There’s lots of good news out there! Polling looks better for President Biden! tRump is sleeping in the courtroom! And he is IN a courtroom.
And there are bad things that did not happen! Gee, last weekend it looked as if things were getting much, much worse in the Middle East! (Note: there were some bombs last night. That’s not good — but the Biden admin is working to deescalate.) The Senate dispensed with the stupid Mayorkas impeachment.
But sometimes it’s hard to feel it, to recognize it. Partly because we all have some PTSD, and partly because too much of the media is droning on and on about the former guy.
Maybe we just need soundtracks to lift us up.
Please share what tunes you listen to in order to improve your mood. Here’s mine. Perhaps hokey, but apt.
My grandkid reported seeing this on a sign: “I was addicted to the hokey-pokey, but I turned myself around.”
Come on in, dear gnusies, and find out what the good guys are doing! And learn how the bad guys are finding out!

No one here is naïve; we are aware of the many who are fighting to destroy our country. Some of us expected it: the cheating, the lying, the chaos, and yes, even the attempts to cling to power despite the clear will of the people. But we are here to read the efforts and the positive results of those (including us and our fellow gnus) who are working so hard to save our country from those very bad people. We are furious with them for what they are doing and we are letting them know. Remember:
- There are more of us than there are of them.
- They are terrified when we organize. THERE IS LOTS OF EVIDENCE THAT THEY ARE TERRIFIED!
- They want us to be demoralized. The best way to keep up your spirits is to fight. So, take the time to recharge your batteries, but find ways to contribute to the well-being of our country and our world.
- Biden as President!
Biden, Harris and their administration have been hard at work. Here are the last week’s posts at the White House briefing room.
I so agree! Everyone’s cheer-up, happy music is so personal but powerful. I love Pharrell Williams. I have a playlist that works for me on those down days, and they get me going!. Mine are old, but would love some more recent recommendations. Here are some of mine: Here Comes the Sun—Beatles; You’ll Never Walk Alone—Marcus Mumford; Stand by Me—Ben E. King; Turn, Turn, Turn— The Byrds; Do You Believe in Magic?—Lovin’ Spoonful; Dance to the Music—Sly & the Family Tone; Out on the Floor—Dobie Gray; Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho—Mahalia Jackson; and almost any of the frenetic songs by Jacque Brel (Marathon, Madeline, Brussels) Enough! Please share your happy music!
