Jeff Buckley Lyrics
“Hallelujah”
(originally by Leonard Cohen)

Well, I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah…

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah…

Well, baby, I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor (you know)
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah…

Well, there was a time when you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do ya?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah…

Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah…
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah…
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hello weekend! Here we are Friday in the Spring on an Easter weekend…for some of you it’s sunshine others you may see rain and snow but
the one thing I know is that wherever you go look for rainbows in the clouds…a little message just to say how proud someone is of you…☔️🐇🎀

Light Rising from Within
In the quiet, the resilient one stands. Surrounded by fragments of what once fell. Yet from every broken piece, a light begins to glow. Life is not about being whole, but about choosing to shine

GOOD FRIDAY

The observance is central to the Christian holy season that leads up to Easter when Jesus Christ was resurrected. While Easter has become a traditional celebration in the secular world, Good Friday has remained a holy and spiritual observance.

NATIONAL FILM SCORE DAY

On April 3rd, National Film Score Day recognizes the musical masterpieces called “Film Scores” and, more specifically, the very talented composers who create them.

Here’s to John Williams, Giorgio Moroder, Ennio M., Hans Z. Just to name a few. Film scores so enhance our enrichment and enjoyment! Thanks for posting about this today!

@cat911,

Can you imagine Star Wars without that epic score? i can name many more.

Enjoy the Holiday Weekend. 🎈😎

I am a big fan of movie scores.

NATIONAL CHOCOLATE MOUSSE DAY

Every April 3rd National Chocolate Mousse Day recognizes the decadent dessert that gained popularity in France in the 1800s.

NATIONAL TWEED DAY

On April 3rd each year, National Tweed Day focuses on all things tweed. This day has a couple of approaches to celebrating the day, so you decide which one you believe is the source of National Tweed Day.

NATIONAL FIND A RAINBOW DAY

Each year on April 3rd, National Find a Rainbow Day challenges us to look to the sky and find a colorful ray of hope cast across it.

Red is the color that is visible on the outer part of a rainbow and violet on the inside of a primary rainbow. Children learn in science class the mnemonic ROYGBIV to help them to remember the sequence of colors in a rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Many forms of airborne water can cause rainbows including, rain, mist, spray, and dew.

Not every day will feel good… but you keep showing up. Not everyone will be honest… but you choose truth. Not everyone will love you back… but you still love. That’s strength. That’s character. That’s who you’re becoming. ❤️

Beautiful sentiment. Thank you for your positivity.

Good Morning Peeps and welcome to the HSN Community. 🎈😎

Enjoy what you do.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Hope you are feeling better and can do
anything you want.

I hope you are able to see hubby today weather and health permitting. 🎈😎

Oz is raining and I am alright with that. 😎💕

@sheba2011

I arrived home just about an hour ago after being with hubs. He lost a great deal of weight, though his beard is now non existent and his hair a bit shorter. Hopefully, the rehab staff will help him regain some pounds. But, his hands are stronger. I just hope he will be alright.

This morning I awoke to some back pain and took what I needed. That pain subsided within a few minutes and has stayed away all day. For the first time in three months I was able to go up and down the three steps in the carport without a problem. I was so excited that I did it quite a few times. The weather does play an important part to this. I just hope that Sunday will be a good day to start using the legs again. It sure will be nice to be able to walk the mile to the mailbox and return without a hitch. Not to worry. I will be taking it slow to get to that point.

Wishing you and your family a Happy Easter. Hope the weather holds up so you can enjoy whatever the day brings.

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California. Wishing you and your family a great weekend. 😎🎈
Oz is doing just fine with the rains and wind. LOL!

I hope we stay dry enough for a nice long healthy walk. 😎 I need the endorphins.

Have fun and enjoy the view. 🎈

Sheba, Wishing you and family a Happy Easter!
🐇 🌷

Been looking at the Todays Special. Maybe too long since the Silver ones with white diamond sold out but thinking about taking the plunge on the Gold color with white diamond. WHat do you think.
First I will head out for a long walk and get some air.

@taci,

Good Evening I would go for it now if this is what you want. I like the Goldtone
i think she did a good job with this so pretty.

i am going to show you what they all looked like. 💕

This should work. i hope you had a good walk I did get mine in before the storm.
Oz is about to have a major thunderstorm so I am getting ready to make sure
everything is charged up going to be a long night.

Sheba, ok well if you say….. I did go for the gold/white diamond. I think the style will work for me.
Plus I have given away or sold off so much that I can now have room for a change of style and not overwhelm myself.
Walk went well. It’s cool and crispy outside so enjoyable.
Hope your walk went well.
Those storms are big in OZ. Stay safe and charged up 🙂

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈💕How is your mother doing? I hope that cold is
one and done soon.

Wishing you a Good Friday. 💕😎

Oz is rainy and windy next week well it will be interesting. LOL you know what that means.

Hey wishing you and Jake a wonderful day. 😎💕🎈

@sheba2011

The day started off with some rain and right now it is beautiful. Lots of windows open for some fresh air. Monday and Tuesday we will have lows in the 20s and 30s.🥶

Mom might have a stomach bug. Sis said yesterday she was running to the bathroom. Not sure if she made it to church today but she will watch whatever is on TV. She watches mass every single day on TV.🙏 Looks like we may do our own thing on Easter🧺🐰

Sending Good Friday hugs to you and Poppy.✝️🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening so sorry about your mom being under the weather all these colds
when will it end. We will be in the 30’s tomorrow morning and then a slow warm up.

Lady that is when I get sick from extreme high to a fast low.

I hope your sister don’t catch it and make sure she has some food on her stomach.

Hey Good Friday to you too. 💕

Thunderstorms are on the way so I am going to shut down.

Sweet Dreams. 💕😎

I can hear music 🎶🎶

Good Vibrations
Song by The Beach Boys

I-I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
She’s giving me the excitations (oom-bop-bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations (good vibrations, oom-bop-bop)
She’s giving me the excitations (excitations, oom-bop-bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations (oom-bop-bop)
She’s giving me the excitations (excitations, oom-bop-bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations (oom-bop-bop)
She’s giving me the excitations (excitations)
Close my eyes, she’s somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations (oom-bop-bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations (good vibrations, oom-bop-bop)
She’s giving me excitations (excitations, oom-bop-bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (oom-bop-bop)
She’s giving me excitations (excitations, oom-bop-bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (oom-bop-bop)
She’s giving me excitations (excitations)
Ah, ah, my, my, what elation
I don’t know where, but she sends me there
Oh, my, my, what a sensation
Oh, my, my, what elation
Oh, my, my, what
Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations a-happenin’ with her
Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations a-happenin’ with her
Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations a-happenin’
Good, good, good, good vibrations (oom-bop-bop)
She’s giving me the excitations (excitations, oom-bop-bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations (good, good, good, good vibrations)

Hope Springs Eternal. 🎈💕

On April 2nd, Hob and Jill went up the hill with their little Kits to celebrate National Ferret Day because that’s some serious business.

These carnivores join the mustelid family, including the otter, badger, weasel, marten, mink, and wolverine.

@sheba2011

I missed seeing the moon last night in all it’s pink glory. Instead I was trying to convert a PDF file into something I could send to our Accountant through e-mail. This started at 10 AM and continued to midnight. I finally resorted to an AI for help. It became an amazing adventure and the outcome worked like a charm. Who kniew the capabilities of one tiny thing that floats within a cloud. Has no arms, legs or facial features and sits in a chair waiting for the next problem. Consequently, I did not see hubs and he will get an earful of what I did. I also missed the First Seder, but the end result was worth everything.

Today, when I awoke, to a sunny morning, it felt great. No pain and the ability to move around seemed endless. The packet was now ready for the Accountant. I was ready to leave around 1 pm and the pain in the side and lower back returned. The clouds came and you would think it would rain, but zero, zilch, denada. I took one pill for the pain and two hours later I was ready for another. I learned, later, that we would have some rain chances, finally. I finally left for the USPS to drop off the packet. I could not shop. Sat in the car for a few minutes and drove home.
Ar’pimd 6 pm saw lightning and then a hube clash of thunder and torrents of rain. So glad I was home and indoors. Tomorrow the same scenario which will probably get me out of the house for gas and then on to see hubs. Not sure about shopping, though the Farmer’s Market has lobster rolls for $14.00 ea.. Also stuffed flounder with lobster stuffing. Two of my favorites along with salmon which is also on sale. We will have another round of lower temps next week. We will not see anything higher than the low 60s. Nighttime lows in the 40s to mid 50s. Nice spring like temps that I love. No high temps. No humidity.

@oodiebom,

Enjoy your evening glad your paperwork is all done. I would just rest tonight.

Rest Well.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California Taci if you have the time Heidi Daus will be on today
at two different times. 💕🎈😎I love watching her presentation.

Wishing you a wonderful Thursday. 😎🎈

The Heidi pieces look lovely, so nice and bright for the season.💍💎

Enjoy your evening, sending bunches of hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

The Beach Boys Lyrics
“Darlin'”

(Oh, keep dreamin’ of darlin’)
(Ooh-ooh, my darlin’, you’re so fine)
(Oh, oh, oh)

Don’t know if words could say
But darlin’, I’ll find a way
To let you know what you meant to me
Guess it was meant to be
I hold you in my heart
As life’s most precious part

Oh, darlin’ (Oh, keep dreamin’ of darlin’)
I dream about you often my pretty darlin’
(Ooh-ooh, my darlin’, you’re so fine)
I love the way you soften my life with your love
Your precious love, uh-huh, oh

I was livin’ like half a man
Then I couldn’t love, but now I can
You pick me up when I’m feelin’ sad
More soul than I ever had
Gonna love you every single night
‘Cause I think you’re too outta sight

Oh-oh, darlin’ (Oh, keep dreamin’ of darlin’)
I dream about you often my pretty darlin’
(Ooh-ooh, my darlin’, you’re so fine)
I love the way you soften my life with your love
Your precious love, uh-huh-huh

Whoa, oh-oh-oh
Every night, oh, darlin’

Gonna love you every single night, yes I will
‘Cause I think you’re too doggone outta sight

Darlin’ (Oh, keep dreamin’ of darlin’)
I dream about you often my pretty darlin’
(Ooh-ooh, my darlin’, you’re so fine)
I love the way you soften my life with your love
Your precious love, uh-huh, oh

Good Morning Peeps and welcome to the HSN Community. 😎🎈
Enjoy the visit and Happy Spring.

Passover, or Pesach, is an eight-day Jewish holiday that celebrates the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. For 2026, Passover begins before sundown on Wednesday, April 1, and ends after nightfall on Thursday, April 9. This year, it runs concurrently with Christian Holy Week that begins with Palm Sunday and ends on Easter. 🫓🍷🐑🩸

APRIL FOOLS’ DAY

April Fools’ Day on April 1st has long been a day when practical jokes and tricks are played on the unaware. It’s a time when children convince their parents they’ve broken a bone. Parents get in on the planning, too.

NATIONAL TOM FOOLERYS DAY

April 1 is National Tom Foolerys Day on the National Day Calendar, and we are celebrating with harmless pranks, silly tricks, shenanigans, and, of course, tomfoolery. April 1 also happens to be the birthday of Tom Foolery, a character developed by Kalahari Resorts, home to America’s largest indoor waterparks. This is no April Fool’s joke! We are dedicating an entire day to celebrating the spirit of adventure, play, and a little bit of trickery, in all of us.

PASSOVER BEGINS

Every year, the spring festival called Passover is celebrated for 8 days. Traditionally known as a major Jewish holiday, many Christians have also begun to take part in celebrating Passover. The date of the festival is in accordance with the first full moon in the Hebrew calendar month, Nissan. For this reason, the date changes every year.

TAKE DOWN TOBACCO NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION

Take Down Tobacco National Day of Action is a national day of activism that empowers youth to stand out, speak up and seize control against Big Tobacco. A part of the Kick Butts campaign, the initiative not only empowers students to say no to tobacco and e-cigarettes but also gives them the tools to become a tobacco-free generation.

NATIONAL SOURDOUGH BREAD DAY

National Sourdough Bread Day on April 1st recognizes one of the world’s oldest leavened breads.

NATIONAL WALKING DAY

The first Wednesday in April is National Walking Day and it encourages Americans of all ages to get out and stretch their legs and get their hearts pumping. The American Heart Association sponsors this day to remind people about the health benefits of taking a walk. Wear your sneakers (or take them with you) to work, and at some point in the day, take a 30-minute walk.

NATIONAL ONE CENT DAY

What do Benjamin Franklin, the phrase “mind your business,” April 1st, and National One Cent Day all have in common? The answer is the penny, which we recognize on National One Cent Day.

CHILDHELP NATIONAL DAY OF HOPE

Childhelp National Day of Hope takes place each year during National Child Abuse Prevention Month. The first Wednesday in April is set aside to ask the country to make a life-long commitment to joining the fight to end child abuse and neglect.

🌕✨ April’s Full Pink Moon is here!
Tonight, the sky brings a rare and beautiful sight — the **smallest full moon of 2026**, glowing with a soft pink hue. Don’t miss your chance to witness this stunning celestial moment!
Although it’s called the *Pink Moon*, it doesn’t actually appear bright pink to the naked eye — the name comes from springtime wildflowers that bloom around this time. 🌸
🌌 Best viewing tips:
• Look up just after sunset
• Find a dark spot away from city lights
• Enjoy with your eyes — no telescope needed
Take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the universe right above you. 💫

The Full Moon in April, the Pink Moon, occurs Wednesday, April 1, 2026, at 10:12 p.m. EDT
The name comes from the early spring bloom of a wildflower native to eastern North America commonly known as creeping phlox. This flower, sometimes called “moss pink,” was often in full bloom during April and symbolized rebirth after the winter. The Pink Moon, was also known as the Egg Moon, Full Sprouting Grass Moon, or Full Fish Moon by various native American cultures.

hospital, traveling and even passing of loved ones. All off the top of my head. 😎

Thank you for being so nice. Enjoy the drink and bask in your Hockey Team winning. 💕

Sweet Dreams. 😘

On October 23, 1999, just three months after the tragic plane crash, a close friend of Carolyn Bessette shared something few people ever knew. John F. Kennedy Jr. had been quietly planning a new life for Carolyn—one where she could finally find peace. He was arranging meetings with documentary filmmakers and dreaming of starting a small production company so she could work behind the camera, away from the constant attention that had made her life so difficult.
What many people never realized is that Carolyn did not rush into John’s world. She resisted him for almost a year. She turned him down again and again because she knew the price of loving a Kennedy—no privacy, no normal life. Friends from her days at Calvin Klein remember how John would send flowers to her office with notes signed only, “The guy from the elevator.” It was a quiet joke between them, remembering the first time they met in 1992, when they were stuck together in an elevator for twenty minutes, talking about everything except his famous name.
One of the most touching details came out years later. Their wedding planner revealed that Carolyn had sewn a small piece of her late father’s favorite tie into the hem of her wedding dress. John, in his own way, carried love and memory too—he kept his mother’s rosary beads in his jacket pocket, specially blessed, close to his heart. They both walked into their marriage carrying private grief, but also deep love.
For their first wedding anniversary on September 21, 1997, John planned something deeply personal. He rented the entire Strand Bookstore in Manhattan after hours because Carolyn once said her perfect date would have books, music, and no crowds. He filled the bookstore with candles and hired a violinist. That night, hidden from the world, they slow-danced between the shelves and read poetry to each other until morning.
It was an evening without cameras, without noise—just two people finding safety and comfort in each other’s arms, surrounded by stories written by strangers, while quietly writing their own.
