Well sorry for such a downer of a post but this crazy world seems to get just a little crazier everyday...

Here we've come around again. The last day of 2019, a new year on the horizon. It has been a year of changes. Rediscovering who I am. I thank my family and friends and the grief counselor for moving me forward. Plus my friends here in this space. It takes time like we say "one day at a time". I've made a lot of progress but still have more to go. Let's make 2020 the best year ever. A song for you to shine hope on the coming year.......

It's a long time since I wrote anything here. I guess all the thoughts I've been thinking about just didn't want to be typed out. This is a long spell without writing considering I was trying to keep to a once a week schedule. A year has come and gone and here's another holiday without my lady. It's somewhat easier than a year ago. So I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. No matter what happens in our lives, still life is something to be thankful for. So once again I will spend this afternoon with my step daughter and the grands. Always a beautiful thing...
