I absolutely love what the Steady Team is doing; Mr. Rather's thoughtful, and thought-provoking, insights and essays help keep me calm and informed and I look forward to the Smile for a Saturday emails to see what gem the team sharing with us this week. FYI, Because of you, I am hooked on the Gardiner Brothers and happily admit that I've spent (not wasted) hours watching their incredible talent and witnessing the shear joy they have for what they're doing. Keep it coming and taking it Steady On... (btw, that's the name of the incredibly talented Shawn Colvin's 1991 debut album and title song, co-written with John Leventhal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJBJQ6jmm6o) - check it out. Peace and love to all -

I LOVE IT! In fact, I found Steady through a friend sharing today’s Saturday Smile. And! I subscribed!

On a serious note, I have been watching you, Mr. Rather, since I was a kid in the late 60’s. I have always understood that you are a man of honor, integrity, and courage. I want you to know that I am grateful to you then, now and always.

Back to Saturday’s Smile - Yes, please! Being a person of reasonable common sense, I live under a gray cloud every day. That cloud is human created. To be reminded weekly that we humans can also be creative joy bringers is deeply needed. I will welcome these smiles w/ thanks!

I watched the video clip 4 times in a row. The positive energy and happiness positively burst from the screen. I don't want you to change your "on the money" reporting, but this refreshing ray of sunshine is every bit as welcome!! Thank you.

I didn't read this post until today and had seen this wonderful video on Twitter a couple of days ago. I think this is a great idea. We can all use some smiles these days!
