When Doves Cry
Song by Prince

Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?
Dream, if you can, a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that’s so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I’m just too demanding
Maybe I’m just like my father, too bold
Maybe you’re just like my mother
She’s never satisfied (she’s never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You’ve got the butterflies all tied up
Don’t make me chase you
Even doves have pride
How could you just leave me standing
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I’m just too demanding
Maybe I’m just like my father, too bold
Maybe you’re just like my mother
She’s never satisfied (she’s never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that’s so cold? (A world that’s so cold)
Maybe I’m just too demanding (maybe, maybe I’m like my father)
Maybe I’m just like my father too bold (you know he’s too bold)
Maybe you’re just like my mother (maybe you’re just like my mother)
She’s never satisfied (she’s never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other? (Why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)
Don’t cry (don’t cry)

Beyond the Sea
Song by Bobby Darin

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailin’
Somewhere beyond the sea
She’s there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I’d go sailing
It’s far beyond the stars
It’s near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We’ll meet beyond the shore
We’ll kiss just as before
Happy we’ll be beyond the sea
And never again I’ll go sailing
I know beyond a doubt, ah
My heart will lead me there soon
We’ll meet (I know we’ll meet) beyond the shore
We’ll kiss just as before
Happy we’ll be beyond the sea
And never again I’ll go sailing
No more sailing
So long sailing
Bye bye sailing

This is for @71flowerchild as she drives down the road from Texas to New Mexico. 😎😘

Shadow Dancing
Song by Andy Gibb

You got me looking at that heaven in your eyes
I was chasing your direction
I was telling you no lies
And I was loving you
When the words are said, baby, I lose my head
And in a world of people, there’s only you and I
There ain’t nothing come between us in the end
How can I hold you when you ain’t even mine
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
All that I need is just one moment in your arms
I was chasing your affection
I was doing you no harm
And I was loving you
Make it shine, make it rain, baby I know my way
I need that sweet sensation of living in your love
I can’t breath when you’re away, it pulls me down
You are the question and the answer am I
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
And in this world of people there’s only you and I
There ain’t nothing come between us in the end
Ah, can I hold you when you ain’t even mine
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more

@shoelady60,

I made Lasagna and a salad for my husband I will put Hidden Valley Ranch on the Salad.
Thank you for your sweet post today. I appreciate you liking the images I thought no one
noticed them. This is how I think of our amazing Universes. I am the sky watcher. 😘😎

If you like to see other things let me know. You talk about your sister so much I feel like
I know her and your mother. I will say this Mom knows how to party remember the Mexico?
I am so glad you all went before the Pandemic. Enjoy the Hockey Game this evening.

@oodiebom

Hats off to you, you did everything right and had a little luck. Every once in a while things go your way like they are supposed to. Maybe this is a good sign for heading north.👏🙌

@taci

I know, it makes me wonder how she made it to 91. She does take vitamins but not 30 like your mom’s friend. I think she takes a multiple, a vitamin D and maybe one or two others. She does eat a clove of fresh garlic every other day. And she loves cheese. She is the longest living in her whole family. My dad died at 54 and my stepdad at 87 so she has also buried two husbands. At under 5′ and maybe 100 lbs., she is a strong woman.

@sheba2011

Sheba, you are so funny, I will let my sister know she has a fan in Oz!💗

Glad your brother has no side effects and hope the same for your mom and niece.🤞 Not sure what time my sister is getting her shot so, with the time difference, I will probably wait until tomorrow to check on her.

Your pictures last night of the sky/planets/stars are just too gorgeous! I looked at them at least three times today. You are an artist.👩‍🎨👋✨ I appreciate all that you do here.🥰

Did a little more painting today and nearing the end, yay! Our weather sounds like yours so I will make some soup for dinner. Last week sweating, this week chilly. Cool tail wags to Poppy from Jake.🐕

@toberkins,

No worries this is a fast moving thread and it will not matter. I am so glad you now know
how to post a new thread. 😎🌹

Thanks again Sheba2011. Well I think I was successful posting a new thread. But, now how do I delete my previous entry in your thread? Is it possible to delete it? Thank you!

@toberkins,

You are not a pest. I don’t mind helping you with anything. I have seen your name for
years in the Community. Feel free to post on this thread. I hope I did not sound mean
that is not my forte. 😎🌹 If I can help with anything I will try. It does take patience and
practice I have created many threads in the HSN Community and just to get it started
can be challenging. Good luck to you for trying.

Another great Thread to post on Friday Night is Trivia. A good group of Arcade Players
gather there and we just have fun. I think you are an Arcade players too.

Thank you Sheba2011 for understanding & for the nfo about how to post a new thread. I truly appreciate it & I will give it a try & I’ll try to move this Covid info too. It’s nice to converse with someone who is patient like you. So many times in the past with different computer things like this I haven’t been treated nicely like you have treated me. Blessings to you. Also, if I have any other questions about stuff like this, would you mind if I asked you? Not that I want to be a pest to you. By no means. Thank you.

Calling On Friends

When we include our friends in the full story of our life, we build authentic relationships in which we can be who we truly are.

When we are going through a difficult time, we may hesitate to call even our best friends because we don’t want to burden them with our troubles. This can be especially true if we’ve been going through a series of challenges, and we’re starting to feel as if we sound like a broken record. It is important to remember that at times like these our friends sincerely want to be there for us whenever they can. We can always check with them to make sure it’s a good time for them before we start talking, and if it’s not a good time, we can call back at another time, or call another friend.

We know for ourselves that when we have a good friend, we don’t want them to suffer alone when we are just a phone call away. We want them to call us and share their sorrows with us, as well as their joys, because this is what sharing a life through friendship is about. It is at our lowest points that we really need to rely on our friends without worrying that we are a burden. If you are feeling self-conscious about having a tough time, you can bring this fact into the conversation by acknowledging it. Chances are your friend will reassure you that she is happy to be there for you. In fact, rather than feeling taxed, most of us feel better when we have helped a friend simply by listening empathically while they share their feelings.

Without our friends, we would be hard pressed to get through the tough times and celebrate the good ones. If we leave our friends out of our process when the going gets tough, our friendships can begin to feel shallow. On the other hand, when we include our friends in the full story of our life — the good, the bad, and the ugly — we build authentic relationships in which we can be who we truly are. When we do this, we invite our friends to bring their whole selves to the relationship as well. AMEN 😎😘
