Retro Music 103 | beetleypete

The Kane Gang was a 3-piece band from the north-east of England. Their first album caught the attention of the critics and the buying public, giving them moderate success. After just two hit singles from that debut album, their second album was more popular in the USA than it was in Britain. When the lead singer decided to go solo in 1991, the band split up.

But this track remains in my head, and I still love to listen to it.

(The video is rather poor quality, unfortunately. But the sound is fine.)

Pom Pom Salad | snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Country Casual Cravings: Pom Pom Salad! You can’t miss the incredibly bright red edible seeds of a ripe pomegranate. It’s actually the only part of the fruit that can be eaten. The naturally sweet and slightly tart flavor of an aril almost tastes like a piece of candy. They look incredibly enticing when sprinkled on a leafy salad. Wouldn’t you agree?

Ethiopia starvation: Fear of famine in Tigray grows – Stigmatis

By Alex de Waal | Africa analyst

Famine is stalking parts of Ethiopia. The epicentre is in the northern Tigray region.

Villagers who have not yet recovered from the ravages of the recent war in the region are now stricken by severe drought.

Reports of hundreds of children dying of starvation are trickling in from remote areas.

US attitudes and questions on climate change are changing – Darcy Hitchcock

What’s interesting also is how their questions are changing. Most people are asking what can be done. The number of people asking if it’s a hoax has declined from 51 percent to 39.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall | From Behind the Pen

When you take a good look at yourself in the mirror, what thoughts run through your mind? Do you wink at yourself and say what a gorgeous creature you are? Or are you overly critical of the way you look in the mirror at that very moment? Or maybe you are simply smiling at yourself, happy to be alive and ready to seize the day.

Years ago I loved the segment on Saturday Night Live, “Daily Affirmation with Stuart Smalley,” whose character was played by Al Franken. While the scene was funny, it was also a little sad. Somehow you felt sorry for old Stuart because it was apparent that he needed validation seeking positive compliments as a person who was experiencing low self-esteem. But his daily affirmation would always be positive, “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it people like me.”

We have to acknowledge that sometimes we just don’t feel our best and that is okay. We may go there, but it’s not healthy to stay there. When there is no one around to offer encouragement, sometimes you just have to encourage yourself by looking in the mirror, and affirming that you are blessed with the gift of life. You have that opportunity and a choice to be an asset and an inspiration or be a liability and morose.

Have a positively inspiring day! Happy affirmations! Enjoy!
