Let It Be

Terry McDermott anyone?

Now there’s a good Scottish boy. To be honest I’ve never actually watched an episode of “The Voice”, the show that’s making Terry famous, but my dad had me listen to Terry singing Let It Be, and I fell in love. I LOVE his clear, strong voice. I also love the old classic songs he sings. Here’s Terry’s version of Let It Be, my personal favorite, but his version of Carry On My Wayward Son comes in a close second.

I also “let it be” on my run today. I just took an easy run on the streets today, taking time to take in the sights and crisp winter air. I got to run through a part of town filled with lots of gorgeous old houses. I really, really love old houses, I feel like they have more personality than houses built today. Someone has already made them a home and every one is so different from the next. Also, my taste in houses has always leaned toward the small side. Smaller houses seem cozier, and who wouldn’t want less floor space to have to clean?

P.S. Here is one of my favorite quotes to end the day on from Henry David Thoreau’s Walden:

“Why do you stay here and live this mean moiling life, when a glorious existence is possible for you? Those same stars twinkle over other fields than these.”

There are so many parts and pieces and way of looking at this quote. Take it as you would like. All I have to say is, Thoreau was brilliant. He sits in my top 5 favorite writers of all time.
