“Wouldn’t It Be Nice”

Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn’t have to wait so long
And wouldn’t it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong

You know it’s gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through

Happy times together we’ve been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldn’t it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn’t be a single thing we couldn’t do
We could be married (we could be married)
And then we’d be happy (and then we’d be happy)

Wouldn’t it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldn’t it be nice

Beach Boys
“Kokomo”

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego,
baby why don’t we go,
Jamaica

Off the Florida Keys
there’s a place called Kokomo
That’s where you wanna go
to get away from it all
Bodies in the sand,
tropical drink melting in your hand
We’ll be falling in love
to the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo Montego,
baby why don’t we go
Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo,
we’ll get there fast
and then we’ll take it slow
That’s where we wanna go,
way down in Kokomo.

Martinique, that Monserrat mystique…

We’ll put out to sea
and we’ll perfect our chemistry
By and by we’ll defy
a little bit of gravity
Afternoon delight,
cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye,
give me a tropical contact high
Way down in Kokomo

Port au Prince, I wanna catch a glimpse…

Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo
Now if you wanna go to get away from it all
Go down to Kokomo

Having It Easy

Everyone must overcome difficulties, and everyone has been granted a distinctive set of talents with which to do so.

Our lives are an exercise in facing challenges. We dream the grandest of dreams as youngsters only to discover that we must cultivate copious inner strength and determination in order to meet our goals. Our hard work does not always yield the results we expect. And it is when we find ourselves frustrated by the trials we face or unable to meet our own expectations that we are most apt to take notice of those individuals who appear to accomplish great feats effortlessly. Some people’s lives seem to magically fall into place. We can see the blessings they have received, the ease with which they have attained their desires, their unwavering confidence, and their wealth. But, because we can never see the story of their lives as a whole, it is important that we refrain from passing judgment or becoming envious.

Throughout our lives, we glimpse only the outer hull of others’ life experiences, so it’s tempting to presuppose that the abundance they enjoy is the result of luck rather than diligent effort. In a small number of cases, our assumptions may mirror reality. But very few people “have it easy.” Everyone must overcome difficulties and everyone has been granted a distinctive set of talents with which to do so. An individual who is highly gifted may nonetheless have to practice industriously and correct themselves repeatedly in order to cultivate their talents. Their myriad accomplishments are more likely than not the result of ongoing hard work and sacrifice. You, no doubt, have natural abilities that you have nurtured and your gifts may be the very reason you strive as tirelessly as you do. Yet others see only the outcome of your efforts and not the efforts themselves

Our intellects, our hearts, and our souls are constantly being tested by the universe. Life will create new challenges for you to face each time you prove yourself capable of overcoming the challenges of the past. What you deem difficult will always differ from that which others deem difficult. The tests you will be given will be as unique as you are. If you focus on doing the best you can and making use of the blessings you have been granted, the outcome of your efforts will be a joyous reflection of your dedication.

Cherie,

What about the Incredibles? That is a great Movie and the whole family can see it.
I have the first Movie on DVD my kids saw the first one made now this is the second.
It is breaking box-office records and yes I saw it too this summer. 🙂

The stuff going on makes me a wee bit nervous but I hope we all will be alright. I better
finish up before things start happening again so far so good. I just logged on maybe
20 minutes ago. I will come up with another movie later this evening. 🙂

I have heard of the water and I may give it a try I am a lot like your hubby I will try anything
once. Cherie if it works I will continue. I am loving Andrew Lessman. ♥ Enjoy this with
your hubby. 🙂

@loaf,

You are missed but I know you are having a great time. Shine on Loaf. ♥ Stay cool as we
are very hot here. Welcome to Indian Summer. 🙂 Hope the grandchildren are having
a great summer. ♥

Oh Sheba …. These spammers are too much, I barely got onto this thread when they started up again!!! Ahh, Jurassic …. Great movie suggestion, we wanted to see it, but probably too scary for the kids. I think I just thought of some Super Hero’s that will watch the posse while we go grab a bit & see that movie! Sheba you’re Brilliant!! More great food for thought and a Great movie suggestion for the kids in the morning with breakfast. Love our nails, they really got messed up on the boats & swimming in the ocean water. We go back out on the boat Thursday for a about 3 days. OH, Before I forget, Cherie is thinking of trying out something new. Already did Message, Cool Sculpting, & YOGA (NO). Has anyone started drinking Hydrogen water. My Hubby just calls all my ideas “GIMMICKS”, but he will try something once I get it going. Glad Your Mom & Family are ALL safe in their travels too. Yes, so happy for the kids & the coach, and a Salute to the Taiwan Seal who lost his life helping to save them. Take care Sheba♥ …. Take Care ALL!!!

Enjoy the show. Kids.
