Golden Years
Song by David Bowie

Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Don’t let me hear you say life’s taking you nowhere
Angel
Come get up, my baby
Look at that sky, life’s begun
Nights are warm and the days are young
Come get up, my baby
There’s my baby, lost that’s all
Once I’m begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up, my baby
Last night they loved you
Opening doors and pulling some strings
Angel
Come get up, my baby
In walked luck and you looked in time
Never look back, walk tall, act fine
Come get up, my baby
I’ll stick with you, baby, for a thousand years
Nothing’s gonna touch you in these golden years
Gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up, my baby
Some of these days, and it won’t be long
Gonna drive back down where you once belonged
In the back of a dream car twenty foot long
Don’t cry, my sweet, don’t break my heart
Doing all right, but you gotta get smart
Wish upon, wish upon, day upon day, I believe, oh Lord
I believe all the way
Come get up, my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years
There’s my baby, lost that’s all
Once I’m begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up, my baby
Don’t let me hear you say life’s taking you nowhere
Angel
Come get up, my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years
I’ll stick with you, baby, for a thousand years
Nothing’s gonna touch you in these golden years
Gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop

China Girl
Song by David Bowie

Oh, little China girl
Oh, little China girl
I couldn’t escape this feeling with my China girl
I feel a wreck without my little China girl
I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder
Saw these stars crashing
I’m a mess without my little China girl
Wake up in the morning, where’s my little China girl?
I hear her heart is beating, loud as thunder
I saw these stars crashing down
I’m feeling tragic like I’m Marlon Brando
When I look at my China girl
And I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China girl
I stumble into town
Just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It’s in the white of my eyes
My little China girl
You shouldn’t mess with me
I’ll ruin everything you are
You know
I’ll give you television
I’ll give you eyes of blue
I’ll give you a man who wants to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China girl says
“Oh, baby, just you shut your mouth”
She says, “Ssh”
She says “Ssh”
She says
She says
And when I get excited
My little China girl says
“Oh, baby, just you shut your mouth”
And when I get excited
My little China girl says
“Oh, baby, just you shut your mouth”
She says, “Ssh”
She says
Oh, little China girl
Oh, little China girl
Oh, little China girl
Oh, little China girl

Heroes
Song by David Bowie

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And I, I’ll drink all the time
‘Cause we’re lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we’re lovers, and that is that
Though nothing will keep us together
We could steal time just for one day
We can be heroes for ever and ever
What d’you say?
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We’re nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we’re lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day

Under Pressure
Song by David Bowie and Queen

Mm-noom-ba-deh
Doom-boom-ba-beh
Doo-boo-boom-ba-beh-beh
Pressure pushin’ down on me
Pressin’ down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that brings a building down
Splits a family in two, puts people on streets
Mm-ba-ba-beh, mm-ba-ba-beh
Dee-day-da, ee-day-da
That’s okay
That’s the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watchin’ some good friends screamin’, “Let me out”
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets
Da-da-da, mm-mm
Da-da-da-ba-bum
Okay
Chippin’ around, kick my brains ’round the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Ee-doh-ba-buh, ee-da-ba-ba-bop
Mm-bo-bop, beh-lup
People on streets, ee-da-dee-da-day
People on streets, ee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da
It’s the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, “Let me out”
Pray tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high
Pressure on people, people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on the fence but it don’t work
Keep comin’ up with love but it’s so slashed and torn
Why, why, why?
Love
Insanity laughs under pressure we’re breaking
Can’t we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can’t we give love that one more chance?
Why can’t we give love, give love, give love, give love
Give love, give love, give love, give love?
‘Cause love’s such an old-fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

Fame
Song by David Bowie

Fame (fame) makes a man take things over
Fame (fame) lets him lose hard to swallow
Fame (fame) puts you there where things are hollow
Fame (fame)
Fame not your brain it’s just the flame
That puts your change to keep you sane (sane)
Fame (fame)
Fame (fame) what you like is in the limo
Fame (fame) what you get is no tomorrow
Fame (fame) what you need you have to borrow
Fame (fame)
Fame nein it’s mine is just his line
To bind our time it drives you to crime (crime)
Fame (fame)
Could it be the best could it be?
Really be really babe
Could it be my babe could it babe?
Could it babe could it babe?
Is it any wonder I reject you first
Fame (fame) fame fame
Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool
Fame (fame)
Fame bully for you chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on pain
(Pain)
Fame
Fame fame fame fame fame
Fame fame fame fame fame
Fame fame fame fame fame
Fame fame fame fame fame
Fame fame fame
Fame
What’s your name?

Nature Boy
Song by David Bowie and Massive Attack

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy
And sad of eye
But very wise
Was he
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing
You’ll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved in return

Good morning Peeps enjoy your Sunday and stay safe. ✨✨

David Bowie RIP in heaven. ✨🌹

@loaf,

Enjoy your Sunday wishing you a great new week. 😎✨🌹

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida. ✨ Oz is not too bad today. How are you feeling?
The Chili turned out delicious hubby is loving it. 😎

I want to talk to my cousin in the hospital she is not up to talking to family just yet.
I can’t blame her plus she is on so much medicine. I know she is thinking of her husband
she lost in the accident. I wish I were in Tennessee with her but only one visitor at a time
due to Covid-19 which is on the uptick in certain States. 🌹😘

I am sending a beautiful plant to her just to lift her spirits. 🌹

I hope your plants are doing nicely. Hey we are in winter here in OZ no plants outside for me.😜

I hope you and your husband have a lovely day. 😎✨

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎✨Oodie I know you have a lot going on
with your home repairs.

Please get some rest as well and I hope your husband is doing alright. ✨

A little tea for you to enjoy with your Manuka Honey. 🌹

@sheba2011

I am wearing the new glasses as I use the keyboard and they are good. They were specifically made for driving, though I was told to wear them daily. I also have one for reading and doing puzzles. Cannot use the ones sold on HSN or the ones found on store shelves. The magnification does not help, everything is blurry. Getting Progressives didn’t work either. Seems when I looked up it was OK. But from the middle and going downward, unable to see period. The Ophthalmologist laughed when I mentioned this. He said that near sighted people seem to have this problem.

House is coming along. Backache is horrid. I find that 5 minutes of standing means at least 15 minutes of sitting. I absolutely refuse to take any form of aspirin and that includes Excedrin and Tylenol.

Good to know that Heidi will return sometime in the near future. Meanwhile would love to see some of her new items for HSN. As I said previously, I love her spontaneity and her laughter.

Well, tomorrow I will be going to MV (Motor Vehicles). My driver’s license is no longer compliant and it seems that this needs to be done now rather than later. I didn’t realize that this will be necessary to fly or take a cruise. I completed all the necessary forms on-line and just in case, have the necessary paperwork with me.

Like Shoelady, I usually have my mam in January. However, because of the workmen, had to cancel and will make the necessary arrangements after everything is done, overwith, etc..

Mr. Oodie is in lots of pain. I will be contacting our physician over the next couple of days. I just hope the day of his appointment, the workers will not be around. I also need to know if he will be able to head North. Right now his driving is limited to a 5 mile radius. That doesn’t give him much time behind the wheel, but our physician is extremely cautious. And, yes, I am scared. Driving 1350 miles and worrying that he could fall even with a walker or miss a step if in a wheelchair. He says it’s no problem, but I see differently.

Take care. Enjoy the moonlight. Temps here are in the upper sixties. No A/C or heat needed. House is comfortable. Temps at both houses North are in the low to mid 30s at night and it seems also during the day. Guess I will be tootalooing. Dishes in the sink are calling, “clean me.”

@taci,

Good morning in S. California I hope all is well there with the weather. ✨😎

Enjoy the hike I am going walking a mile with Poppy. I need to feel some fresh
air. 😎 Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

Sheba, thinking of your cousin and hope you can speak with her soon. Hiked yesterday and today. Yesterday I saw an acquaintance that i met on the trails this year. She told me she is 86 years old. Wow, she is doing great. The weather here has been great and it’s cold for us which I also like a lot. It was Northern CA that has some storms. Hope your relatives there are good.
You have so many relatives.

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. 😘🌹✨I am feeling somewhat better today. 😎
I had a nice chat with my brother and we laugh about his team the Raiders. 😜
My brother and his wife actually went to California a couple of weeks ago to a
Raiders Game which they won they had a great time and then flew back to Colorado.

I am so glad they won while they were in California my brother is a true fan.

My sister was trying to be a smarty pants about the game yesterday no worries I set her
straight it was all in fun as you know we have had a very sad week. This is the first time
any of us have had an actual laugh out loud moment. 💕

I hope your team wins today and have a great time this week out with your mother and family.
Very good idea.

I still have irons in the fire here in OZ.

Blowing a nice OZ hug to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘😎🌹

@sheba2011

Good evening to you. Had a busy but nice day today. Went to visit some friends in the afternoon and then we all went out to eat for my husband’s birthday.🎈 Stuffed to the brim with leftovers for tomorrow.😛

Read in our paper that Patrick broke some NFL records yesterday.👏👍 They are looking good for the playoffs. I think they get a bye week so they should be rested up.

I hope all is calm in Oz. You certainly need a easy week after the last.🤞 I’m getting ready to relax and watch the football/hockey games but wanted to give you a Sunday shout out.😀 Have a relaxing evening. Sending prayers and love.🙏💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening I am glad I checked back in. Happy Birthday to your husband. 🌹✨

What a day and your Hockey Team is ahead right as I type this post.

Hey enjoy yourself and I hope your team wins. 😎😘

@shoelady60,
A very Happy Birthday to Mr. Shoelady!

🎂🎉 🎂🎉 🎂🎉 🎂🎉 🎂🎉 🎂🎉 🎂🎉

@kittengirl,

Good day in California still and always will be in our thoughts and prayers Kitten. 🌹

Rich Girl
Song by Gwen Stefani/Featuring Eve

If I was a rich girl (na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
See, I’d have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
‘Cause I’d have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
Think what that money could bring
I’d buy everything
Clean out Vivienne Westwood
In my Galliano gown
No, wouldn’t just have one hood
A Hollywood mansion if I could
Please book me first-class to my fancy house in London town
All the riches baby, won’t mean anything
All the riches baby, won’t bring what your love can bring
All the riches baby, won’t mean anything
Don’t need no other baby
Your lovin’ is better than gold, and I know
If I was a rich girl (na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
See, I’d have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I’d have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
I’d get me four Harajuku girls to (uh huh)
Inspire me and they’d come to my rescue
I’d dress them wicked, I’d give them names (yeah)
Love, angel, music, baby
Hurry up and come and save me
All the riches baby, won’t mean anything
All the riches baby, won’t bring what your love can bring
All the riches baby, won’t mean anything
Don’t need no other baby
Your lovin’ is better than gold, and I know
Come together all over the world
From the hoods of Japan, Harajuku girls
What, it’s all love
What, give it up
What (shouldn’t matter, shouldn’t matter, shouldn’t matter, shouldn’t matter) what
Come together all over the world
From the hoods of Japan, Harajuku girls
What, it’s all love
What, give it up
What (shouldn’t matter, shouldn’t matter, shouldn’t matter, shouldn’t matter)
What happened to my life
Turned upside down
Chicks dat blew ya mind, ding, it’s the second round
(Original track and ting, mmm)
You know you can’t buy these things (no)
See Stefani and her L.A.M.B., I rock the fetish
People, you know who I am
Yes ma’am, we got the style that’s wicked
I hope you can all keep up
We climbed all the way from the bottom to the top
Now we ain’t gettin’ nothin’ but love
If I was rich girl (na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
See, I’d have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I’d have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

4 in the Morning
Song by Gwen Stefani

Waking up to find another day
The moon got lost again last night
But now the sun has finally had its say
I guess I feel alright
But it hurts when I think
When I let it sink in
It’s all over me
I’m lying here in the dark
I’m watching you sleep, it hurts a lot
And all I know is
You’ve got to give me everything
Nothing less cause
You know I give you all of me
I give you everything that I am
I’m handin’ over everything that I’ve got
‘Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don’t ever wanna have to go and give you up
Stay up till four in the morning and the tears are pouring
And I want to make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby if we’re gonna do it, come on do it right
All I wanted was to know I’m safe
Don’t want to lose the love I’ve found
Remember when you said that you would change
Don’t let me down
It’s not fair how you are
I can’t be complete, can you give me more?
And all I know is
You got to give me everything
And nothing less ’cause
You know I give you all of me
I give you everything that I am
I’m handin’ over everything that I’ve got
‘Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don’t ever wanna have to go and give you up
Stay up till four in the morning and the tears are pouring
And I want to make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby if we’re gonna do it, come on do it right
Oh please, you know what I need
Save all your love up for me
We can’t escape the love
Give me everything that you have
And all I know is
You got to give me everything
And nothing less cause
You know I give you all of me
I give you everything that I am
I’m handin’ over everything that I’ve got
‘Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don’t ever wanna have to go and give you up
Stay up till four in the morning and the tears are pouring
And I want to make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby if we’re gonna do it, come on do it right

@loaf,

Good day in your corner of the world. How is your New Year going so far? Wishing
you good health Loaf and I hope your family member is doing better. ✨🌹

Oz is cold today take care of the kids. 💕

@xango,

Good day in Florida I hope your temps are alright. 😎✨Oz is cold and we will have rain
later this evening.

I am making home-made Chili and I will make it spicy for my husband. 😘✨
I have some deli-beef hotdogs by Nathan that are really good as chilidog’s.

I am getting some rest my cousin is still in ICU so it is day by day. Prayers are wonderful
and helps so much. I have been on the phone all week long since that terrible weather
related accident now she has to plan her husband’s services. Xango that is just too much
for me to bear. 🌹

I did enjoy Oodie Trivia last night it took my mind off things in my life.

Hey enjoy your hubby and I am glad you are feeling better. I know it is nice he is off
on the weekend same here. 😎😎

@Sheba🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

Hello Sheba, our weather is warm during the day. Tonight I covered my plants, the same last night got down to 46. Tomorrow the temperature is suppose to be 77, no need to cover Tomorrow night.

Your cousin being in UCI is having the care she needs right now. Having nurses all round her, more so than in a private room.
And Sheba, you are a Leo ♌️ , strong, intelligent woman. The Lord knows just how much to place upon our shoulders.

Trivia last night was fun, Oodiebom’s hosting makes it fun.
The Full Moon is right in front of my window as I write this. It’s absolutely beautiful.
I hope you and Poppy will have a wonderful walk in the Moon light.

Thanks for the lovely gif, I can feel the gentle breeze coming from the window and the Dove has flown in for a visit. 😊

Be strong, take care.

@xango,

Thank you for your love and support. Xango in the space of one year I lost two aunts
two days apart in the same hospital my mother’s sister. My husband lost his brother
last year from cancer and his Uncle from Jacksonville passed this year. I could go on and on.

I am still standing and that is one of the reason I do this thread.

The hoopla tonight is my football team is the number one seed in the AFC West. 😎✨
Gwen’s song is the football anthem for sports. Just having a little fun.

You enjoy your evening and let me know how you feel. I have a lot of cars on my block
because people are having parties due to the Football win. I am going to look at the
Moon. 😘

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. ✨🌹I hope your back is not hurting from
putting the bed together again.

Oodie you did a nice job on hosting Trivia and you had a good crowd. I hope FBN135 reaches
out and let us know if he is alright. ✨ We are missing a lot of people in the HSN Community.

Oodie if you are out and about be careful. I am going to run some errands and just get
it done. Hubby is home today so I do have a Honey-Do List. 💋

@taci,

Good morning in S. California may this be a good day for hiking.

Taci how is your weather? My niece who lives in your City is in Colorado for
the next two weeks my sister her mom lives there. 😎💕

Just be careful on your Hike. 🌹

Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. Wishing you a nice and toasty day. ✨🌹

I will be making some home-made chili today on the spicy side for hubby. 💕

Today is Game Day for my team we need all the luck there is. 🌹

Our team and many in America are praying for the health of Pittsburgh Damar Hamlin.

I am going to make some errands run and then I am home. My cousin is about the same
so we are moving forward the prayers have all helped. Thank you for your support. ✨💕

How is your mom and sister? Blowing a hug to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘😎✨

@sheba2011

Good afternoon to you. Getting ready to watch the game. You can tell your brother I’m sorry but I’m all in for KC.🏈😊

Spent a few hours at mom’s today drinking tea and talking.☕ She never got out of bed until noon. That is half my day gone but mom has some crazy, troubled sleep patterns.😴 Some nights hardly any sleep and then it catches up. But all is good. I think we will have lunch one day next week.

Good luck to your team, looks like they may not have a first round playoff game at home with all the options flying around from Monday’s cancellation.😏 Wherever they play, they will win!👍🏆 Try to stay calm so hubby doesn’t throw you out of the room!😵😅

@shoelady60,

Funny my sister called me today right in the 4th quarter and said she loves the raiders. WHAT!

I know my brother loves the Raiders and we are cool. I told her when I get to Atlanta I am
coming in all my Chiefs Gear and I will be on her front lawn doing a Chief yell and then we
can fight it’s up to her. LOL! I just needed a little time today I have had a sad week this is
the first time I have felt normal. I am joking but I am going on her lawn in Chiefs Gear. 😎

Thank you so much for your support what a game hubby did not put me out of the TV
Room he understood I needed this. 💋Great Game.

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California I hope this post finds you doing well Kitten. 🌹✨

Enjoy your Saturday Peeps and keep warm. 🌹😎✨

@Sheba

Hello Sheba, have you been able to get some good rest? And how is your mom doing?
I hope you were able to see that beautiful Full Moon.

Today I made some lentils and rice, and had some real food since the 31st. Been just eating a little soup and mostly oatmeal. But not eating like before, just about 1/4 of what I eat before.
I pray for your cousin every night. And ask Saint Anthony to help her, and to help the doctor to find a way the help her.

It’s going to get down to the forties tonight, so I will need to cover my herbs.

See you in Trivia Tonight Sheba. Get some rest this weekend, and take care.

@xango,

I did see the moon last night and it was big and beautiful I can feel it when I stand
on my front porch. I love it. 😘✨🌹

So glad you are feeling a lot better your food sounds delicious. 🌹✨

I may rest a bit this weekend this has been one tough week.

Thank you for your prayers and especially from your family. 🌹

I am enjoying Trivia with Oodiebom tonight real fun game and a nice crowd. 😎🌹

@Oddiebom,

Good afternoon on the coast of Florida. Oodie we did the same thing today pick up
new specs. 😎😘💕I love mine and it done quick.

My headache is getting better so I am laying a little low today. ✨ I will see you tonight
in Trivia. 🌹😜

@sheba2011

I did purchase the Heidi Daus “tango dancers.” Could not resist. There are just a handful left. There is movement and also magnificent artistry. However, I could have sworn there were two choices. One in white faces and the other in black. Could be mistaken. Oh well. Would have purchased two. I hope she is planning to return to HSN. I do miss her jubilance. Brings out the best of us when she is on air. Very infectious. SSShh……Don’t tell everyone. I put it on hubby’s credit card……..Oh my……😇😇😃

During Trivia I will be putting the bed frame together and will try it out tonight. This is prior to the new bedding. I will take it apart so I can clean the mattress and the boxspring. I have an appointment with MV Monday afternoon to renew the license.

I love my frames for the new glasses. Well, truth be told, I love the ones I currently have and since they were still in stock ordered the same. Was the easiest pair I have ever purchased. Yeah….That’s over.

This weekend will be the beginning of our busy schedule. Electrician, maybe the roofer, plumber and cleaning freak. Will not head North until the house is back in order. We are looking at next month, weather permitting. Not sure of hubby’s surgery at this point. My heart will be in my mouth on the way home to New England. To say I am scared to death is an understatement.

Well, back to Trivia and the Arcade.

@oodiebom,

Heidi Daus will be back give it a little time. I don’t speak for her but I am in touch
some of her girls we are among them. 😘😎Oodie I brought so much on the
60% sale I was a bad girl. 💋

I love this. 😎🌹

I am sorry about your team last night I think the next one will be a winner. 😎✨

Blowing a hug to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘😎🌹

@sheba2011

I hope you are feeling better today, so much going on for the first week of the year.😕 Take it slow and easy. The rest will be there tomorrow, and the next day and next day. My heart breaks for your cousin.😥 I am still praying that she will be one strong woman in time.🙏💪

Big sigh of relief – mammogram went well today and no ultrasound like last year.😌👍 Just couldn’t wait to get out of there, you know the feeling. Was so happy I ran and did grocery shopping, which I hate, lol!

Hockey team falling apart, lots of injuries, oh well.🙄 After this weekend it is on to the playoffs for KC. Wishing them all the luck.🤞

Hugs to your house from mine.🤗💗

@shoelady60,

I am thrilled your Mammo went well today I know that feeling all too well. ✨
Lady once you get the all clear it is a great feeling. Congrats to you. 🌹

I think the test are one of the most important things women can do for themselves.

Thank you for the prayers for my cousin she is in a private room with her thoughts.
Now she has to bury her husband of 25 years. I said hello to her today she is still
heavily sedated from all the medicine she is on. We will know more as the week moves
forward.

Oz is cold tonight thank you my football team shout-out. ✨🌹So glad the young man
from the ‘burgh is getting better god bless him.

I am doing alright. ✨🌹

@kittengirl,

Good morning Kitten be well. ✨💕

Vacations

An aware traveler sees each new journey as an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of humanity.

As the technology of travel grows ever more refined, the world grows smaller. Whereas a journey of a hundred miles once took many days, we can now travel across the globe in mere hours. The four corners of the earth are accessible by plane, train, and ship, and there are few pleasures in life as soul-stirring and transformative as travel. In a new land, the simplest of joys can be profound—meditation takes on a new quality because the energy in which we are immersed is unfamiliar. Our sensory experiences are entirely novel. Yet the relative ease with which we can step out of our own culture in order to explore another means that we are ambassadors representing not only our own way of life but also the culture of the traveler. As a conscious citizen of the world, you can add value to the locales you visit while simultaneously broadening your own perspective.

A truly aware traveler sees each new journey as an opportunity to improve international relations, spread goodness, and gain a greater understanding of humanity. To immerse yourself in foreign cultures is to open your mind to fresh ways of being. Your natural curiosity can help you navigate the subtleties that define a culture. While you may not agree with all the traditions or laws of a country, abiding by them demonstrates that you understand and respect their value. Staying centered in another culture is often simply a matter of learning about your destination, being patient with yourself and others, and accepting that people may treat you as an example of your country’s attitudes. New worlds will open to you when you take part in the everyday life of a locale—the reality of a destination is in its markets, its streets, and its people.

Traveling presents a wonderful opportunity to practice being open-minded and grounded. The voyages you make help cultivate a worldwide community in which we as humans can acknowledge and appreciate our differences as much as we recognize and appreciate our similarities. Though you will eventually return home, the positive impression you leave behind will remain as a testament to the respect and amicability that marked your intercultural interactions. ✨✨AMEN!

This is how the moon looks in OZ it is calming me down as I let the light of the moon
soak into me. 😘😎

@loaf,

@xango,

How are you feeling today? I hope you have contacted your doctor and may have an
answer to your issues. ✨Just take your time.

Hey my cousin is alert and is award her husband did not make it. Cousin is heavily sedated
but she is making some progress. I want to thank you again for your prayers.

I have one for you that you get better and the issues are much to do about nothing. 😎✨🌹

Oz is alright today and I am walking to clear my head with Poppy.

@Sheba,

Hello Sheba, how are you doing today?
Thanks for the bear hugs, beautiful.
It was a cloudy day with some rain today.

I am glad your cousin is alert and making progress.
I will keep saying prayers for her and asking Saint Anthony for his help.

I do feel better today, and didn’t contact the doctor. I felt it not necessary, because of the combination of what I eat that day. And since I used to get really bad heartburn, I will be more careful what I eat now. Not quite 100 percent yet but getting there.

Sending prayers to you and your cousin.
Take care Sheba.

@xango

Hi and thank you for your posts. I am feeling better. Yesterday was a fluke that hasn’t happened since this allergy started. All I can do is take the antihistamines and keep popping every couple of hours until it dies down. Usually makes me very groggy and so yesterday I was totally wiped out. But I do remember meeting with the person who will be supervising the roof reconstruction. The next doctor’s appointment I will be asking for an Epi-Pen. That works faster, however, will need to go to the hospital where I can be supervised.

In many respects, my allergy is very similar to your symptoms. I can tolerate some sulfites. The problem is reading the ingredients on every label. I always stay away from the ones that I know cause havoc which includes preservatives, cinnamon, corn starch, corn syrup, molasses. The one item I purchased from Costco was a thing for the teeth that is made of plastic. Initially, my feeling was it would be OK since it was manufactured by GUM. No, it’s a man made plastic. So, never assume, read the label. And like you, the allergic reaction can last up to three days. Yep, those three days are gruesome. You with alka seltzer and me with Pepto. And one thing I need to do more often is on the repeat of items I like, I must still read the label on the back because invariably changes are made. I will end with, eat what you like, but limit the intake so there will be no more reaction.

@xango,

Thank you for the prayers and from everyone who may have said a prayer. ✨😘
Cousin is still under heavy sedation and the shock of losing her husband.
Our family is strong and we are going to be there for her. ✨My mother is upset.

Xango I am so glad you are feeling better you know your body better than anyone.
As long as you don’t have severe pain and you know what caused it you should be
fine. ✨✨

I am a little tired tonight as I did a wee bit too much. My trash day is tomorrow and I was
a busy girl today. 😎✨

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. ✨😎🌹Oodie how are you feeling today?
I know your hands are full but try not to do too much.

How is your husband doing? Pretty soon there will be banging and work being done
on your home to put it back together again. 😜😎Oodie I know you can’t wait.

My cousin is alert but medicated she knows about her husband. My family is strong and
we are all holding on she is still in ICU.

I am keeping very busy as our trash pick and recyclables is tomorrow due to the Holiday.

I am keeping busy to keep thing off my mind. Oodie the Moon was out last night and it
was beautiful. 😘💕 Here is to a good day for you.

@sheba2011

Really happy that your cousin is coming along. It will be a slow process and knowing she will be returning home without her best friend is really tough. On one hand I was hoping she wouldn’t be told until she was in recovery a bit longer. Then again, finding it out now, and with the support of family and friends, she will be OK. But, for some reason, I have a strong suspicion that she already knew.

A lot is happening. My new eyeglasses are ready and will pick them up tomorrow. I also need to renew my driver’s license and will do that as soon as I can. The electrician will be here Tuesday, so I need to do fast work on the MB and Bath. Also contacted our Insurance Company and will meet with them next week. And, yes, I have the directions. I also checked to see when Easter and Passover will be celebrated this year and it’s early. Sounds like Easter is the first Sunday in April and Passover begins right about the same time. If we need to return North, we will need to leave before the end of February/beginning of March. This is to beat the rush and the traffic congestion on all highways before the holidays. Guess there will be no rest in between before the long hike.

Went on line to Heidi’s website. The tango dancers have my eye. Incredible workmanship. The movement is so realistic. Have a great evening. Happy walking under the stars and moonlight.

@oodiebom

Hi, how are you feeling today? And how is your mouth, is it better?
I hope you are feeling better today.
I did read your post and left you a post last night.
I didn’t contact the doctor, since I started to feel better. Not quite 100 percent yet but getting there.
Getting me to a doctor is like pulling teeth.
Take care Oodie,

@taci,

Good morning in California please be careful if your weather patterns have changed.
Happy Trails and thank you for thinking of me and my family. 🌹

@Sheba, Hope your cousin continues to do well in her recovery.
What a bright happy hello for a happy Thursday. I am getting a head cold but hope to fend it off as best possible with lemon water, spices, etc…
Loved the walk away post and many others.

@taci,

I feel your pain with all the stress in the family and going in and out of the house feeding
animals my head is hurting and I am going to take a shower and some meds and call it
a night. I also have some calming tea. 💕

Fight it before it gets really bad. I see the weather in California is getting serious.
Stay safe and get some rest.

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. Good luck to your Hockey Team playing today. 😜✨
I am doing alright still shaken and upset about my cousin.

I know this is life. ✨Oz is beautiful today there is a chill in the air and I am fine with that. 😎

I am doing things one day at a time.

Blowing a hug to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘💕 Thank you for everything.

Worthiness

Our worth of being on the planet at this time cannot be judged as we are all worthy and essential to being here now.

The issue of worthiness may come up in many areas of our lives, as we ask, often unconsciously, whether we are worthy of success, love, happiness, and countless other things, from supportive relationships to a beautiful home. In the end, though, it all comes down to one thing: our willingness to claim our space in this life as humans on this planet at this time. When we accept our divinity, we no longer question whether we are worthy, because we know that we are meant to be here to fulfill a particular purpose, a purpose that no one other than us can fulfill.

There are no replacements who can take over and live our lives for us, no other person who has had the experiences we have had, who has access to the same resources and relationships, who carries the same message to share with the world. Our purpose may be large or small, and in most cases it is multi-leveled, with important actions taking place on the interpersonal level, as well as in terms of the work we do in the world. Small acts of kindness share the stage with large acts of sacrifice, and only through accepting and honoring our divinity can we know what we are called to do and when.

Ultimately, we are all equally, exactly, completely worthy of being here in this life. Moreover, we are all essential to the unfolding plan of which we are each one small, but important, part. If we suffer from low self worth, it is because we have lost track of understanding this truth, and allowing it to guide our actions in the world. Seeing ourselves as part of something larger, as beings called to serve, is the ultimate cure for feelings of unworthiness. In the end, it’s not about evaluating ourselves as worthy or unworthy, so much as it’s about accepting that we have been called here to serve and taking the steps required to listen and respond to what our lives are asking us to do. AMEN! ✨✨

La Vie En Rose
Song by Louis Armstrong

Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me, heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose
When you press me to your heart
I’m in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak, angels sing from above
Everyday words seem to turn
Into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose
