I like the segue, here from giving us some interesting facts about the song (I didn't know Sinatra hated it) and an insight into your own life, with your own version of the song at the end. Well done.

    Love the picture you use! And thanks for the review. The song always got under my skin, but Sinatra's moved up a notch on my chart. Thanks again, Relda

An interesting essay on the song "My Way" very well documented. I like who you turned this dissertation towards Jesus Christ. Indeed he has his way in our lives.

    Thank you, Iza (may I call you that?), for your kind review. I struggle with getting out of the Lord's way and getting with His program. I often hear him whispering insistently in my ear, "SLOW DOWN, Relda!" as I rush into my day. The only way I can settle down is take five and visit my devotions. Truly, if I begin my day with those devotions and end my day with prayer I am more able to understand and follow his instructions! Thank you again, Relda

I thoroughly enjoyed this diversion into pop music, French songs, gardens, and Christianity. I'm not a fan of the song either... but that may be because I heard too much of it back in the day when it was a competition staple. I much prefer your take on it.

    Thank you, Sallyo, for your kind review. I grew up in a household of my-wayers. I never liked the song either, and I felt oddly vindicated to find out Sinatra didn't either! Raised him a notch or two in my musical book. Thanks again, Relda

    Hi Mystic Angel - thank you for the encouragement. It's been awhile since I've been on FanStory. Am developing a Spiritual Sanctuary on my property - very busy! But I miss you and the FanStory family - and hope to find time to feed-my-soul with you folks. - Relda

A wonderful offering with a great beginning 'hook' and then an awesome transition into a personal Christian testimony -- well done!! ;) :) Love your song...be sure to find a musician to help you with a catchy tune...even if only for yourself! ;) Thanx so much for sharing! ;)

    Thank you for your encouraging review. Would love to get with a musician - know there are some on FanStory but don't know how to go about it. - Relda

I like your version much better, I agree with Frank Sinatra as it being "self indulgent" but I also think it seems to suit the man, from my perspective of his outward projection, but probably my terrible judgementalism. (We sing that in a bracket of songs in my troubadour group.) Thank you for the history of it Relda, well done, blessings, Roy

    So good to reconnect, Roy, and thanks for the review. I've been working on my personal ministry, ComeAway. (Hospitality - based on Matthew 11:28-30.) Setting up my home and property as a 'spiritual retreat' for church/community/family/friends to come together - for studies, prayer, meditation ? and recreation - ice-cream socials, pool parties, barbecues and the like.
