Catastrophes, wars, terrorism, ecological disasters, deadly diseases, poverty .... The list of tragedies - both personal and public - is endless. Every day and hour media, politicians, experts - and charlatans - bring us a never ending barrage of bad things. No wonder that many people feel depressed and weary. This blog tries - in a modest and personal way - to contribute to a more balanced view. After all, there is so much to appreciate and enjoy in life ...

The Great Jussi Björling
(Image: cover of an excellent Björling cd box)

Listen to Björling (together with Renata Tebaldi) sing Che gelida manina and O soave fanciulla from La Bohème, and I think you will agree.
