Peace, Love, and Understanding

Greetings my friends. Well……here I go again……another “jolt” of inspiration has struck me this morning…..and the thoughts, ideas, and their respective connections all started bouncing around in my brain. Typically, what happens to me is those thoughts turn into words….and those words ( and associated message ) start getting typed…..and ultimately “cry out” to be shared. Today, the inspiration has come from an old high school friend who posted a video on her Facebook site. I have neither seen nor spoken to this person in over 25 years, but today her message was the “grease” I needed to get me wheels in motion. How cool is that?? She posted an old video of the Elvis Costello’s song, “Peace, Love, and Understanding”. This is one of my favorite songs of all-time, but this version is particularly special in light of the fact that Elvis is joined by Nick Lowe…..who actually wrote the song. The song has an incredible message….especially today…..when our economy is struggling so badly…....
