Songbirds, happy food, and 'cheer up wine'
Resting on the couch, reading a book of fiction,
gentle hum of a fan,
and over it all,
the lilting sound of the songbirds...
ah, the joys of peace found in any situation.11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned,
in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.'In stillness and in peace, will you find Me.'
Peace Like a River ---- Peace Like a River
Thanks to my daughter for 'happy food' (she brought me donuts yesterday, and some banana nut muffins she had made)
and with dinner tonight I am having half a glass of 'cheer me up wine'.
Always look for the good things... the ways to be content in any situation.

Birds twitter here every morning and I love the sound. I used to be irritated that they would wake me before sunrise, but I changed my mindset to appreciate them instead.
Yay for the good things you experienced...and the contentment!
The songs you shared are beautiful!
HUGS and Happy Moan-Day!!!
Thankfully little moaning today.
I actually felt pretty good today. So good I went out for a walk, and saw and talked to lots of neighbors. 
That 1st Peace Like A River song you shared...It is Well With My Soul...do you know the story about the man (Mr.H. Spafford) who wrote the song?!
If not:

Knowing what happened to him and his family make the words of the song much more meaningful. I'm not sure I could survive what he did.
HUGS!!!
Amazing faith,
and amazing story.
That kind of faith is rare... the kind that brings that 'peace that goes beyond understanding'.
birdsong is about the cheeriest thing one can hear, I'm athinkin'!
@fwren: I agree... a gift from God to speak to the soul.
