Chances Are
Johnny Mathis

Chances are ’cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view
Chances are you think that I’m in love with you
Just because my composure sort of slips
The moment that your lips meet mine
Chances are you think my heart’s your Valentine
In the magic of moonlight when I sigh, hold me close, dear
Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes
Guess you feel you’ll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good
Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes
Guess you feel you’ll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good
The chances are your chances are awfully good

Club Sheba

@sheba2011

Not sure if there is a game tomorrow. The Arcade has been down all week and doesn’t seem to be in a repair mode. I sent a note to the Mods to see if they could find out. Once in the Arcade and you play a game you cannot move to other areas. That includes the Rewards Store, Community, etc,, I thought it may be due to the snowstorm and high winds, but as far as I can see most have their electricity. People are really feeling horrible without their games. I assume the Team may be working from home but not sure. While in Community, Customer Service, saw a post from Pitman. I assume he is OK and just too busy for us at the moment. When the days get a little longer, maybe he will rejoin us.

I took another day off from the closet. The water was turned off and thus I decided to take it easy. Hubby’s closet is very difficult. There is a smell in there that I have no idea what it is or what caused it. Not sure if it’s shoes or something else. I cannot continue the MB until the closet smells better than springtime. And to make matters worse, hubby lost his sense of smell. Tastebuds returned, hoping the nose will do the same. We will be making a trip to Costco tomorrow and will look for a good cleaner for the rug as well as the wood. Masks come in handy.

Really enjoyed Tony Bennett. We saw him live on Cape with his Daughter when he was celebrating his 90th birthday. He belt out a song then and I see he is still going strong today. Also Lady GaGa is good as well. In the beginning, I was not enlightened, but now, oh my, that lady can belt out a song. Her rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner” was beautiful. She sang with heart and soul.

Super Bowl Sunday will be at home with the doggies. I hope that Jerry and I have slightly sore left arms. See, it is 7:15 PM in Florida. I am in lump mode.

Sheba, you are such a strong, good person. Thank you for all you do and for being you.

Hi Poppy

Amy

@Sheba, The Humane Society line that I called said I need a picture of car make, model and Lic plate and even his picture. He’s in the area nearby so I went and waited yesterday for a bit and I will go there now and then until I see him and then wait it out with phone camera. Now I know what to do.
Sorry you had asthma attack, sounds awful. Maybe mask up when you go back. I am adapting to the mask and gloves for all sorts of things like cleaning and even handling things from my Mothers place, since she was covid positive.
Regarding the reddish colored Lab picture, a dog like this was vividly in my dream. I have allergies and do not have any pets. Love them, but in the house its too much.
Take Care all!
Shout outs to Shoelady, Oddie, and all!

@sheba2011

Good afternoon to you. I am so very glad to hear you are fine. I think with your problem in the closet and my problem in the closet, we both need to stay out of closets!!!😮🤣

My husband does not have asthma but our doctor gave him one when he had covid. He hasn’t used it much but does take it when he exercises. Just a precaution until he feels 100%.

Went to the grocery store today and not doing much except cooking dinner. Still have to eat through all our messes. There was a very, very complimentary article in our local paper today about Patrick and how he can do it all. I hope he does it all on Sunday.

Jake going for his spa treatment tomorrow. I will probably go see mom and sis on Saturday, weather permitting. Sending hugs and kisses (covid style) to you and Poppy.💕🌹

@ddshoppy,

Enjoy the day with your granddaughter. I hope all is well hope to see you in Trivia. 😎
That is tomorrow night. 🤣

You can pull this look off living in S. California. 😘

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.

@kittengirl,

Be well in California sending Kitty Hugs. 😘😎

@Cherie,

Always in my heart. 💕😘Just stay safe in S. California I miss the children.

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the burgh’😘😎I wrote a long post and it went poof.

All I was saying is I had an Asthma Attack cleaning a small closet. I was wheezing
and could not catch my breath and I felt nauseous . I stayed cool and grabbed my inhaler
I was fine my kids face time me. Today I went back and throw everything out of that
small closet. There it sits at the curb for trash day. I don’t know what was in those
clothes and I don’t care they are gone.

I see you and hubby were busy yesterday as well. I tell you there is always something.
I hope you enjoy your mom and sister weather permitting. 😘😎

Here is to much better days to come. 😘

@71flowerchild,

Missing you and the fur babies. Please be safe in Texas. 💕😘

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California. 😘😎Taci you are doing well handling your mother’s
Estate. My heart goes out to you. Those waves comes and goes.

Taci you said you dreamed about the dog I posted yesterday do you have a fur baby
on the mind? I hope you see that person that mishandled that poor pooch. I would
have punched him if I could. Taci just kidding but I would have reported him on the spot.

Thank you for stepping up you did the right thing. Taci I hope you can get out and see
some sunshine if you have it. 🤣I had an Asthma attack cleaning out a small closet
yesterday and I was sick for a little bit. I am fine now.

I can’t walk Poppy the long way we have snow and then some. I let Poppy run as much
as he wanted in the backyard with his playmate Nora. 😘😎

I hope you see beautiful things along the trails. 😘😎

@oodiebom,

Good day in Florida I hope you are feeling fine and good luck in getting organized.
Oodie I was cleaning out a closet I rarely go in I was throwing out things I did not need
well I must have stirred something because I went into full Asthma Attack. I mean I was
wheezing and felt nauseas. I closed that door fast and found my inhaler. I do not have
Asthma but my doctor every once in a while gives me an inhaler because I have been
known for it to happen on rare occasions yesterday was one of those occasions.

I had to keep a cool head my kids face-timed me and I was fine. Hubby came home in
the nick of time and we are spending the weekend getting everything out of this small
space and taking it out of the house. 😎Hey stuff happens. I am fine now but I sure did
feel like crappo last night.

Here is to a much better day. 😘😎I hope your husband is doing well too.

These days will come soon. 😘
