August 1, 2023 (Song #2040): T-2*: Rabbit-Rabbit People. “Wayland The Rabbit” by Seals & Crofts (no lyric video today, but you can click on CC below the video to read the lyrics.)
T-2 is a song that reaches way down into my core; it reminds me how grateful I am to have had a chance to learn how to deal with the good, the bad and the ugly in life. As Coach John Wooden said: “Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.”. And, since today is also the 1st of the month, it reminds me of my mom and her group of close girlfriends (“Camp Thunder Thighs”) who said “Rabbit Rabbit” on the first of every month for “good luck”. Mom’s friendships with these people (and many others) taught me, among other things, what it means to be a good friend. I am so grateful for the lessons and am even more grateful that what I learned from her is alive and well in my own children and their wonderful friendships.
