Even though  we don’t have kids, it’s always great to see another generation come forth, get married and have children for us to spoil.

Family members are getting married this year and we wish them the utmost joy and happiness, as well as the certainty that they are a match and will help each other through life.

I’m still going off CD’s in my car, which my husband loads.  He has installed a state-of-the-art system in his car that involved taking out the entire trunk, back seat and console and placing it in our living room for a week!

When I do my five minute drives each day right now I’m stuck on Peter, Paul and Mary and sing harmony with them until I get to my errand.  When There Is Love comes on I kind of tear up and wonder what kind of tenth anniversary I can plan.

This is music for the ages.  I ended up with Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Joan Baez and others like Dave Mason who have been my muses over the years.  Of course I love the Big Band era as well, but the 60’s protest songs will endure in terms of music and lyrics.

While no-one would call me religous because I’ve no attachment to any organized faith I do know there is love in the world, and loss, and hunger and crime.  People get together to help one another, or they do not.  I have tried to help local disasters, showing up with needed items and a check and doing long-term volunteering.

And there is love, that tries to keep us all together.  The economy is tough and most of us have had to cut back for the past few years but if you volunteer somewhere, even for a day to plant trees or whatever, you’ll make a difference and feel better for it.

There is love.  Cheers from Dee
