For Kim C., and Rustic Rebel, and Spaw, and Fogie, and Sorcha, and Liz the Squeak, and anyone else out there who feels that 2002 was something they survived, I offer this song from Fred Rogers^*:

It's Such a Good Feeling
© 1970, Fred M. Rogers

It's such a good feeling to know you're alive.
It's such a happy feeling: You're growing inside.
And when you wake up ready to say,
"I think I'll make a snappy new day."
It's such a good feeling, a very good feeling,
The feeling you know that we're friends.

^*(for non-American Mudcatter's reference, Mr. Rogers was the avuncular host of a long running children's program on Public Television from 1966 until he retired last year. The program is still being broadcast in reruns).
