"Love is all around"

One of my favorite songs: "Love is all around"(by Paul Williams)...

From 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show'

"Who can turn the world on with her smile? Who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well, it's you girl and you should know it, with each glance and every little movement you show it.
Love is all around no need to waste it, you can have a town, why don't you take it? You're gonna make it after all, You're gonna make it after all.
How will you make it on your own? This world is awfully big, girl, this time you're all alone.
But, it's time you started living, It's time you let someone else do the giving.
Love is all around, no need to waste it, you can have a town, why don't you take it? You're gonna make it after all, You're gonna make it after all."

Like today, at that time, young ladies needed all the encouragement they could get. The shows actors were on 'Oprah' tonight and they all looked wonderful. Ted was missing, as he passed away in 1986. He was such a blast, a real fun character,too. Mary has type-1 Diabetes, it's effected her sight, however she's in good spirits, which helps her look & feel very healthy. Cloris Leachman sat on Lou's lap. Betty White is sharp as a tack, so cute & witty. Gavin, handsome & sweet as ever, (remember the Captain in the 'Love Boat').Even ditzy Georgette was there, she spoke softly. Correct me if I'm wrong, Mary said she worked with a loving group like a family. The one who really looked great is Rhoda (my favorite), she wore a black cat-like jumpsuit with a canary-yellow shirt dress, real smooth style.
The set was restored down to the letter 'M' on Mary's apartment wall. Mary took the original 'M' off the wall as a souvenir. They set up her apartment with the glass window, the sofa, the dinette set, even down to the pumpkin cookie jar.
A blast from the past, I really enjoyed it. Yikes, it reminded me of the clothes I wore back then. Most of us worked in offices and wore polyester jumpers; we cleaned our apartments singing songs like: "I will survive" and "You're gonna make it, after all"
