Cryin' Time AND thoughts of THANKS

Friday was a time for goodbyes which brought to mind the song, Crying Time. And yes, it's crying time again, I know you're leaving. I can see that far away look in your eyes.

Many people admitted to their exit strategies on Friday.

We are happy for them ... sad for our own uncertainty and sad that if we stay, their empty desks along with the loss of their work and personal contributions will be notable.

Thank you to Marge and Rosie for their link to the PD alum page. Here is a link to theirs, http://pdalumni.blogspot.com/


Thank you to Harry Liggett for posting to the Beacon Journal alum site. http://bjretirees.blogspot.com/

It is just this kind of positive support that this blog hopes to pay forward.

Thanks for the song suggestions thus far ... Margie's very appropriate, "I will survive".
Another suggestion, "End of the World", by REM; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeo0_3gN190

A reporter suggested, "Way Down in the Hole".



From the comments to the first blog posting: Poi Dog (?) suggested Thanksgiving, "My song of the month: Thanksgiving by Poi Dog Pondering.
Nothing on youtube. Here are the lyrics, though:"

Somehow I find myself far out of line
from the ones I had drawn
Wasn't the best of paths, you could attest to that,
but I'm keeping on.
Would our paths cross if every great loss
had turned out our gain?
Would our paths cross if the pain it had cost us
was paid in vain?
There was no pot of gold, hardly a rainbow
lighting my way
But I will be true to the red, black and blues
that colored those days.
I owe my soul to each fork in the road,
each misleading sign.
'Cause even in solitude, no bitter attitude
can dissolve my sweetest find
Thanksgiving for every wrong move that made it right.
