Conversation – 19

Islands in the Stream
Song by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers

Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside
There was something going on
You do something to me that I can’t explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got something going on
Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication
All this love we feel needs no conversation
We ride it together, ah ha
Making love with each other, ah ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah ha
From one lover to another, ah ha
I can’t live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothing if you got no one
And you did walk in the night
Slowly losing sight of the real thing
But that won’t happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing
No more will you cry
Baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one
In love forever
We can ride it together, ah ha
Making love with each other, ah ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah ha
From one lover to another, ah ha
Sail away
Oh, come sail away with me
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah ha
From one lover to another, ah ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah ha
From one lover to another, ah ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between

Believe
Song by Cher

… After love, after love
After love, after love
After love, after love
After love, after love
After love, after love
After love, after love
… No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can’t break through
There’s no talking to you
… It’s so sad that you’re leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You’re gonna be the lonely one, oh
… Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
… What am I supposed to do?
Sit around and wait for you?
Well, I can’t do that
And there’s no turning back
… I need time to move on
I need a love to feel strong
‘Cause I’ve had time to think it through
And maybe I’m too good for you, oh
… Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
… Well, I know that I’ll get through this
‘Cause I know that I am strong
And I don’t need you anymore
I don’t need you anymore
Oh, I don’t need you anymore
No, I don’t need you anymore
… Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
… Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no

Club Sheba July 4th Edition with some entertainers who are also Club HSN. 😎✨

@Sheba 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 A Happy Independence Day to you and your husband. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I hope you are taking it easy, and feeling better. Enjoying your hubby’s cooking/grilling 😋😋😋.

It’s not quite Sunset yet and the fireworks already started here.

The little bunny got scared with the grass cutting team. And with the fireworks poor little bunny.
To my surprise who ever did the trimming of the bushes also cut-off my Hibiscus trees. I am so mad, I am just waiting for tomorrow to have a conversation with my guy that is the boss. Its been about two and a half years ago, maybe going on three. They did the same thing. And it took all this time to get them back to the way it was. And now this happens again. It had flowers, buds, how can a person who does that for a living cut it down to nothing.
I forgot to thank you for the beautiful pictures both yesterday and today. Yesterday’s spread, the picnic spread looked so delicious. If I was entertaining I would love to do something like that.
We are watching A Capitol Fourth on TV.
Have a great evening Sheba, feel better 😊.

Sheba, hope you are feeling better today. I just heard a large popping of illegal fireworks and shortly after a helicopter in the area. Great you and your husband can hang out while he cooks.
Have a great Independence Day!

@sheba2011

Please get well. Relax and enjoy your husband’s cooking.🌭🍔🥩 That pie looks delicious!🧨🎆

Free Yourself to Be Happy

Celebrating the success of others deepens your own happiness.

We all want to be the kind of people who are happy for others when they experience success or a cause for celebration in their lives, but it isn’t always easy. Sometimes powerful, dark feelings come when decorum dictates we should be feeling the opposite; instead of reaching out and celebrating our loved one, we feel the rising up of our own pain. This pain may arise because we feel jealous about someone having something we don’t. It may arise because our friend’s success will lead to us losing them in some way. Or it can arise for reasons we don’t yet understand. The important thing is not to brush it under the rug but to take it seriously and look at it; suppressing it will only make it worse. At the same time, we need to be sure to find a way to congratulate our friends and celebrate their successes as if they were our own.

The struggle with being happy for others presents itself early in life. If a child wants a toy and another child has it, the child will try to get it or will break down in tears. Those primal feelings are still present in most of us, and we have to acknowledge them when they arise. It can be a difficult balance when we find ourselves suspended between wanting something and throwing a party for our friend who got it. Yet it is in throwing the party that we share in the joy, rather than cutting ourselves out of it. AMEN! 🌹✨
