Peace on Earth - Relaxing "Sounds of Silence"

Building Personal Strength

"Peace on Earth, goodwill towards men." I hear this a lot during the holiday season, but it rarely seems peaceful this time of year. But we really do need the peace, we need to relax. This video worked for me. The music comes from Simon and Garfunkel's "Sounds of Silence," a huge hit back in the amazing year of 1969. I was living in a bunker in Vietnam, and my sergeant loved this song, played it over and over again.

I'm still learning, and I trust I always will be. Any day I get to write a lot is a good day. It also sharpened my love of stories. Whether in fiction or film, I love stories.

For me, the best writer in the blogosphere is Beth Westmark, and her post about how the news of her brother's cancer affected her is the most recent example. Her article made me remember the anxiety I felt 13 years ago when Kathleen was having a lump removed.
