Or maybe its just my favourite song, I'm not sure. But I love that movement between what is incredibly beautiful and what is slightly sad - it captures my feelings about most important things.annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03284369551966958873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068659764096530244.post-25221794054619227752011-08-08T22:36:20.977-04:002011-08-08T22:36:20.977-04:00Just dropping in to say congratulations for starti...Just dropping in to say congratulations for starting your blog!

You're braver than I, cause I still haven't started. I love your site, and your first post is wonderful. I'm an introvert, so I identified with your feelings about relationships.<br /><br />I don't really have a theme song, but if I had to choose one it would probably be "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" or "Climb Every Mountain."Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458293325369594900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068659764096530244.post-38218144658800077462011-08-08T14:32:23.811-04:002011-08-08T14:32:23.811-04:00Yay, the gang's all here! Thanks for stopping ...Yay, the gang's all here! Thanks for stopping by.<br />I need to learn from you all with your upbeat, inspirational songs.<br /><br />Kate - "Don't Worry, Be Happy" is a great theme song. It's probably a mantra I should incorporate into my daily life ;)<br /><br />Londy - I'm with you - music makes anything better. Thanks for the link. I love that song, with the chorus bringing back childhood memories of Sunday School.<br /><br />Ellen - I love everything REO. And I wouldn't say Stairway to Heaven is a cliche choice. Let's say it's a classic choice.<br /><br />Cat - Gloria Estefan's voice is so rich, and those lyrics are so uplifting. But I can't resist the romance of your current theme song. Sounds like there might be a story behind that??? Somebody in general?? Or a specific somebody??<br /><br />Kelly - I need to think of a theme song for you that sums up those traits. I'll let you know if I come up with something. And thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />Mikki - I have music on anytime I'm NOT writing. I'm distracted by the story that the lyrics are telling while I'm trying to tell a story of my own. <br /><br />While it may be before my time, I know "The Impossible Dream." I love musicals!Ruth Schiffmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02625363295823548969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068659764096530244.post-944015122791940602011-08-08T11:26:46.718-04:002011-08-08T11:26:46.718-04:00Hi Ruth!

Right now, I'm immersing myself in the "Golden Oldies" of the 40's, 50's, and 60's, but I don't think I have a real theme song. If I did have one, it would probably be The Impossible Dream, from the Broadway musical Man of La Mancha, and sung by Richard Kiley.

"Sisters of Mercy" fits the theme, but it's awfully somber... ;-D How about "Don't Worry... Be Happy!"ColoradoKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346665245349520215noreply@blogger.com
