Neil Diamond | My New Life @ 51

Thought for the day …..

Good Morning and Welcome to Tuesday the 19th day of January, 2016.

It is a Tuesday morning and I am listening to some tunes as I get ready this morning.

There is something about listening to music to get you in the rhythm for the day.

I bought some singles from iTunes on the weekend and transferred them to my iPOD and have been enjoying them.

Some of the songs are:

Honey, I’m good …… Andy Grammer (listening to it now, has a good beat – I sound like my Grandma).

Hello ….. Adele (of course, I love her)

The Sound of Silence ……. (Disturbed – remake of an old classic)

Heart of Gold …… Neil Young (always must have a Neil Young song on your iPOD)

Have You Ever Seen the Rain ……. Creedence Clearwater Revival (just because I can and I love it)

More than a Feeling ….. Boston (another classic)

Story of My Life ….. One Direction ( I like the words and really enjoy listening to these young guys – I get what the young ones see in them)

Blown Away and Before He Cheats ….. Carrie Underwood (because she is so talented and I like to mix up the genres)

Halo …… Beyonce (why not, she has a good voice)

Like I Am Going to Lose You ….. Meghan Trainor featuring John Legend (now that man can sing, love him)

Now I have over 100 songs on my iPOD ranging from Rihanna to Katy Perry. Neil Diamond to Sam Smith. Taylor Swift to Maroon 5.

Miss Christina A. and Blake Shelton (have to have them)…. love their duet.

Basically any song that I love …… nice to have a variety.

Listening to “More than a Feeling” right now ……

Music is good for us and we should listen to more.

I guess that is what everyone is doing with all of the different types of buds in their ears these days.

Now to finish off before I leave …. Miss Carrie Underwood.

She has such a great voice.

I hope that you enjoy some music today …..

Will get you excited about your day …..

Put something on with good words and a beat and get on with your day.

Special Hello to: my fellow human beings …. Hello ….

Always, Carol and Alvin

Just for fun……

This has been a fun day. My neighbour Sonja was over for coffee, and a visit earlier in the day. We always have such great fun chatting up a storm. Catching up, mostly. She is one busy young lady. But I just love her. She is truly a beautiful human being. Alvin was so excited when he saw her coming up the sidewalk. I thought that he was going to shake his hind end right off. LOL. That is my boy – he gets super excited when company arrives. I get just as excited but I do not shake my “hind” end. Now wouldn’t that be a sight. LOL.

Later this afternoon we are going over to Amanda, Steven, Elton & Penny’s house for supper. So that will be the perfect way to end this marvellous day. The sun is shining and it is 15 degrees outside. How’s that for an Easter weekend? AWESOME, AMAZING, I would say. So I thought that I would like to put some more fun stuff on my blog today as yesterday postings were a tad on the serious side. I just had one of those days …… but that is okay. I was typing, writing and listening to Neil Diamond (I TUNES). I listened to all of the songs that I had copied from a cd that I had purchased. Now they are on my computer and I can listen to them anytime. I love so many of his songs: “Walk on Water” is one of my FAVS. Soolaimon, Mr Bojangles, Brother Love’s Travelling Salvation Show, Sweet Caroline, Solitary Man ….. and the list goes on. So I cranked up the volume and went to writing and inputting some poems & possible song lyrics on my BLOG. Alvin kept wandering from room to room. I do not think that he appreciated the volume. Or perhaps it could have been the fact that I was “singing” along with Neil. I had the window open as well to let in the fresh spring air so the neighbours got a free show. LOL.

Back to today. I am going to post miscellaneous fun photos and just put a “funny” caption to each one.

For your viewing pleasure.
