Let It Go
Idina Menzel

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I’m the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I’ve tried
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don’t care what they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can’t get to me at all
It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I’m free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You’ll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never going back, the past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
When I’ll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

@xango,

I am so glad you are feeling better. I still have waves and they come and go.

I miss my father very much a year is too long. ✨

Let’s start baking. 😜

Ave Maria – Diana Ross

Ave maria
Gratia plena
Maria
Gratia plena
Maria
Gratia plena
Dominus, tecum
Ave, ave dominicus
Benedicta tu
Et benedictus
Et benedictus
Fructus ventris tui jesus
Ave maria
Maiden mild
Ah listen to a maidens prayer
For thou canst hear amid the wild
‘Tis thou
‘Tis thou can’t save amid despair
We slumber safely ’til the morrow
Though e’en by men outcast reviled
Oh maiden
See a maiden sorrow
Oh mother hear a suppliant child
Ave maria

Club Sheba Holiday Edition

No worries I will repost my songs for the Holidays✨

@sheba2011

Hi, my friend, and thank you for all the kind words and thoughts.🥰 My husband’s tests, although not perfect, are just fine for his age and no change from 3-4 years ago.😊 Whew!! So relieved no new problems with the heart. Thank goodness no bypass again. We will definitely have a glass of wine this evening.🍷🍷

My BIL is not doing well.😪 He has sepsis and acute kidney failure. According to SIL, he is in stable condition. They are going to give him a few dialysis treatments to give the kidney a rest. Have no idea how long he will be in the hospital.

Sending hugs to you and Poppy🤗, enjoy your evening and I will toast you with my wine and cake!!💗✨

Good Afternoon Sheba,  I woke up to a full sunny sky, bright and Blue with no clouds.  How is your day going, I hope you are staying warm, that fireplace must be wonderful.

Yesterday I obtained a little more energy after taking a long break and rearranged my baking utensils  and machines. One good thing about this house is a large kitchen.  I cleared off room in the back counter and placed the kitchen Aid, food processor, blender etc.  Containers with all the utensils from whisks, spatula, measuring cups etc all at eye sight for convenience baking.

Yes we all do miss our families this time of year.  Those who are no longer with us and grateful for those who are.  This weekend hubby will help me to take down huge  containers with Christmas decorations in the garage.  And then I should start some decorating, just need to tweak some of the wreaths I made in the past years. 
Enjoy your day Sheba,  and I am still smiling from your good news😊😊😊😊😊🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌻🌻🌻🌻
 

Letting Go of Perfection

Life becomes much more interesting once we let go of our quest for perfection and aspire for imperfection instead.

It is good to remember that one of our goals in life is to not be perfect. We often lose track of this aspiration. When we make mistakes, we think that we are failing or not measuring up. But if life is about experimenting, experiencing, and learning, then to be imperfect is a prerequisite. Life becomes much more interesting once we let go of our quest for perfection and aspire for imperfection instead.

This doesn’t mean that we don’t strive to be our best. We simply accept that there is no such thing as perfection — especially in life. All living things are in a ceaseless state of movement. Even as you read this, your hair is growing, your cells are dying and being reborn, and your blood is moving through your veins. Your life changes more than it stays the same. Perfection may happen in a moment, but it will not last because it is an impermanent state. Trying to hold on to perfection or forcing it to happen causes frustration and unhappiness.

In spite of this, many of us are in the habit of trying to be perfect. One way to nudge ourselves out of this tendency is to look at our lives and notice that no one is judging us to see whether or not we are perfect. Sometimes, perfectionism is a holdover from our childhood — an ideal we inherited from a demanding parent. We are adults now, and we can choose to let go of the need to perform for someone else’s approval. Similarly, we can choose to experience the universe as a loving place where we are free to be imperfect. Once we realize this, we can begin to take ourselves less seriously and have more fun. Imperfection is inherent to being human. By embracing your imperfections, you embrac
Life becomes much more interesting once we let go of our quest for perfection and aspire for imperfection instead. Amen! ✨✨
