There are so many awful and sad things going on in the world right now it’s difficult some days to write a cheerful post. I think for today’s post I will just share a post from October 2020 when I was struggling with craziness in the world.
Currently I am just trying to focus on appreciating the good things in my life and sending love to those struggling in the world.
Why Worry Now (re-post from October 6, 2020)
I was thinking about a different post to write this post on my morning walk with Mike the Miniature Schnauzer.
The trees have turned and the weather has cooled down and there was a delicious Autumn cool quiet to my walk this morning.
I enjoy listening to either podcasts, audiobooks or music while I walk Mike. This morning I was listening to music and one of my all time favorite songs queued up on my playlist – Why Worry by Dire Straits from of one of my favorite albums of all time – Brothers in Arms.
In the back of mind lately, always swirling around, are thoughts of the craziness going on in the world. Listening to this song gave me pause.
So I decided to save the post I was going to write today for tomorrow and instead share this song with you and maybe it can give you a little pause too if you have a lot of “thought swirling” going on in your head…
Baby, I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby, I’ll wipe away those bitter tears
I’ll chase away those restless fears
And turn your blue skies into gray
Why worry
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Why worry now
And if you’d like to see a lovely live version of the song in a Mark Knopfler duet with the exquisite Emmylou Harris, here you go…
I thought my soul would float away from peacefulness listening to this…
Nice!

When I need to take a break, I take a holiday just as Madonna told us to do in the 80s.
Also a good song to have on while one dances around the house while cleaning.
Its nice that Mike, the miniature schnauzer walks with you. for me, I have to keep up or get barked at 🙂
