there's something about the turning of the calendar to a new year that never fails to revitalize me. sometimes that new energy comes on like gangbusters. other times it's a slight lift out of despair to just sadness. whatever the form though, i tend to approach a new year with a sense of possibility. my last entry was about sharing songs of loss and longing as they reflected my mood at the time. today i want to share a song that's about new hope (as per the norm, click on the title to launch the song). while i wish i could say that the joy this song expresses is both consistent and persistent within me, i have to admit that it really is more like looking out at a cloudy sky and seeing a break of sunlight far out on the horizon. i can say that i'm at least hopeful that it's heading in my direction. that's progress.
