Raise Your Glass
Song by Pink

Right, right, turn off the lights
We gonna lose our minds tonight
What’s the dealio?
I love when it’s all too much
5 AM turn the radio up
Where’s the rock and roll?
Party crasher
Panty snatcher
Call me up if you a gangsta
Don’t be fancy, just get dancy
Why so serious?
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs
We will never be never be, anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
Won’t you come on and come on and raise your glass
Just come on and come on and raise your glass
Slam slam, oh hot
What part of party don’t you understand
Wish you’d just freak out (freak out already)
Can’t stop, comin’ in hot
I should be locked up right on the spot
It’s so on right now (so fuckin’ on right now)
Party crasher
Panty snatcher
Call me up if you a gangsta
Don’t be fancy, just get dancy
Why so serious?
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs
We will never be never be, anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
Won’t you come on and come on and raise your glass
Just come on and come on and raise your glass
Won’t you come on and come on and raise your glass
Just come on and come on and raise your glass
So if you’re too school for cool (I mean)
And you’re treated like a fool
(Treated like a fool)
You can choose to let it go
We can always, we can always
Party on our own
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs
We will never be never be, anything but loud
Maybe nitty gritty dirty little freaks
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs
We will never be never be, anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
Won’t you come on and come on and raise your glass
Just come on and come on and raise your glass
Won’t you come on and come on and raise your glass (for me)
Just come on and come on and raise your glass (for me)

Mr. Brightside
Song by The Killers

Coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can’t look, it’s killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr. Brightside
I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
(It was only a kiss), it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
‘Cause I just can’t look, it’s killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr. Brightside
I never
I never

Auld Lang Syne (The New Year’s Anthem)
Song by Mariah Carey

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne
Auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne
Ey, oh yeah, ey, ey, eh
Happy New Year baby, eh, oh
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne
Does anybody really know the words
Might as well sing along
Happy New Year baby
Happy New Year baby
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne
Happy New Year
To you and your friends
And have a drink on me
Happy New Year
To you
And have a drink on me
Ten, night, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Happy new year

What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve
Song by Ella Fitzgerald

When the bells all ring and the horns all blow
And the couples we know are fondly kissing
Will I be with you or will I be among the missing?
Maybe it’s much too early in the game
Ah, but I thought I’d ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year’s, New Year’s eve?
Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it’s exactly twelve o’clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year, New Year’s Eve?
Maybe I’m crazy to suppose
I’d ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations you received
Ah, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year’s, New Year’s Eve?
Ah, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year’s, New Year’s Eve?
Oh, what are you doing New Year’s, New Year’s Eve?

Well almost. 😎

Peace Out Peeps stay warm out there. 🎈

@sheba2011

Happy New Year to you!🥂🎉 Glad you had a peaceful Christmas. Like you, remembering all the relatives here and gone.

Busy couple of days but all went well. Ate real well, too.😐 Stomach is plump like Santa’s. Guess I’ll be dieting in another week so I can button the pants.😣 Did see bits and pieces of the game yesterday – on to next week. Wondering if you heard from your brother after the game.

Heating up leftovers for dinner. Weather is gloomy but warm, getting cold by the end of the week.🥶 Sounds like Poppy will be tiptoeing in his booties this week. Love that little man.💗 Like your post above, sit and do nothing today. That’s what I did, we deserve it. Warm hugs from me and Jake.🤗💖

Reversed Perceptions

When we take ownership of our thoughts, we are less likely to project our issues or disowned qualities onto others.

We all have issues, as well as undesirable qualities or traits that we don’t like about ourselves. Most of us realize that we are not perfect and that it is natural to have unpleasant thoughts, motivations, desires, or feelings. However, when a person does not acknowledge these, they may ascribe those characteristics to someone else, deeming other people instead as angry, jealous, or insecure. In psychological terms, such blaming and fault finding is called projection.

When we are the target of projections, it can be confusing and frustrating, not to mention maddening, particularly when we know that we are not the cause of another person’s distress. Even people who are well aware of their issues may find that sensitive subjects can bring up unexpected projections. They may feel insecure about a lack of funds and thus view a friend as extravagant. Or, if they really want to get in shape, they may preach the benefits of exercise to anyone and everyone.

While we can try to avoid people we know who engage in projecting their “stuff” onto others, we can’t always steer clear of such encounters. We can, however, deflect some projections through mindfulness and meditation. A useful visualization tool is to imagine wrapping ourselves in a protective light everyday. At other times, we may have to put up a protective shield when we feel a projection coming our way, reminding ourselves that someone else’s issues are not ours. Although it’s difficult not to react when we are the recipient of a projection, it is a good idea to try to remain calm and let the other person know if they are being unreasonable and disrespectful. We all know that it’s not fun to be dumped on. Likewise, we should be mindful that we don’t take our own frustrations out on others. When we take ownership of our thoughts, motivations, desires, and feelings, we are less likely to project our issues or disowned qualities onto others. AMEN!

Sending warm hugs to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California Taci I am so glad the meal worked out for you and your
family. 😘😎🎈

We had a very nice Christmas. Oz is frozen today I wonder about the little critters.
I have food out for them.

Taci I am wearing a Storybook Sweater I brought from HSN years ago. I do miss that
line of Sweaters I have many with different designs these sweaters are so original
I wish HSN could bring them back. 💕

I was able to find this online. I had so many when HSN were selling them. I was still
working at the time and everyone always loved the sweaters. 💕🎈I got my monies
worth because I still wear them on cold days like today.

Hey Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Oodie I don’t like how the day went at the
Rehab for your husband. My goodness no one seemed to care. If I were on staff I would
have went all out for the guests. I am sure the dollar store would have had things for the
guests to enjoy even Costco or other stores had plenty of beautiful things just to make
it special.

I wish they had brought the Piano out what is life without music? I am sure your husband
could have played anything. Oodie very smart of you to go get the Asian Food. I see all the
Grinches are in full force during this season. I feel they could have did better.

Glad you got some good rest I can’t wait for your husband to get out of that place.

Oodie our holiday was just perfect very small and my good was delicious. 💕😉 Hubby
and our son is off today I am just going to have a calm day. 🎈

This day is somewhat somber because my family member has passed and most of the family
are in Minnesota. I have spent a lot of time on the phone with all my family. 💕My aunt who is
my father’s sister celebrated her birthday on the 23rd we had a good time talking about life.

Oodie enjoy the day OZ is cold right now and snow is on the horizon. Hello Winter.😎

Soon OZ will be a Winter Wonder Land. 🎈
