Happy (end of) Saturday #JukeboxFridayNight My #LifeWellLived today conisited of moving my kid out of one dorm and into another so they can continue to stay at uni over the summer and work. Then driving back around the M25 with no working air conditioning in 27 degree heat with high humidity! Anyways, I've got your playlist for you:

#JukeboxFridayNight#LifeWellLived “Love Circles” - Squeeze

Johnny Cash's life wasn't perfect and there were challenges along the way but overall. a Life Well Lived captured in this song sung by his daughter Rosanne Johnny & Rosanne Cash - September When It Comes https://youtu.be/ORA4w0ZGKeI#LifeWellLived #JukeboxFridayNight

For this week's theme of a Life Well Lived, here's "Moonshadow", written and sung by Yusef / Cat Stevens. A simple folk-style song about accepting whatever life hands you and finding ways to remain content. "I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, Moonshadow, moonshadow, Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow, Moonshadow, moonshadow... ...And if I ever lose my eyes, If my colours all run dry, Yes if I ever lose my eyes, I won't have to cry no more." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mXI-yXPn00 #JukeboxFridayNight #LifeWellLived

For this week's music theme of a Life Well Lived, here's Elton John singing "The Circle of Life", written by Elton John and Tim Rice. "Some of us fall by the wayside, And some of us soar to the stars, And some of us sail through our troubles, And some have to live with the scars, There's far too much to take in here, More to find than can ever be found, But the sun rollin' high through the sapphire sky Keeps great and small on the endless round In the circle of life." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQpNuSdVYuA #JukeboxFridayNight #LifeWellLived

For this week's music theme of a Life Well Lived, here's a sentimental oldie written and sung by the smooth-voiced Paul Anka. This was sung at my high school graduation decades ago, so this really takes my mind back over the years! "The laughter and the tears, The shadows of misty yesteryears, The good times and the bad you've seen, And all the others in between, Remember, Do you remember the times of your life?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGx2j42_6KU #JukeboxFridayNight #LifeWellLived
