@Sheba, Long drive back late yesterday. There was a lot of ventilation and people ordering out wore masks. Had to return for my 2nd Covid Vaccine today. This shot hurt a little more and my arm hurts a little more. No trails today but maybe in a few days.
Oz sounds like it has a a lot of weather variety. Not sure how it happened but I watched some of the weather channel .
Will have to try the Hemp oil, have you tried it? and like the lemon article.

Sorry I did not say Happy Birthday to your Father. Hope your Father was able to send a sign.
I know it was a hard day for you.

Misty
Johnny Mathis

Look at me, I’m as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I’m clingin’ to a cloud
I can’ t understand
I get misty, just holding your hand
Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
I get misty, whenever you’re near
You can’t see that you’re leading me on?
And it’s just what I want you to do
Don’t you notice how hopelessly I’m lost
That’s why I’m following you
On my own
When I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I’m too misty, and too much in love
Too misty
And too much
In love
Look at me

Wonderful! Wonderful!
Johnny Mathis

Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea
And we breathe in the cool salty air
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
Then your lips cling to mine
It’s wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill
And we gaze at the earth and the sky
I turn to you and you melt in my arms
There we are, darling, only you and I
What a moment to share
It’s wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
The world is full of wondrous things it’s true
But they wouldn’t have much meaning without you
Some quiet evening I sit by your side
And we’re lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I’m aware of the treasure that I own
And I say to myself
It’s wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
And I say to myself
It’s wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love

A Certain Smile
Song by Johnny Mathis

A certain smile, a certain face
Can lead an unsuspecting heart on a merry chase
A fleeting glance can say so many lovely things
Suddenly you know why my heart sings
You love awhile and when love goes
You try to hide the tears inside with a cheerful pose
But in the hush of night exactly like a bittersweet refrain
Comes that certain smile to haunt your heart again
But in the hush of night exactly like a bittersweet refrain
Comes that certain smile to haunt your heart again

It’s Not for Me to Say
Song by Johnny Mathis

It’s not for me to say, you love me
It’s not for me to say, you’ll always care
Oh, but here for the moment, I can hold you fast
And press your lips to mine, and dream that love will last
As far as I can see, this is heaven
And speaking just for me, it’s ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow with every passing day
Or we may never meet again, but then it’s not for me to say
And speaking just for me, it’s ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow with every passing day
Or we may never meet again, but then it’s not for me to say

Cycle of Life

While we are on earth, we are all human beings in different phases of our lives and soul development.

As we walk through the world, the people we encounter appear so different from one another. We see babies, old men, pregnant women, and teenaged boys. We know couples on the verge of marriage and lonely widows. We interact with toddlers and the terminally ill. As different as each person seems, they are all living the human experience. They are just at different places in the cycle that begins with birth and ends with death. Every phase of the cycle of life has its gifts and its challenges. Each stage is temporary and ultimately gives way to a new phase. This ephemeral quality makes each phase precious, because it will never last.

One of the wonderful qualities possessed by babies and young children is that they are unaware that a cycle of life even exists. They simply are present to wherever they happen to be right now, and they don’t give much thought to the past or future. Being around them reminds us of the joy that comes from living fully in the moment. On the opposite end of life’s cycle are our elderly role models. They are a reminder that each phase of life should be treasured. Time does pass, and we all change and grow older.

Being aware of the cycle of life and our place in it makes us wiser. As we develop a true appreciation for the phase we are in, we can savor it more. A new mother going through a difficult time with her infant can more easily embrace her challenges because she knows that her child will grow up, and she will long for this time again. Difficult and challenging periods are inevitable, but – like everything that is a part of the cycle of life — they are temporary. When we are fully engaged with life, we get to savor and grow from each phase, and we are ready for the next one when it arrives. Fully embracing wherever you are in the cycle of life is the very essence to happiness. 😎💕
