The Look of Love
Song by Dusty Springfield

The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your heart
Can’t disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well, it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited, waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You’ve got the look of love
It’s on your face
A look that time can’t erase
Be mine, tonight
Let this be just the start of so many nights like this
Let’s take a lovers vow and then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited, waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don’t ever go
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited, waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don’t ever go, don’t ever go
I love you so

This Guy’s In Love With You
Song by Herb Alpert

You see this guy?
This guy’s in love with you
Yes, I’m in love
Who looks at you the way I do?
When you smile, I can tell we know each other very well
How can I show you I’m glad I got to know you?
‘Cause I’ve heard some talk
They say you think I’m fine
Yes, I’m in love
And what I’d do to make you mine?
Tell me now, is it so?
Don’t let me be the last to know
My hands are shakin’
Don’t let my heart keep breakin’
‘Cause I need your love
I want your love
Say you’re in love
In love with this guy
If not, I’ll just die
Tell me now, is it so?
Don’t let me be the last to know
My hands are shakin’
Don’t let my heart keep breakin’
‘Cause I need your love
I want your love
Say you’re in love
In love with this guy
If not, I’ll just die

What the World Needs Now Is Love
Song by Jackie DeShannon

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some, but for everyone
Lord, we don’t need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last ’til the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some, but for everyone
Lord, we don’t need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheatfields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, Lord, if you want to know
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some, oh, but just for every, every, everyone

Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head
Song by B. J. Thomas

… Raindrops are falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
… So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn’t like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
… But there’s one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won’t defeat me, it won’t be long
Till happiness steps up to greet me
… Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying’s not for me
‘Cause I’m never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I’m free
Nothing’s worrying me
… It won’t be long till happiness steps up to greet me
… Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying’s not for me
‘Cause I’m never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I’m free
Nothing’s worrying me

Burt F. Bacharach / Hal David

A House Is Not a Home
Song by Luther Vandross

A chair is still a chair, even when there’s no one sittin’ there
But a chair is not a house and a house is not a home
When there’s no one there to hold you tight
And no one there you can kiss goodnight
Whoa, ohh, girl
A room is still a room, oh, even when there’s nothin’ there but gloom
But a room is not a house and a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart
Now and then I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it’s just a crazy game
When it ends, it ends in tears
Pretty little darling, have a heart, don’t let one mistake keep us apart
I’m not meant to live alone, turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs and turn the key
Oh, please be there, sayin’ that you’re still in love with me, yeah
I’m not meant to live alone, turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs and turn the key
Oh, please be there, still in love
I said still in love
Still in love with me, yeah
Are you gonna be in love with me?
I want you and need you to be, yeah
Still in love with me
Say you’re gonna be in love with me
It’s drivin’ me crazy to think that my baby
Couldn’t be still in love with me
Are you gonna be, say you’re gonna be
Are you gonna be, say you’re gonna be
Are you gonna be, say you’re gonna be
Well, well, well, well
Still in love, so in love, still in love with me?
Are you gonna be
Say that you’re gonna be
Still in love with me, yeah
With me, ohh
Still in love with me, yeah

What’s New Pussycat?
Song by Tom Jones

What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa
What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Pussycat, pussycat
I’ve got flowers and lots of hours to spend with you
So go and powder your cute little pussycat nose
Pussycat, pussycat, I love you, yes, I do
You and your pussycat nose
What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa
What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Pussycat, pussycat
You’re so thrilling and I’m so willing to care for you
So go and make up your big little pussycat eyes
Pussycat, pussycat, I love you, yes, I do
You and your pussycat eyes
What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa
What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Pussycat, pussycat
You’re delicious and if my wishes can all come true
I’ll soon be kissing your sweet little pussycat lips
Pussycat, pussycat, I love you, yes, I do
You and your pussycat lips (whoa whoa), you and your pussycat eyes (whoa whoa)
You and your pussycat nose

Burt Bacharach / Hal David

Walk On By
Song by Dionne Warwick

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe
That you don’t see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private ’cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by (don’t stop)
And walk on by (don’t stop)
And walk on by
I just can’t get over losing you
And so if I seem, broken and blue
Walk on by
Walk on by
Foolish pride
That’s all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don’t stop)
Walk on by (don’t stop)
Walk on by (don’t stop)
Walk on
Walk on by
Walk on by
Foolish pride
That’s all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don’t stop)
Walk on by (don’t stop)
Now you really gotta go, so walk on by (don’t, don’t stop)
Baby, leave, you’ll never see the tears I cry (don’t, don’t stop)
Now you really gotta go, so walk on by (don’t, don’t stop)
Mmm, baby, leave, you’ll never see the tears I cry (don’t, don’t stop)
Now you really gotta go, so walk on by (don’t, don’t)

Arthur’s Theme – Burt F. Bacharach / Carole Bayer Sager / Christopher Cross / Paul Allen
Song

Once in your life, you find her
Someone that turns your heart around
The next thing you know, you’re closing down the town
Wake up and it’s still with you
Even though you left her way across town
Wondering to yourself, “Hey, what’ve I found?”
When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
I know it’s crazy, but it’s true
If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love
Arthur he does as he pleases
All of his life, he’s masked his choice and
Deep in his heart, he’s just, he’s just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
And showing himself a really good time
Laughing about the way they want him to be
When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
I know it’s crazy, but it’s true
If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
The best that you can do (the best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love
When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
I know it’s crazy, but it’s true
If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
The best that you can do (the best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love
When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
I know it’s crazy, but it’s true
If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
The best that you can do (the best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love
If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
I know it’s crazy, hey, but it’s true

Club Sheba March Anniversary Edition 9th Year. ✨🌹😎🎶

@shoelady60,

I know how you feel I miss your sister already. 🌹✨I know she has to return to California.

Took Poppy for a fast walk down the street we are frozen. ✨WE are in the teens in OZ.

Keep warm.

@sheba2011

Good evening to you. Have one eye on the hockey game and the other on a magazine.👀 Not real into the game this evening, it’s turning into a blowout.

Yes, I sure will miss sis but she’ll be back in a month. So I will be doing double duty for a few weeks. Which means I better get some good night sleeps.😴 Hate to say it but mom has way her schedule than I do. I guess when you’re almost 93 you say yes to everything!😄

Cold here but no snow, wind chills tomorrow morning in the single digits.🥶 Starting Monday it will warm up each day.

Tell Mr. Poppy to make it quick.🐶 Sending hugs to you both.🤗💖

@Sheba

Hello in chilly Oz, we have a cloudy and breeze day however warm and humid.

Trivia last night was fun, and glad that Oodie was able to join us.

I am making bread, hubby is making himself dessert. A recipe he found on YouTube we are both in the kitchen 😀.
Not sure if we will make it to Lowes this weekend. Hubby will be working from home this coming week also. Perhaps after he gets off 3:30, one of the days we can take a ride to Lowes in the afternoon there’s still lots of daylight.

Have a great weekend you and your hubby with Poppy ❤️❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷

The Danger of Repression

When negative thoughts arise, it is best to address them rather than pushing them down where they will surface again.

For the last several years, there has been a lot of focus on the power of positive thinking. Many people have come to misinterpret this wisdom to mean that it is not okay to have a bad mood or a negative thought or feeling. This can lend a kind of superficiality to their relationship with life and relationships with other people. It can also lead them to feel that if a negative thought or feeling comes up, in themselves or someone else, they must immediately block it out. When they do this, they are engaging in the act of repressing a part of themselves that needs to be seen, heard, and processed.

When we repress parts of ourselves, they don’t go away so much as they get buried deep within us, and they often come out when we least expect it. On the other hand, if we allow ourselves to be fully human, honoring all the thoughts, feelings, and moods that pass through us on a given day, we create a more conscious relationship with ourselves. Instead of blocking out thoughts and feelings that we label as negative, we can simply observe them and then let them go. They only get stuck when we react to them negatively, pushing them down and out of sight where they get lodged in our unconscious minds. A healthier solution might be to develop a practice of following any negative thought we may have with a positive thought. This works well because positive thoughts are many times more powerful than negative thoughts.

Rather than setting our minds up in such a way that we become fearful of the contents of our own consciousness, blocking out anything that is less than 100 percent positive, we might resolve to develop a friendlier attitude toward ourselves, trusting in our inherent goodness. When we recognize our true inner worth, a few dark clouds passing through our minds will not intimidate us. We will see them for what they are—small, dark figures passing through an expansive sky of well-being and truth. AMEN! ✨✨

@kittengirl,

Sending a Saturday Shout Out to you Kitten may all be well with your family. ✨🌹

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😘✨😎🌹I don’t know what to say I am going to miss your
sister she is a sweet angel. 💕

How are you feeling today? Oz is in the teens as I type this note to you. I cannot believe
we are this cold. I had Poppy run to his spot in the backyard. I am thankful he has a nice
spot away from the house and I can stand in the indoor Patio and watch him. ✨

I worry about the outdoor cats I feed I just hope they are safe and warm.

Hey take care of your cold and stay warm. Sending a gentle hug to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘
