Good Wednesday morning dear friend, welcome to weird and true facts. Here is one about New Year's. If you live on the island of Kiribati in the Central Pacific, you get to ring in the New Year first. Citizens of American Samoa are the last to celebrate New Year’s Eve. (Source comes from www.funfactsabout.com/fun-facts-about-new-year/). Have a great day, take care and GOD bless... ... View more

Good Wednesday morning dear friend, hopefully, this will help you just as much as it has and even continues to help me. “Sometimes you don’t realize your strength until you come face to face with your greatest weakness.”  (Quote by Susan Gale) Yes, my dear friend life can sometimes be cruel, and harsh, but it is at these seasons in life we can see how strong and how weak we are. Some people need a great support system to help them through their harsh season, others need little to none to see them through. But the fact is my friend no matter how great or how small your support system is, there is no greater support system than your determination to see you through it. Your determination to overcome and defeat what was meant to defeat you will make you much stronger and even more capable than what you have ever realized...So what do you say that you and I right now set our hearts and minds to determine that we are going to be victorious over this unwanted and harsh season that has come to keep us down and defeated? If I can do it, then please know my dear friend, so can you... so can you...I CAN so there is no room for I can't...Never allow room for I can't...The more you say I CAN the less you will think about giving in to the negatives of I can't... Have a great Wednesday dear friend, take care and GOD bless... ... View more

Good Friday morning dear friend, and welcome back to GSOTD... Yes, it has been long overdue...I updated the GSOTD playlist earlier this morning the playlist lost nearly 20 songs due to the changes in the Pandora library. I will be adding three songs to the playlist this morning. I hope you enjoy the music. And remember you can make a request for music to be added, as long as it's not already on the playlist, and if it is I will inform you so you can choose an alternative song or songs... Blues Rock/Pop Rock/Alternative Rock: Man Like That by Gin Wigmore. Virginia Claire Wigmore is a New Zealand singer and songwriter. Featured on the Smashproof single "Brother" in 2009, Wigmore went on to release five albums Holy Smoke, Gravel & Wine, Blood to Bone, and Ivory, with the first three having been chart-toppers on the New Zealand Albums Chart. She is known for her high-pitched and raspy voice. Pop/Blue-eyed Soul: Who Can You Trust by Ivy Levan. The song is about a woman who is not trustworthy but she knows how to manipulate people. She talks about how love is just a way to get what you want and how she can feed you lies better than anyone else. Even though she is not a good person, she believes that no one else can be trusted either, so she justifies her actions. The chorus repeats the question of who else can you trust, emphasizing the idea that no one is reliable. Who Can You Trust is also the opening theme song for the Comedy Film Spy.  Southern Rock/Blues Rock/Folk Rock: Sometimes by Larkin Poe  Larkin Poe is an American roots rock band led by sisters Rebecca Lovell and Megan Lovell. The band originated in north Georgia and is currently based in Nashville, Tennessee. Larkin Poe is known for their strong southern harmonies, heavy electric guitar riffs, and slide guitar, and their music often draws comparisons to the style of the Allman Brothers. The Lovell sisters have gained recognition for their energetic performances and musical prowess.    Have a great Friday, enjoy the music, take care and GOD bless... ... View more
