{ The Video of the Day }

I finally figured out how to post a video with my blog. YAY! I know, some that visit my blog are probably shaking their heads. From the family who probably wonders about my taste in music to those of you with your volume turned way up getting a bit of a startle if you were used to silence. *sorry* But I’m SUCH a music nut and I had so much fun searching for oodles of great videos to share here. For the first one I thought this Sarah McLachlan video was timely. I remembered it from when it first came out and it just seemed fitting. I’ve been hesitant to blog about my emotions involving hurricane Katrina because they’ve become so mixed up in politics and beaurocracy that mostly when I think about it all I’m just frustrated. Frustrated with the blame game that took place so quickly. Frustrated with the violent reactions of some which made what was obviously a horrible situation to begin with become something I’d consider to be truly horrific. Frustrated that in my own mind I struggle between, on the one hand, certainly understanding how difficult it would be to leave my home under the circumstances and, on the other hand, that there was a mandatory evacuation. So anyway, I hesitate to post even this vague response of emotions but this IS my journal and the only one I keep so I think it’s good to at least record some of what I’ve been feeling to look back on. Maybe I’ll feel entirely differently about it all a year from now, ya know? My prayers go out to all those affected by the hurricane and especially to those who are still trying to reconnect with their parents or children. Belongings can be replaced but family members can not and I know that I’d be devastated to lose any of mine.

So, back to the lighter subject of my daily video. Stay tuned, I’ve got some GREAT ones ‘on deck’ so-to-speak. :) And if anyone knows of another source for these musical goodies please share. There were some artists and songs that I was unable to find on hotcodez.
