It’s almost time for AtoZ !!!
Good Morning Music Lover’s
It’s time for Song Lyric Sunday again…Today’s prompt comes from Mr. Jim to find a song that mentions doctor, cure, heal, treat or drugs … Thank you for coming up with new prompts every week along with so much information on the music.
This week I’m going to go with Doctor My Eyes, by Jackson Brown. This is the first time I’ve seen this version of the song. Very interesting all of the different places and instruments they use for this song. Enjoy …
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears, without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hidin’
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise
To leave them open for so long?
‘Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I’ve been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where they will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it’s later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it’s too late for me
Doctor, my eyes
But cannot see the sky
Is this the prize
For having learned how not to cry?
Good Afternoon, Song Lyric Sunday…
Cold and gray, windy Sunday afternoon. Staying in and just going to play with my blog, and my journal’s…Getting ready for AtoZ, it’s almost here.
The prompt today coming from Mr. Jim/Weather Conditions, which is probably one of my favorite things of all except for maybe journaling, blogging and writing.
Such a great prompt and the 1st song that came to mind was one of our favorite Musician’s and gone far too soon. Whenever I hear a song from him, I think of the husband. This guy is one of his fav’s. He was a storyteller with his music. We attended a number of his concerts. He was an epic entertainer and truly loved the ocean. Below is a little back history from Kenny Chesney on this song. We both love, love, love the ocean !!!! Definitely our Happy Place 😉
Today my song for SLS is, “Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season”. I think we’ve all storm’s in our life and tried to bargain our way through it 😉 !!! Enjoy
AtoZ Theme Reveal
Happy Wednesday Blogger’s…Today I’m going to announce my, “Theme Reveal” for the April Challenge AtoZ … I absolutely love, love, love this challenge and it is great for a number of reasons.
It helps me to stay focused on what is important in my life. My motivation for this is, I love to write. It started when I was young girl and we had to read, “The Diary of Anne Frank”. That made such an impact on me and I realized the importance of writing.
So actually my theme is writing. I’m going to share with you everything, well not actually everything I have written. I write a lot … I have my commonplace book, my planner, my junk journals, my 10 year journal, my morning pages journal, my traveler’s journal !!! I could go on and on, but I think you get it.
I realized that Anne Frank didn’t realize she was going to have her diary as required reading in school’s when she was creating her diary. I am so thankful for reading that book and being able to read and write. They both are truly a gift.
Here are just a few pics of my different journal’s I will share with you…So happy to be back with this community. It truly has made a difference in my life on so many levels !!!
Last year when I broke my right arm, not being able to do the physical act of writing was the worst thing ever. I’m so thankful to be able to write again with my right hand.
I’m hoping to get some new follower’s, and I hope you enjoy all of my craziness and love of journaling, writing and creating. Blessings to all and it’s going to be a great
Good Morning,Happy Song Lyric Sunday
Today’s prompt for SLS is a song with the word, “Over” in the title, which is perfect for me. I didn’t even have to ask the husband b/c it came right away to mind.
The song I thought of is, “Get Over It” by the Eagles. Definitely a favorite group of mine…Thanks for the prompt Mr. Jim
“Get Over It”
I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin’ “Don’t blame me”
They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else
Spend all their time feelin’ sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma’s too thin and your daddy’s too fat
Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin’ and cryin’ and pitchin’ a fit
Get over it, get over it
You say you haven’t been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
Let’s kill all the lawyers, kill ’em tonight
You don’t want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn’t owe you a thing
Get over it
Get over it
If you don’t want to play, then you might as well split
Get over it, Get over it
It’s like going to confession every time I hear you speak
You’re makin’ the most of your losin’ streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak
You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin’ everybody down
Bitch about the present and blame it on the past
I’d like to find your inner child and kick its little ass
Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin’ and moanin’ and pitchin’ a fit
Get over it, get over it
Get over it
Get over it
It’s gotta stop sometime, so why don’t you quit
Get over it, get over it
A few factoid’s …”Get Over It” by the eagles: Released in 1994 as a single from the album Hell Freezes Over. The song was the first written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey after the band reunited. It reached number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Another personal addition. I knew Glen Frey. I met him in 1976. He was playing his guitar, which was so beautiful and I commented on what a good guitar player he was. After that he responded with his name and I said why that would mean anything to me. At that moment he started to play and sing, “Take It Easy” and then I knew. I said, “Oh now I know who you are 😉 ” I was a little bit impressed but there’s a back story that maybe someday I will share or not…
He was a really nice guy, with issues but still an amazing musician !!!! I’ll never forget that moment even though I was only a teenager when I met him. I did attend a concert of the Eagles shortly after that. Impressive and they did become one of my fav’s !!!
One final closing thought on this song…It’s been a way of life for me. I move on. I choose Happy … Mz. Scarlet sends blessing to y’all…Life is good !!!!
Thankful Thursday
It is a beautius day in the Midwest, which is unusual for Chicago…I’m not a huge fan of March, but I’ll take it. It ususally is, “Gluggaveour” which is an Icelandic word (n.) lit. “Window-Weather” ; a weather that looks so nice and picturesque through the window, until you’re actually outside in it; a weather best enjoyed only behind the window…” Too chilly for me today and I think it’s going to snow tomorrow. So I’m not going to venture out to far. No I mean serious snow, 5″ inches or so…
This word made it into my own personal thersaurus, the one I have made of words that I want to keep for my writing’s. Future references for me. Just through this little bit in to get my blog post going.
This Blog was really about things I’m thankful for. As I lay in bed last night, I was thinking about how grateful I am for being Catholic. Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. I went and got ashes. This now starts the season of Lent. The Catholic Religion is so rich in tradition I always get a bit choked up when I’m in church. I thought about my mom and my grandmama. They set such a great example of what it was to be Catholic. Mom use to talk about a happy death, which is also a promise of the Rosary. I never really understood that, I mean it’s death. What could be happy about that.
I’m going to put a song here b/c I absolutely love this prayer and would love to share this with you…Andrea Bocelli, “The Lord’s Prayer”
For thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory, forever. Amen
When mom died, she showed me exactly what a happy death was. She was absolutely angelic at her furneral. I understood what she was talking about. I will be eternally grateful for the gift she and my grandmama of being Catholic. They lived there life exactly how I can only hope to live mine. I thank her and my dear sweet grandmama for showing me how to live my Catholic religion.
Being Catholic is the best gift to have been given by my mom and for that I say, “Thank you, Mom. I hope I make you proud of my life as a Catholic.” I love my religion and I can only hope that I have passed that gift of being Catholic to my kids…
