My relative is leaving this world this song is for her. 😘💕

Hallelujah
Song by Jeff Buckley/Leonard Cohen

I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Baby, I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew you
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
And Love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well, there was a time when you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you?
But remember, when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath, we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Maybe there’s a God above
But, all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you?
And it’s not a cry, that you hear at night
It’s not somebody, who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Winter Lady
Song by Leonard Cohen

Traveling lady, stay awhile
Until the night is over
I’m just a station on your way
I know I’m not your lover
Well, I lived with a child of snow
When I was a soldier
And I fought every man for her
Until the nights grew colder
She used to wear her hair like you
Except when she was sleeping
And then she’d weave it on a loom
Of smoke and gold and breathing
And why are you so quiet now
Standing there in the doorway?
You chose your journey long before
You came upon this highway
Traveling lady, stay awhile
Until the night is over
I’m just a station on your way
I know I’m not your lover

Happy Holidays. 🎈🎈

The True Meaning of Christmas (recited by Linus)

Linus’ speech about the true meaning of Christmas is the highlight of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Retrieved from The Bible, King James Version, Book 42 Luke, Chapter 2, verses 8 to 14.

Retrieved from A Charlie Brown Christmas:

“I guess you were right, Linus. I shouldn’t have picked this
little tree,” said Charlie Brown. “Everything I do turns into
a disaster. I guess I don’t really know what Christmas is
all about. Isn’t there anyone who knows what Christmas
is all about?”

“Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about,”
said Linus. [Linus walks to center stage.]

“Lights, please.”

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding
in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.

–Book 42, Luke (002:08-14)
The Bible, King James Version

[Linus picks up his blanket and shuffles off-stage.]

Good Morning Peeps this is a new thread Conversation 21 has glitches that are beyond

Do You Hear What I Hear?
Song by Pentatonix and Whitney Houston

What I hear (what I hear)
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
“Do you hear what I hear?” (hear what I hear?)
Ringing through the night, shepherd boy
“Do you hear what I hear?”
A song, a song, high above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Now said the shepherd boy to the mighty king, mm
“Do you know what I know?” (do you know what I know?)
In your palace, warm, mighty king (mighty king, do you know?)
“Do you know what I know?” (do you know what I know?)
Oh, a child, a child, shivers in the cold (shivers in the cold)
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold (silver and gold)
Oh yeah
Oh
Said the King (said the King), to the people everywhere (everywhere)
Yeah
Listen to what I say (listen to what I say)
Pray for peace (peace), and people everywhere (everywhere)
Oh yeah
Listen to what I say (listen to what I say)
Oh, child, oh, the child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light, yes
He will bring us goodness and light
Oh yes, He will
I know He will
Oh yes, He will
And do you hear?
Do you hear?
Do you hear?
Do you know?
What I know?
What I hear?
What I hear?
Do you know?
Do you know?
Do you know?
Said, do you know?
I know

Thank you and Happy Holidays. 🎈😉I will put up the pics the AL Specials.

Hi Sheba
We are waiting for the rain and wind that is coming tomorrow to NC .

I want to thank you for the lovely photo you posted of Iris Apfel . She has led a very interesting and successful life. I have always admired her. She has done it “her way”.

HUGS

@loaf,

Good Morning and Happy Holidays to you and your family. Miss ya. 🎈😎😘

@xango,

Good day in sunny Florida. 🎈😎Xango I am a wee bit concerned about you.
Do not post unless you are up to doing it. Please get well soon. We are all thinking
of you. 😉😘

Be well my friend. 🎈

@sheba2011

Love the necklace and remember it on HSN.

I know you have glitches. I think it is being caused by the sun and the fact that a storm is brewing. It’s definitely not you and probably not HSN. I am having problems with the Arcade and Recaptcha. Contacted Spectrum. Seems they are having some issues. Having a computer is so frustrating. Today is one of them.

@oodiebom,

I have a lot going on today but I am thinking of you and I hope whatever your weather is
you keep power.

Stay safe Oodie OZ is still raining. I am losing my relative in Minnesota. 💕
A life well lived with many of her loved ones around her bed.

My December’s are never dull. Life is what it is.

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon I know it’s not me but it is a technical issue. Very annoying I am not sure
what causes it but it happens. 😎

I just move on in these cases. I hope your day is going well. 🎈

Heidi Daus has a great sale going on. 💕😉

I hope your hubby is getting closer to coming home. Oodie it’s time he comes home if he
is able to do all that he needs to do. Tell me are the contractors finished with all their work?

I know you have many irons in fire. Be safe out there today.

This reminds me of all your fruit you buy there at the Market. 💕

@Sheba

I slept in a chair last night due to the mattress causing severe back pain and my sinuses didn’t like being so close to the floor. The new mattress was delivered about a half hour ago and one good thing is that you do not sink at the edge. I have a handyman coming tomorrow morning to see what he can do with the bed frame since the box spring doesn’t completely cover one end. This is due to hubby taking on the task of putting it together himself rather than have a professional do it. We have a friend not far from us who bought a sleigh bed from the same furniture store. He tried putting that together himself as well and finally gave up and contacted a professional. What actually happened is that the store took out the correct nails and put in ones that do not hold the frame together that well. I never knew that there were different nails for bedding. Anyway, in both our cases the store went belly up soon after we purchased the items, so we couldn’t return or get someone to help us. There are quite a few businesses on the Internet that do this and will contact them if my handy person cannot help.

Everything is now completed with the contractors. I will need to have the interior painted at some point and of course new furniture is desperately needed. I still am fledging on whether to install a ramp or new stairs leading to the front door. The handy person thinks a ramp would be fine, however, if hubby will be in a wheelchair he thinks I should hire someone to push him and the chair up the ramp. His feeling is that the wheelchair will be too cumbersome as I get older. An alternative to that would be a cart which hubby could manage on his own. It will need to be recharged on a daily basis, but that may be easier. Then again, it will depend on the weight of the electric motor. Hubby is determined to try to walk with therapy. I have also placed a call to his orthopedist to see if he has any suggestions. I forgot that they close early on Fridays, so will not expect a call back before Monday.

I am now getting read y to visit our new Farmer’s Market. I surmise it is a mad house, but tomorrow is torrential rain, wind with a possibility of a tornado. Homes in Florida do not have a basement. I may go early tomorrow to be with hubby.

I’m not sure about Trivia. Spectrum expects outages beginning tonight. The wind could be similar to category 1 or 2 hurricane. However, this is not a hurricane because it has no tropical beginnings. Now on my way. I am tempted to just have a conversation thread until after the holidays. We shall see. I will have a Kindle with me tonight.

Note to Oodiebom:
@oodiebom:
I’m home this evening so I’ll post some questions if a Trivia thread is started. If no one shows up though, I’ll be leaving within 30 minutes. (Just letting you know.) I hope your weather doesn’t get too bad this evening. We are expecting rain here.

Please respect boundaries you said you felt uncomfortable posting on my thread.
I am going through some challenging times and I feel very bad about what you said.

You only want to write to one person that is cool just do it in the Community. I am not
being mean but I know how you feel. Thank you. 🎈

So Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California Taci I don’t like the Coyotes but they do visit my porch
sometimes I have stared them straight in the eye. Please be careful.

I hope your son has a great time snow boarding. Taci Colorado is my entire family
I only did not go because of Covid-19 and many in my family had Covid-19 and I was
advise to stay home. I am never going to let time go by without going to see my family.

I have had some family members visit me but there is no place like being there. 😘😉😎💕

I am getting a lot of things in order in my life and I am coming back to the land of the living
no more fear. Covid was the only thing standing in my way.

Taci thank you for the prayers about the BC. I did enjoy my time with my sister all you need
is a great view and tea. LOL! This sister and all my sisters were happy to see me I have four
sisters. 😘We all have the same mom and dad. 😉😎

Hey Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

Your eyes are not playing tricks on you this is a new thread. I will leave it at that the glitches
are annoying.

Sheba, Happy new thread. The pictures remind me that it is December. Those HD cuffs are lovely and wonderful that you wore them on Thanksgiving. Glad things are moving forward for you and activating!
The Coyotes I see seem to look like little kids caught or they just ignore me. Only once did one come out and watch me pass by and I suspected it was a nearby den. This would be entirely different if I had a pet. They know all the houses with pets and frequent them for feeding opportunities. I would like to see some kind of birth control program for them as the population is very healthy and growing.
I took a look at the Heidi Daus website and of course saw many lovely items but I am really holding off except for the occasional pieces.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. How are you doing today? Lady my Nativity Scene which I have
had for years is stunning. This is a high end 10 piece set. I brought it from a neighbor who
let me have it for next to nothing she wanted a good home for it. 😉🎈😎

As you can see I had to start a new thread wish the glitch would have happened after
Christmas I was going to change it anyway oh well such is life.

I am multi-tasking today Oz is raining as I type this note to you.

Sending warm holiday cheers to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘😉

@sheba2011

I know I say this all the time…….always something. Just like my computer the other day which was not my fault.

My mom also has a beautiful nativity set. I will have to check and see how many pieces in her set. Mom is extremely religious so she has many Jesus/Mary/angels, etc. around the house.🙏

Beautiful day, looks like Spring except for the bare trees. We will be getting your rain on Sunday. Staying home today and getting small chores done. Hubs flew down to visit his sister for the weekend so it’s me, myself and I for a couple days. I can read in the bedroom with the light on tonight.😄

Did you see that Pennsylvania declared 2023 as the Taylor Swift era? What a year for her.✨

Thanks for your continued work on this thread, appreciate all you do.😇 Have a wonderful Friday, hugs back to you and your menagerie.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening I sure did see that article and some news person is trying to cancel her.
I call BS leave Taylor alone she does a lot of good with her monies. I am not saying that because
she spends part of her time in OZ I was into Taylor long before Travis. 💕😘

Enjoy this time with your books and whatever makes you feel good.

Goodnight my friend. 😉😎🎈

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California sending prayers to you and your family during this
wonderful season. 😘😉🎈

Different Ways of Knowing

Common sense — while not always officially rewarded, has its own special genius.

We human beings have many ways of knowing what we need to know in order to get through our lives. One way of knowing things is to engage in a course of study in an academic environment. Another way of knowing things is simply to go through the experiences that come our way, making a conscious effort to learn from them. A third way in which people gain knowledge is through the vehicle of intuition, a gift some have more than others, but which can be developed in anyone. No one way of knowing things is better than another way, and they can all be useful at different points in our lives.

Most of us naturally gravitate toward one way of knowing over others, and this tends to be clear early in our lives. For the most part, we live in a culture that values a logical, mental approach to knowing things, so those with intuitive gifts may have been shamed, undervalued, or misunderstood in our ways. Many of us are working our way out of this incorrect value judgment, recognizing that our intuition, far from being wrong or untrustworthy, is a great gift. For those of us who conduct our learning in the thick of our life experiences, we may also have to make an extra effort to remind ourselves that our particular intelligence — often called common sense–while not always officially rewarded, has its own special genius.

Even though, in a given time or place, certain types of intelligence tend to be valued more than others, no way of knowing is inherently better than another. Once we understand this, we can value our own intelligence, as well as the different intelligences of the people we encounter. Sometimes, just understanding that we are coming at the same issue in different ways helps us to avoid an unnecessary conflict. When we value all ways of knowing equally, we benefit not only from what we have learned, and how we have learned it, but from all the other forms of intelligence we are open to honoring. AMEN! 😎
