“Fame”
(from “Fame” soundtrack)

Baby, look at me
And tell me what do you see?
You ain’t seen the best of me yet
Give me time, I’ll make you forget
The rest

I’ve got more in me,
And you can set it free
I can catch the moon in my hand
Don’t you know who I am?
Remember my name

Fame
I’m gonna live forever
I’m gonna learn how to fly high
I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry

Fame
I’m gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
Fame
I’m gonna live forever
Baby, remember my name

Remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember

Baby, hold me tight,
‘Cause you can make it right
You can shoot me straight to the top
Give me love and take all I got
To give

Baby, I’ll be tough,
Too much is not enough,
No
I can ride your heart ’til it breaks
Ooh, I got what it takes

Fame
I’m gonna live forever
I’m gonna learn how to fly high
I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry

Fame
I’m gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
Fame
I’m gonna live forever
Baby, remember my…

Remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember

Fame
I’m gonna live forever
I’m gonna learn how to fly high
I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry

Fame
I’m gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
Fame
I’m gonna live forever
Baby, remember my name

Remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, remember

Remember my name

Fame
I’m gonna live forever
Fame
I’m gonna learn how to fly high
I feel it coming together
Fame
People will see me and cry

Fame
I’m gonna make it to heaven
Fame
Light up the sky like a flame
Fame
I’m gonna live forever
Fame
Baby, remember my name

Fame
I’m gonna live forever
Fame
I’m gonna learn how to fly high
I feel it coming together
Fame
People will see me and cry
Fame
I’m gonna make it to heaven

Valerie – Amy Winehouse

Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things of what you’re doing
In my head I paint a picture
Since I’ve come home
Well, my body’s been a mess
And I miss your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Oh, won’t you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don’t you come on over, Valerie?
Valerie
Did you have to go to jail?
Put your house out up for sale?
Did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn’t catch a tan,
Hope you find the right man
Who’ll fix it for you
Are you shopping anywhere?
Change the color of your hair
And are you busy?
Did you have to pay that fine
That you were dodging all the time?
Are you still dizzy?
Since I’ve come home
Well, my body’s been a mess
And I miss your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Oh, won’t you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don’t you come on over, Valerie?
Valerie
Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things of what you’re doing
In my head I paint a picture
Since I’ve come home
Well, my body’s been a mess
And I miss your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Oh, won’t you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don’t you come on over, Valerie?
Valerie
Why don’t you come on over, Valerie?

It’s an absolutely gorgeous day in Florida. Sunny, temps in the mid/upper 80s with a touch of humidity. Our rain chances will not happen before Saturday. As I said before, I just hope we get enough rain to erase the drought situation and maybe a little extra for later.

Hubby is now ready for his first shot. We have two pages of medical information to complete. The County supposedly sends the e-mails out daily. But I wonder if they do a mass e-mailing on Fridays only. I really do not mind waiting. I would rather be safe than sorry later. That way, we will have better answers to our many questions.

Tomorrow is Trivia. Still not sure if there is a game. I think those that show up week after week on our thread, really enjoy the conversation and the gifs.

On your dad’s birthday, you may want to send him one of those balloons that seem to float right to the heavens when you let go.

I have not seen the spoonbill since the fight raising the wings on both birds. The other was a stork who felt that the home was his.

Loving What You Hate

Hatred cannot help but be transformed in the presence of love.

Hatred can be irrational, and it has a greater impact on the individual who hates than the person or object being hated. Yet overcoming hatred is difficult because hatred reinforces itself and causes greater enmity to come into being. The most powerful tool one can use to combat hatred is love. Deciding to love what you hate, whether this is a person, situation, or a part of yourself, can create a profound change in your feelings and your experience. There is little room for anger, dislike, bitterness, or resentment when you are busy loving what you hate. The practice of loving what you hate can transform and shift your emotions from hatred to love because there is no room for hatred in a space occupied by love.

Granted, it is difficult to forgo judging someone, but you can love your enemy, and seek the good in situations that seem orchestrated to cause you pain or anger. In deciding to love what you hate, you become one less person adding negativity to the universe. On a simple level, loving what you hate can help you enjoy your life more. On a more complex level, loving what you hate sets you free because you disengage yourself from the hatred that can weigh down the soul. Responding with love to people radiating hatred transmutes their negative energy. You also empower yourself by not letting their negativity enter your personal space. Rather than lowering yourself to the level of their hatred, you give the other person an opportunity to rise above their feelings and meet you on the field of love.

Gandhi once said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Loving what you hate sends a positive, beautiful energy to people while spreading peace and harmony throughout the planet. Instead of reinforcing hatred, you become an advocate for love. Hatred responds to hate by causing anguish, but hatred cannot help but be transformed in the presence of love.
