![]() I happened upon this quotation and thought it'd be perfect to include in this week's post. "The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark." -- Barbara Hall I've given up on making New Year's resolutions. Barbara Hall's inspirational words remind me of the importance of embarking - the journey - the waking up every morning and trying our best - the ups and downs of life, making it even more precious to me. On a similar note, I realize there will be "hits and misses" for you along my musical intermission series. My only wish is that you keep a song (any song, your song, a new song) in your hearts. Enjoy these "J" - songs and join me in 2019 as we keep the music going ... !! Something Old: Anyone who knows Miss Sammie will recognize this song she frequently sang through our home. To this day, it brings me instant smiles and a flood of memories ... :) Something New: Now based in Los Angeles, Mt. Joy is a five-piece indie rock band with roots in Philadelphia. I gave them a chance in 2016 out of loyalty. I'm not sorry and hope you'll enjoy their sound as I do. Something Borrowed: Thanks, dear Thomas! As usual, you have not let me down with your musical recommendations. I know those Big Bad Voodoo Dadddy concerts must have been amazing. Something Blue: Joe Bonamassa plays a mean Blues guitar - some of the finest IMHO. If you're not currently a fan, listen up. And if you are, enjoy ... :) ShoutOutsSee you in the New Year where I'll start up with some "K"-songs...!
Thanks for stopping by and hanging out with me each week. May 2019 be a happy, peaceful and compassionate year for us all. Hugs, mar

It's the journey, not the destination, trying to see life that way these days, thanks for the reminder soul sister. I will enjoy checking out your playlist on my day after Christmas counting my blessings, and eating leftovers (maybe make a turkey soup?) journey today....

Hello Maria - Yes indeed, it is all about the journey. With any luck there are refueling stations at good intervals along the way. I will listen to the music later. Later.

Listening to that first song now and it has my toes tapping. (Smile) Now that it is past Christmas, wishing you a beautiful new year to come.

Hey, Mar! I apologize for being absent. I try to get thru my email notifications from my writer friends during my lunch hours. It's not always possible to do so with the posts that include music because I like to watch and listen to each video. Too often I run out of time before that happens.
