DIY Optimism
Calling all readers. Aunt Lola's in need of a new "hope" playlist. You may recall my Hope for 2008 CD from last winter. I need help coming up with Hope for 2008 Volume 2. What songs make you feel hopeful, or just glad to be alive? I gotta stop listening to depressing music!

Definitely "Better Days" by Dar Williams. I can think of lots more, but I'll have to check out my playlists. I'll get back to you...
Thanks Jodi! It's about time someone posted a suggestion. Keep 'em coming!
How's about Hideaway by the Weepies? I know, I know, the Weepies. But this one is upbeat and fun, not ponderous and introspective. Also, Beautiful Dawn by the Wailin' Jennys. I'm not sure I'm really allowed to weigh in on this as my friend Ted recently said, "no offense, Abby, but your music is kind of depressing." But that's how I like it, dammit! And these songs fit the Hope for 2008, Vol. 2 bill, I promise.
xxoo and miss you lots!
