I try my best to surround myself with beauty and joy as much as possible. Sometimes it takes effort or even work to do so. It’s easy to fall into the trap and drama of negativity. Therefore if you haven’t noticed of recent I’ve stepped up a notch from just bringing the beauty of bearded men to this here blog thingy, I’ve started adding a bit more.
I’ve shared this video before but many, many years ago. Today it brings me joy and hope. I post it here that maybe one other person stumbling through may also be warmed by its simplicity and beauty.

May peace and joy be yours today, and may peace prevail on earth

Goosebumps every time. Then and now. Thanks for the reminder. 🌈💜🥹
Goosebumps and tears here. Tears of Hope, Joy and gratitude.
I love how you are posting these videos as it helps me with my mood with how things are going in our country. Would you mind if I used some of these on my blog? I loved the “Peace Train” video you posted a few days ago. Here’s a Peace Train picture book video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9ljgaGdMiI
Yes! Please share on your blog.
these help me and I was hoping they might help someone else. Together let’s all lift each other. 🥰
Thank you so much. I have listened/watched the Peace Train video at least five times now. It has really helped lift me up.
Thank you for the picture book link. I just watched, commented and followed Yusuf.
I love IZ’s version of this song! Always have, always will!
It is so beautiful.
