Life In Pink

LIFE IN PINK Woke up with a bemused smile. Got up with spring in my steps. Opened a window and the door and let the bright sunshine in. Got out, looked at the shining sun in the sky, surrounded by clouds. Yet, I saw the pinkish hue around it. Thought of the song Life in Pink. Practiced the dance La Vie En Rose and the song I need to record, My Love. How beautiful it is to feel and see life through rosy pink glasses.

I never learned that in Math (LOL). Neither in color mixing. Only in Poetry! Good formula.... to carry in life.

I just listened to "Milord", kind of jazzy with melancholy tune in between. This would a good combination of jazz and whatever melancholy moods I could come up with. Thanks.

Try choreographing her "Milord" next; that should be a real winner! Aloha! Rico

I love this song, so I choreographed a dance with this music. Although life is not always pink. Most of the time it is shades of gray (LOL). Aloha!

I know; but the song La Vie En Rose means Life in Pink in English. I love the song; but cannot sing in French so I chose My Love for my class assignment. Thank you.
