There is so much wisdom packed into that line. And the older we get the even more wise it seems.

Bud thanks you for the reminder -- Janice never forgets it! smile

I wish we could add to what floyd said as it is so articulately stated and spot on.

Every spring I (Bud) walk through our forests and marvel at the rebirth...but on a walk the other day that seemed rainy and dreary to me Janice was constantly pointing out the rebirth and beauty of different fungi and other plants that "spring" up this time of year - during mid fall. Too frequently that attitude alludes me and I'm lucky to have her as an inspiration. And lucky to have compositions like this to listen to.

We've much liked every song you've posted but even given that this one is extra special (along with Life's Lotto smile ). No need to go into details as the write, vocal, band choice and production are all up to your high bar standards.

Suffice it to say thank you for sharing this for all of us.

J&B,

Thank you for once more taking the time to listen. I really am sincerely grateful. My overarching view regarding my existence is that sometimes it's very easy to get caught up in the downside of life and this can overshadow just how amazing and truly incredible this world, this universe and life are. My parents were both very much glass-half-full people and my mum especially could always manage to find a silver lining somewhere in just about every situation. I never stop feeling thankful to her for the lessons she taught me.

Thank you again!

All the best to you both smile
Noel
