Very apt, Hope*. xxx
I thought so too, Pussycat.
*hugs*
I love Anne Murray and had never heard that song before. Thanks for sharing it. Question: Daily Prompt? Where do I find it?
Just click on my “daily prompt” link, it’ll take you there. Since WordPress changed some of its stuff, I cant find the Daily Post either, so I have now bookmarked it.:)
*hugs*
Thank you!
Have a great day.
Pleasure
have a lovely day too.
I have a happy thought for you. It’s cold outside but inside there is love and warmth from all the people on WP that follow you and adore you
Thank you Jaz, that does warm my heart.
*hugs*
I love that old song and believe it sums up the news perfectly.
Its does sha’tashari
*hugs*
Cool song.
As for the news – I avoid it like the plague…
I try to stay away from the news now and then but in the long run we have to know whats going on. A deserted Island might be nice
*hugs*
the shit will hit me regardless of if I know where it’s going to come from or not.
Can’t even duck or get an umbrella – it’s that encompassing.
Oh I’m with you on that one… politics and religion can get you so many enemies I try to keep mine to myself…
Yes, I agree with you Bulldog.
*hugs*
I could certainly use a bit of good news. We were just talking this morning about how there might be some benefits to tuning out the news for a while.
I’m feeling the same way, Phil.
*hugs*
If it wasn’t for my msn account, I’d never see the news. I’d loved to have heard the song, but unfortunately, my old lappy freezes on videos, so I’ll have to try and imagine what it’s about.
Aw, pity about the song sarah.
*hugs*

Great song… quite sad really..
It is Lisa.
*hugs*
I know exactly what you mean, Hopestar. Love the song, although it is sad. Hugs.
Me too, it is a song with so much meaning, yet sad.
Thanks ad.
*hugs*
Great song. And I went searching for some good news for you, Hope. I found a treasure of a web site: http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/. Enjoy!
Yay! thank you, Lorna. I’m going to bookmark that site!
*hugs*
Always loved both Anne Murray and the Indigo Girls. Thank you very much!
My pleasure, glad you liked the song.
*hugs*
That works as far as I’m concerned. We need more happy news. (I met a girl who sang the blues, and asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away. – Don McLean: Aemrican Pie)
That line from “American Pie” is just perfect dj.
*hugs*
I found some good news, thought I would share it with you. Check theseeker’s Post-a-Day. http://theseeker57.wordpress.com/2013/01/14/mondays-peace-news-captured-on-video/
There is good news out in the world; it’s just harder to find.
Thank you so much sha’tashari
*hugs*
Thanks Hugs. It’s profoundly sad. It’s hard to look at the sunny-side when you hear it, but it is optimistic too. Hope you are also. Best thoughts from the other side of the globe – Mgert
So true that mg.
Wishing you a lovely day
*hugs*
The news can be such a turn off.. Good news is hard to find, but we must keep looking, Hope.
So we must, adee.
*hugs to you*
Perfect choice! The “If it bleeds it leads” theory has become the entire news cast. I can barely watch it anymore. I would love a news channel that had only good news, there is a lot of good news and I don’t need the police blotter with every robbery and murder going on. If I really need to know about something I will hear about it.
Now that is such a good idea, art. We should have a “Good News, today” channel!
*hugs*
I’ve been thinking about it for years. Nothing but warm, fuzzy stories about kittens, puppies & rainbows and good people, things that uplift the human spirit.
She’s a very good singer.
I don’t think she sings anymore, retired I think – but I love that voice
*hugs*
You always find time to give the best hugs, love the song, it made me smile! Hope you smiled too, and that you are still smiling! God bless and much love always my sister!
Thank you Wendell…you are so kind.
*hugs*
The news is seldom uplifting
Quite right there, Tandy.
*hugs*
well done….
Thank you, Marilyn.
*hugs*
Great song even though good news is scarce Hope
Thanks Optie and yes, very scarce.
*hugs*

Love the song. Love the light you are shining in the face of darkness.
Thank you kozo
*hugs*
It’s certainly not cheating to show the world something that is wrong and what would be better. Personally, it helped me to stop and think about all the wonderful things I have in life and how, even after the stroke, how much better off I am than some. When I think of how I would be now if I couldn’t get help to buy my medications or if I didn’t have a set home to live in…
Yeah, I am thankful and thinkful.
Scott
“thankful and thinkful” – I like that
*hugs*
