I simply remember my favorite things, and then I won’t feel so sad. Rodgers &Hammerstein

Joanne Pemberton-Longman was a painter hailing from the United Kingdom. Born in the year 1918 she died in 1973. The above painting in the photo is titled The Sound of Music, one of my favorite things.

The painting hangs in my dining room, and passing by it several times during my day always brings a smile to my face. I’ve always wondered why the artist named the painting as she did, and in my search for a quote to begin this post, I came across one attributed to Robin Williams. Do you know what music is? God’s little reminder that there’s something else besides us in this universe; harmonic connection between all living beings, everywhere, even the stars. So, maybe, just maybe, the lady in the painting is looking up to the heavens and thanking God for the music that surrounds her every day.

Be kind to one another. Till we meet again…
