#60 Galveston (Glen Campbell) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea winds blowin’
I still see her dark eyes glowin’
She was 21 when I left Galveston🪄
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston🪄
I still see her standing by the water
Standing there lookin’ out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run🪄
Galveston, oh Galveston, I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she’s crying
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
At Galveston, at Galveston

Creating a Plan for Personal Papers

“Tidied all my papers. Tore up and ruthlessly destroyed much. This is always a great satisfaction.”

Katherine Mansfield (New Zealand Writer; October 14th, 1888 to January 9th, 1923)

“I am a stickler for order as when you know where things are you remain in action on any project or task vs. stopping and having to pivot looking for a supplemental item.”

–Ban Breathnach, Sarah. “Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy”. Grand Central Publishing. (1976). Kindle Page 204 to 205 of 501.
