Heard a song on this morning’s drive to Hillsboro and the words impressed me so much, it is my post for this evening. It is sung by the amazing Neil Diamond and titled “I Think It’s Going to Rain Today”. Oddly enough it was a cold misty sort of morning with low lying fog. In my opinion, the song speaks to a paradox that exists with some friendships. The Lyrics have been added so you can read what I think I heard. So tell me has this ever happened to you? Do you feel it is appropriate to kick your friends down the street like a tin can? My guess is that speaks to each person’s judgment on the friend.

I Think It's Going to Rain Today
Song by Randy Newman

Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend

Bright before me the signs implore me
To help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

I hope you enjoyed the music as much as I did. Have a blessed and safe day.
