NATIONAL BE SOMEONE DAY

On July 21, National Be Someone Day challenges each of us to take ten seconds to make a difference in a child’s life.

What can you do in ten seconds? We can shift gears or water a plant. We can hear or tell a bad joke. In ten seconds, we can change our minds, and after doing so, say a prayer of thanks. When we walk into a room, in that time, we can register the pain in someone’s eyes and begin to provide comfort. We can praise and honor someone who deserves it.

We can also commit to reporting child abuse. On July 21st, take the pledge to be the person to make a difference in a child’s life. Most importantly, be someone prepared to report when a child trusts you enough and tells you they are experiencing abuse. Ten seconds can change a child’s life.

Hello Sheba, Glad the relative hit by a car is doing better. Talk about scary and crazy. I hope the police are looking for cameras in the area or anything to find the criminal.

It’s been on the hotter side here but not too bad. The gym is open and airy and appears clean so yes, good so far. Lots of people in the area go there. I don’t have to wait for it to cool down which is convenient. Nice you have your walks and bike riding. I’m not a summer person so will look forward to autumn.

The Rarities earrings had a price drop. 🙂

My son gets fed well at work. We never had real food or good food brought into work like where he works. Happy for him though.

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening. 😎🎈

Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You’re Going To)
Song by Diana Ross

Do you know where you’re going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?
Do you get what you’re hoping for?
When you look behind you, there’s no open doors
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?
Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds
You knew how I loved you, but my spirit was free
Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me
Do you know where you’re going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?
Now looking back at all we planned
We let so many dreams just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long before we see
How sad the answers to those questions can be?
Do you know where you’re going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?
Do you get what you’re hoping for?
When you look behind you, there’s no open doors
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?

Say You’ll Be There
Song by Spice Girls

… Oh, say you’ll be there
I’m giving you everything
All that joy can bring
This I swear, ow
… Last time that we had this conversation
I decided we should be friends, yeah
But now, we’re going ’round in circles
Tell me will this déjà vu never end? No
And now you tell me that you’re falling in love
Well, I never ever thought that would be, hey
This time, you gotta take it easy
Throwing far too much emotions at me
… But any fool can see they’re falling
I gotta make you understand
… I’m giving you everything
All that joy can bring
This I swear (I’ll give you everything)
And all that I want from you
Is a promise you will be there
Say you will be there, ow
Say you will be there
Ah, won’t you sing it with me?
… If you put two and two together
You will see what our friendship is for, oh
If you can’t work this equation
Then I guess I’ll have to show you the door
There is no need to say you love me
It would be better left unsaid
… I’m (I’m) giving you everything (I’ll give you everything)
All that joy can bring
This I swear (yes, I swear)
And (and) all that I want from you (all I want from you)
Is a promise you’ll be there (is a promise you)
Yeah, I want you
… Any fool can see they’re falling
I gotta make you understand
I’ll give you everything, on this I swear
Just promise you’ll always be there
… I’m giving you everything (I’m giving you everything)
All that joy can bring (all that joy can bring)
This I swear (yes, I swear)
And all that I want from you (all that I want from you)
Is a promise you
Will be there (yeah) (I want you)
… I’m giving you everything
All that joy can bring
This I swear
And all that I want from you
Is a promise you
Will be there
… I’m giving you everything
All that joy can bring
This I swear
And all that I want from you
Is a promise you
Will be there
… I’m giving you everything

I Heard It Through the Grapevine
Song by Marvin Gaye

Ooh, I bet you’re wonderin’ how I knew
‘Bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I love you more
It took me by surprise, I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don’t you know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I’m just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby)
I know a man ain’t supposed to cry
But these tears, I can’t hold inside
Losin’ you would end my life, you see
‘Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you loved someone else, instead
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I’m just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, well
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby)
People say, “Believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear”
But I can’t help but be confused
If it’s true, please, tell me, dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?
Don’t you know I heard it through the grapevine?
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby, I heard it through the grapevine
Ooh, I’m just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Honey, honey, I know (heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby)
That you’re letting me go (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Said, I heard it through the grapevine (heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby)
Ooh, heard it through the grapevine (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Need You Tonight
Song by INXS

Come over here
All you’ve got is this moment
Twenty-first century’s yesterday
You can care all you want
Everybody does, yeah, that’s okay
So slide over here and give me a moment
Your moves are so raw, I’ve got to let you know
I’ve got to let you know
You’re one of my kind
I need you tonight
‘Cause I’m not sleepin’
There’s somethin’ about you, girl
That makes me sweat
How do you feel? I’m lonely
What do you think? Can’t think at all
What you gonna do? Gonna live my life
So slide over here and give me a moment
Your moves are so raw, I’ve got to let you know
I’ve got to let you know
You’re one of my kind
I need you tonight
‘Cause I’m not sleepin’
There’s somethin’ about you, girl
That makes me sweat
So how do you feel? I’m lonely
What do you think? Can’t think at all
What you gonna do? Gonna live my life
How do you feel? I’m lonely
What do you think? Can’t think at all
What you gonna do? Gonna live my life
So slide over here and give me a moment
Your moves are so raw, I’ve got to let you know
I’ve got to let you know
So slide over here and give me a moment
I’ve got to let you know, I’ve got to let you know
You’re one of my kind
