Maybe someone can rewrite the Neil Sadaka hit — “Breaking Up is Hard To Do” (lyrics below)

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Song by Neil Sedaka ‧ 1970
Z
To-do-doDown, dooby-doo, down-down, comma-commaDown, dooby-doo, down-down, comma-commaDown, dooby-doo, down-downBreaking up is hard to do
Don't take your love away from meDon't you leave my heart in miseryIf you go, then I'll be blue'Cause breaking up is hard to do
Remember when you held me tightAnd you kissed me all through the nightThink of all that we've been throughAnd breaking up is hard to do
They say that breaking up is hard to doNow I know, I know that it's trueDon't say that this is the endInstead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again
I beg of youDon't say goodbyeCan't we give our love another try?Come on, baby, let's start anew'Cause breaking up is hard to do
They say that breaking up is hard to doNow I know, I know that it's trueDon't say that this is the endInstead of breaking up, I wish that we were making up again
I beg of youDon't say goodbyeCan't we give our love another try?'Come on, baby, let's start anew'Cause breaking up is hard to do
Down, dooby-doo, down-down, comma-commaDown, dooby-doo, down-down, comma-commaDown, dooby-doo, down-down, comma-commaDown, dooby-doo, down-down, comma-commaDown, dooby-doo, down-down

of turning their lives
into a celebration
is not easy. Come and let us talk“.

I posted this on Facebook on my birthday a couple of weeks ago. It has been suggested that I share this with my OE/EI/Movement colleagues as well.  Gladly. Here it is....

"This 74-year-old man is contented. This man is me. And it is not just that retirement has turned out for me to be the best gig of all (with musical performances, learning new skills, social events, service work, travel with family and friends, and a lot of time to read and reflect), but in a world fraught with uncertainties both within and beyond my control, I'm learning to let go. (We all have to let go in the end). As for the other picture, I'm not just the photographer trying to get this gorgeous snap, or the ageing walker experiencing fatigue, or the trip co-planner hoping we got the day's walk right. I am all of these realities, but more. I am also that Cabbage White butterfly flitting high and carefree above lovely Staithes in North Yorkshire on a glorious summer afternoon. Don't forget to also be the butterfly. Flit on, my friends, flit on."
