Hello Friends,

I had a lot of plans for art and writing today since I didn’t have to go to town and our daughter is spending a few days with friends.  But alas, a sore throat got me, I took some flu stuff before bed last night, and then slept my whole morning away.  I’m feeling kind of bummed right now, too, because I ruined a painting I was working on and have to do something else now.  I’ve never really liked working with oranges much, but that’s all I’ll say about that!!

Oh well, in spite of all of this, I thought of this song.  It is surely the medicine I needed today.  Just seeing Louis Armstrong’s smiling face singing this beautiful song has already made me feel better.

Have a wonderful day, and give someone you love a big hug!  🙂
