#22 Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Where it began
I can’t begin to know when
But then I know it’s growin’ strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who’d have believe you’d come along?🪄
Hands
Touchin’ hands
Reachin’ out
Touching me, touchin’ you🪄
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I’ve been inclined
To believe they never would🪄
But now I look at the night
And it don’t seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin’ runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holdin’ you?🪄
Warm
Touchin’ warm
Reachin’ out
Touchin’ me, touchin’ you🪄
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I’ve been inclined
To believe they never would, oh, no, no🪄
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I believe they never could
Sweet Caroline

Rediscovering the Sacred Soulcraft of Homecaring

“The ordinary arts we practice every day at home of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.”

Thomas Moore (Irish writer & Poet; May 28th, 1779 to February 25th, 1852)

“Creating a comfortable, beautiful, well-run home can be among our most satisfying accomplishments as well as an illuminating spiritual experience. Like sweat equity, channeling your time and creative energy closer to home will produce a big emotional return for yourself and those you love.”

“The order in my home creates a space where my mind can rest in sanctuary and peace.”
