OPTIMISM!
Optimism by Lady Harmony is my Cup of Tea today!
The world is filled with so many negative things: rising suicide rates among young people. My three sons have lost four friends to suicide in the last two years.
There’s growing homelessness in Los Angeles, although it’s gotten so much better under Queen Karen Bass’ reign!
The divide between the Haves and the Have Nots is growing wider and wider and no one seems to care.
There’s divisiveness in every corner of our lives, and on Los Angeles freeways, drivers aggressively cut you off and drive dangerously at high speeds.
When I walk in the mornings, no one says good mornings anymore, or peers into the stroller when I’m pushing my grand babies to sneak a glance at the baby.
We’re exposed to so much negativity these days that we must be intentional about replenishing our souls with positivity and sharing and receiving love. We must take care of ourselves.
So, today, I’m sharing an uplifting song.

Yesterday, I jogged — yes jogged:) — to it, and I’m about to jog to it again today. It makes me feel amazing, and I pray that it does the same for you.
Song writers are creative geniuses and Optimism’s lyrics are a poem. I actually had to listen to the song and write the lyrics down — you can thank me later. Haha. So, it’s cryptic and incomplete. But, I wanted you to see how beautiful they are:
The rain keeps falling and
The sun keeps shining
The grass keeps growing and
The moon keeps rising
The wind keeps blowing and
The world keeps going around!
Around, Around, Around
The rain keeps falling and
The sun keeps shining
The grass keeps growing and
The moon keeps rising
The wind keeps blowing and
The world keeps going around!
Around, Around, Around
Sitting down… on the bed to see what the day brings,
You get pressure on mind
Feeling so confined
You can stress all day
You can worry all night
But I ain’t never seen worry ever change a thing
Tell yourself I’m going to let it go
My life is more than…just…
I’m not going to get caught up in the struggle.
I’m keep shining
I’m keep growing
I’m keep rising
I’m going to keep going
Repeat!
Keep the Faith!
