Also. If people (you) are concerned about it being long, just use the chorus, or chorus-bridge-chorus.

Lets see what the vote is, but that is a GREAT idea...

I came here to say exactly what @haly said. You don't have to use the whole song. You can just use a part of it for the opening theme. Much success with your upcoming plans!

I’d personally love the song both ways so how about a short or medium clip intro and then let us hear the whole thing at the end to send us off into our day happy as punch! It’s really great! πŸ‘ 🫢😻

Love these morning check-ins! And the song drew me in. I'm a lyrics person, and they touched me. Life can only get better...

That's all my daughter, Lolo....she's expecting her second little one, and when she was visiting, I asked if I could use it for LoF.

Yep. Keep the song! It made me tear up a little. I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs to hear it more than once.

My ADHD brain has so many comments throughout these and I love it.

First off, GOOD MORNING!!!!! Hopefully you heard that. πŸ˜„

Secondly I want to know ow that I love you and am here to support you in any way I can. Even if it means helping to do grunt work when you build your house.

I love you back, little brother.

Was in the office, so if you shouted from outside your house, no, I didn’t hear it…BUT I did read it.

GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING, BACK!!!!!!

As for my house, how about we spread the word of Life of Fiction, get enough paid subscribers, and then you can join me over a Coke Zero while we watch proper β€˜men’ craft a house that is less likely to fall in on my head?

BTW β€” anyone else reading this should know something about Joshua. His single quote, when he was a kid, helped me sell THOUSANDS of books.

Wait, wait….let’s see if I still have the printing file.

Hmmmmm.

Oop. There it is. PDF.

Open. Screenshot. Therrrrrrre we GO!

UPLOAD.

Dad, I keep getting emotional listening and watching these things you're putting out. I love hearing the stories you always said you would write, I love hearing the songs my sisters create. It's beautiful to me.

I couldn't help chuckling every time there was a cut in the video, cause I know you, and I could only imagine what was pulled out πŸ˜„ and what I imagined was funny. (Idk, maybe that makes me weird πŸ€”πŸ˜…)

Please use the song to open. It is a little long, but it brings a smile to my face. Every day should start with a skip in your step and a smile πŸ€—

My sweet Jessie bear,... all these things were created for my kids first.

For you, dear.

Then for your kids, which are still my kids.

.... but you DO know me, and know I love ALL kids.

That's why all this is happening now.

I have no clue how to make things grow, how to run a business, or to make lots of money.

I do know how to love people.

I do know how to give hope.

I do know how to teach.

I do know how to uplift and point out the good things I see in others, especially when they are down.

My heart has always been full, and I have always wanted to create opportunities to craft positive experiences for readers.
