Oodie, I am bout ready to jump on a plane to help you. Take it slow and easy and get lots of rest if you can. Also, what you said about the white coat and no tag… I have long been highly suspicious about this practice.

Sheba, Shocking about Lisa Marie Presley. Heard about it on the radio and she is too young.
So many young people are losing their lives.
Remember when Joan Rivers interviewed at the awards and then she had her show? I loved watching back then, Now it’s different so not for me. The clothes however were really lovely.
I used to live in LA, only about 2 1/2 years, and was able to recognize many actors from TV and commercials around town. Not sure about movies, will have to think back. It was fun.
Lately I have been into handbags, ever since my Paris trip. Prior to that I gave away many and used backpacks because of how often I hike. I don’t want a large collection, just some updating.
Coach has 50% off right now.
Hope your cousin is doing better and very sorry about it all.

Peace Out Peeps stay safe and warm. 🌹

@shoelady60,

Lady I always like to post interesting and different pictures. 🌹✨I like being different.
Hey Lisa Marie Presley passed today.

We talked about how she and her mother had a hand in Austin Butler getting the role
to play her father Elvis. A lot of my family is from that part of Tennessee I can’t tell
you how many times I have to Graceland and there is the Lisa Marie Presley Airplane
right across from Graceland. 🌹May she RIP.

I am very emotional right now and this is in part because my cousin is making plans for
her husband services.

My head is hurting I will write tomorrow and good luck to your Hockey Team tomorrow. ✨✨

I know you enjoy your hubby’s birthday cake 🎂. 💕😘

@xango,

I did talk to my cousin just for a moment as she could not talk well. All she want is to
go home to her home. ✨I feel for her.

Thank you for the prayers OZ is cold in the twenties.

Lisa Marie Presley passed away today at the tender age of 54. I am very upset
because this is hitting close to home for me may she RIP.

If I Can Dream
Song by Elvis Presley

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can’t my dream come true
Oh why
There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won’t that sun appear
We’re lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We’re trapped in a world
That’s troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly
Deep in my heart there’s a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answer, answer’s gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there’s a beckoning candle, yeah
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream
Oh, please let my dream
Come true
Right now
Let it come true right now
Oh yeah

RIP Lisa Marie Presley 🌹

@oodiebom,

You have a packed schedule. Take it easy. I wish you had someone with you at home.

The babies are just cute and I had never seen a toddler like that. So cute.

Hey Lisa Marie Presley has passed from a heart attack at 54. My heart goes out
to her family. I have a lot of family in Memphis so this is hitting close to home.

@Sheba

Hello Sheba, how is your busy afternoon going?
Our temperatures have been good, not hot and not cold. That will change after tomorrow, and I will have to cover my plants.

That chicken and noodles sure smells good. I am sure your hubby will walk into your home with a big smile.
Today I made some black beans, it’s a staple in Brazil but I don’t make it often. It’s a dish I can only eat twice and after that I don’t want it for a while. I made some Jasmine rice for and Cauliflower rice for hubby.

How is your cousin progressing? I am sure it’s going to be a small step at a time. However she will get better, go forward and enjoy her life with time.

I remember reading your post a few days ago, you said Charlie visited you, that his weight is good and that the medication is working for him. That is real good news, Charlie sounds like such a happy cat.

Sending you prayers and hugs and tonyour cousin too. Take care Sheba.

So glad you are feeling better. I think I may have a slight cold or allergies, stuffed nose and sneezing last two days.🤧 Rainy day here, getting colder overnight with a dusting of snow.❄ The baby above is adorable and it looks like someone put eyeliner on her.

I also enjoy having fun with the wine images.🍷 Lord knows we all need some laughs these days.😄

We have a local bakery called Oakmont Bakery in the ‘burgh and they are the best in the area. My husband had lunch today with his sister and she gave him the most unusual cakes. Two 4″ layer cakes, one with chocolate icing and the layers inside are chocolate mousse and cheesecake. The other is an almond torte outside with white cake inside. OMG, I died and went to heaven!🎂🍰😇 Had two tiny slices of each and now too full to eat dinner.😝

How You Affect Others Daily

You never know whose life you are affecting, big or small.

As the pace and fullness of modern life serve to isolate us from one another, the contact we do share becomes vastly more significant. We unconsciously absorb each other’s energy, adopting the temperament of those with whom we share close quarters, and find ourselves changed after the briefest encounters. Everything we do or say has the potential to affect not only the individuals we live, work, and play with but also those we’ve just met. Though we may never know the impact we have had or the scope of our influence, accepting and understanding that our attitudes and choices will affect others can help us remember to conduct ourselves with grace at all times. When we seek always to be friendly, helpful, and responsive, we effortlessly create an atmosphere around ourselves that is both uplifting and inspiring.

Most people rarely give thought to the effect they have had or will have on others. When we take a few moments to contemplate how our individual modes of being affect the people we spend time with each day, we come one step closer to seeing ourselves through the eyes of others. By asking ourselves whether those we encounter walk away feeling appreciated, respected, and liked, we can heighten our awareness of the effect we ultimately have. Something as simple as a smile given freely can temporarily brighten a person’s entire world. Our value-driven conduct may inspire others to consider whether their own lives are reflective of their values. A word of advice can help others see life in an entirely new fashion. And small gestures of kindness can even prove to those embittered by the world that goodness still exists. By simply being ourselves, we influence other’s lives in both subtle and life-altering ways.

To ensure that the effect we have is positive, we must strive to stay true to ourselves while realizing that it is the demeanor we project and not the quality of our wondrous inner landscapes that people see. Thus, as we interact with others, how we behave can be as important as who we are. If we project our passion for life, our warmth, and our tolerance in our facial features, voice, and choice of words, every person who enters our circle of influence will leave our presence feeling at peace with themselves and with us. You never know whose life you are affecting, big or small. Try to remember this as you go out into the world each day.

AMEN! ✨✨

Peeps!

@kittengirl,

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎Just do you today and have a great one. I am glad you don’t
have to cook. I know how you feel I do love to cook but sometimes it’s nice to eat something
someone else cooked. ✨

We are cold and have snow in OZ. I am fine with that nothing too big just covering the
ground but it is nice to see falling from the sky. 🌹 The moon was beautiful last night and my
body was in sync with the moon. I slept very well. 😜

My headache is easing up and that makes me happy.

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

Hey thanks for being such a good sport when it comes to the wine images.
You are hilarious I never laughed so loud. Hubby always comes to see if I am alright. 😜😘
