I am so sorry for all you are going through with your dad. I’m know it’s difficult when you have issues with your step-mother on top of everything else. That’s a long drive to make every Sunday, and then home again but I’m sure your dad appreciates what you are doing and you will be glad one day. My parents lived in another state and I couldn’t be there. He really did well through his whole illness (cancer) until the very end. I was able to go out and take care of him for one week. His lungs had to be drained every day but my sister who lived there did that. I’m so grateful he had her to take care of him on a regular basis. A few days after I left he really started to decline and passed away two weeks later. I’m so glad I was able to spend that time with him and help him. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss him. I’m glad you’re dad has you. Just remember to take care of yourself too. You have a lot going on.

@loaf, I love her music too. Wasn’t she great in Blues Brothers? Such a funny movie! 😀 I hope she gets better soon.

@Sheba

I take it you’re ready for a long vacation. Me too. I’m thinking one day I’ll take one of those cross-Atlantic cruises to Europe. I like Patricia Nash too. I have two of her handbags and I love them. One is 574-789 embroidered leather satchel with matching scarf in distressed red. It was a TS last year. The other one I have is a vintage style satchel in a tapestry. It has a black background with blue, peach and rose flowers and olive leaves in it. It is so pretty. It’s just like item 595-289 but different colors. I think I’ll get that newer one offered now too. It will be so pretty worn with softer colors. Did you get the TS or anything else from Patricia today?

“Think”

Think (think) think (think) think (think)
Think (think) think (think) think (think)

You better think (think) think about what you’re trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

Let’s go back, let’s go back, let’s go way on way back when
I didn’t even know you, you couldn’t have been too much more than ten. (just a child)
I ain’t no psychiatrist, I ain’t no doctor with degrees
It don’t take too much high IQ’s to see what you’re doing to me

You better think (think) think about what you’re trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom

There ain’t nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won’t (I won’t)
I was gonna change, but I’m not, if you keep doing things I don’t

You better think (think) think about what you’re trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

People walking around everyday, playing games, taking scores
Trying to make other people lose their minds.
Well be careful, you’re gonna lose yours.

Yeah, think (think) think about what you’re trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me) and I need you (don’t you know)
Without each other there ain’t nothing we can do

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom

There ain’t nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won’t (I won’t)
I was gonna change, but I’m not, if you’re doing things I don’t

You better think (think) think about what you’re trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me) and I need you (don’t you know)
Without each other there ain’t nothing we can do

(Think about – ah me, think about – ah me,
Think about – ah me, think about it)
(Think about – ah me, think about – ah me,
Think about – ah me, think about it)
(Think about – ah me, think about – ah me,
Think about – ah me, think about it)
(Think about – ah me, think about – ah me,
Think about – ah me, think about it)
You had better stop and think before you think, think!

Aretha Franklin
“(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman”

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired

Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But you’re the key to my peace of mind

‘Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along, to claim it
I didn’t know just what was wrong with me
‘Til your kiss helped me name it

Now I’m no longer doubtful of what I’m living for
And if I make you happy I don’t need to do more

‘Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Oh, baby, what you done to me?
You make me feel so good inside
And I just wanna be close to you
You make me feel so alive

You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Aretha Franklin
“Respect”

(oo) What you want
(oo) Baby, I got
(oo) What you need
(oo) Do you know I got it?
(oo) All I’m askin’
(oo) Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit)
Hey baby (just a little bit) when you get home
(just a little bit) mister (just a little bit)

I ain’t gonna do you wrong while you’re gone
Ain’t gonna do you wrong (oo) ’cause I don’t wanna (oo)
All I’m askin’ (oo)
Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit)
Baby (just a little bit) when you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)

I’m about to give you all of my money
And all I’m askin’ in return, honey
Is to give me my propers
When you get home (just a, just a, just a, just a)
Yeah baby (just a, just a, just a, just a)
When you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)

[instrumental break]

Ooo, your kisses (oo)
Sweeter than honey (oo)
And guess what? (oo)
So is my money (oo)
All I want you to do (oo) for me
Is give it to me when you get home (re, re, re ,re)
Yeah baby (re, re, re ,re)
Whip it to me (respect, just a little bit)
When you get home, now (just a little bit)

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take care, TCB

Oh (sock it to me, sock it to me,
sock it to me, sock it to me)
A little respect (sock it to me, sock it to me,
sock it to me, sock it to me)
Whoa, babe (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)
I get tired (just a little bit)
Keep on tryin’ (just a little bit)
You’re runnin’ out of foolin’ (just a little bit)
And I ain’t lyin’ (just a little bit)
(re, re, re, re) ‘spect
When you come home (re, re, re ,re)
Or you might walk in (respect, just a little bit)
And find out I’m gone (just a little bit)
I got to have (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)

Getting Back to What You Love

Nothing can fill the emptiness that remains in a space vacated by a passion that we have tossed aside.

There are times in life when we are committed to pursuing our passions. Every molecule in our body is focused on doing what we love. At other times, necessity and responsibility dictate that we put our dreams aside and do what needs to be done. It is during these moments that we may choose to forget what it is that we love to do. There are many other reasons for why we may leave our passions behind. A hobby may lose its appeal once we’ve realize it will never turn into our dream job. Someone important to us may keep telling us that our passions are childish and unsuitable – until we finally believe them.

Forgetting about what you love to do can be a form of self-sabotage. If you can forget about your dreams, then you never have to risk failure. But just because we’ve decided to ignore our passions doesn’t mean they no longer exist. Nothing can fill the emptiness that remains in a space vacated by a passion that we have tossed aside. Besides, life is too short to stop doing what you love, and it is never too late to rediscover your favorite things. If you gave up playing an instrument, painting, drawing, spending time in nature, or any other activity or interest that you once loved to do, now may be the time to take up that passion again. If you don’t remember what it is that you used to be passionate about, you may want to think about the activities or interests that you used to love or the dreams that you always wished you could pursue.

You don’t have to neglect your responsibilities to pursue your passions, and you don’t have to neglect your commitments to do what you love. When you make an effort to incorporate your interests into your life, the fire within you ignites. You feel excited, inspired, and fed by the flames that are sparked by living your life with passion for what you love.

Cherie,

I would take my time going through all those packages. I know your daughter can’t wait
to get back to her new bedroom. Are her friends coming over to welcome her back home?

I hope you do not have to see any fires going back home. I don’t want the children to see
that. Have fun at the Bay. ♥ Cherie I need to get over Mcpoopoo I am not doing well.
I am getting better every day I pray that her family is doing well. ♥ I love Italian Food. ♥
I remembered to eat before meds. 🙂 Been having a headache at night. Having problems
posting and signing in. I better copy this. LOL! Have a great day Cherie. 🙂 Kittengirl is the
the next birthday girl. 🙂

@loaf,

Thank you for letting me know about Miss Franklin I will do a gallery of her music. ♥

Here is a picture of your girl. Viva France. ♥

Have a great day Loaf and I know it is hard to get in. I miss you. 🙂 I am missing Mcpoopoo and I
think I may need a little help in that dept. I will be fine with so much going on I am trying.
