Though the current project started as a series of posts charting my grief journey after the death of my mother, I am no longer actively grieving. Now, the blog charts a conversation in living, mainly whatever I want it to be. This is an activity that goes well with the theme of this blog (updated 2018). The Sense of Doubt blog is dedicated to my motto: EMBRACE UNCERTAINTY. I promote questioning everything because just when I think I know something is concrete, I find out that it’s not.

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #924 - Blondie and Kermit - Musical Monday 1801.15
Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #924 - Blondie and Kermit - Musical Monday 1801.15
Hi Mom,
It's MLK Day, and I am not posting anything directly related to MLK Day. I am not posting a video by an African-American artist either. Not because I don't want to. But when a writer I follow reminded me of this video's existence, I queued it up to share today before thinking about how it would be scheduled for MLK Day.
And yet, "The Rainbow Connection" is a great MLK Day song. It's a lot like MLK's "I have a dream" speech. It's basically the same sentiment.
Plus, I have shared plenty of music by African-Americans over the years, and to share something like that on this day, seem gratuitous, forced, less meaningful.
So, here's "The Rainbow Connection" with Debbie Harry and Kermit. I know the title reads "Blondie," which is not accurate as the rest of the band is not in the video, but I felt Blondie was easier to read than Debbie Harry in a short title, and more attention getting. So...
This is a great video.
I am happy be reminded of it.
Short Musical Monday today, which is one day later, because, you know, as usual, I fell behind, and I am catching up.

Reflect and connect.
Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you, Mom.
I miss you so very much, Mom.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

NEW (written 1708.27) NOTE on time: I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of your death, Mom, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of your death, Mom. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom.
