It’s hot and HUMID – but it’s better than winter…
Fantasia_Barrino-Summertime(mp3plate.com)
Summertime And the livin’ is easy Fish are jumpin’ And the cotton is high. Your daddy’s rich And your mama’s good lookin’ So hush little baby Don’t you cry. One of these mornings You’re gonna rise up singing Then you’ll spread your wings And fly to the sky. But ’til that morning Nothing can harm you With mammy and daddy Standin’ by.
~George Gershwin~
Spring is birds singing their heads off Spring is a beautiful season full of color Spring is the constant war between the sun and rain Spring is the light at the end of the long winter tunnel Spring is the season that brings back life
Kristina Lybbert
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.
I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.
Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a woman
Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.
Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need of my care, 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.
Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a great week, and spent the eve of the beginning of the year doing something that you enjoy with people you enjoy. Here we go again, and let's make it a good one!
I will not throw the cat out the window Or put a frog in my sister's bed I will not tie my brother's shoelaces together Nor jump from the roof of Dad's shed I shall remember my aunt's next birthday And tidy my room once a week I'll not moan at Mum's cooking (Ugh! fish fingers again!) Nor give her any more of my cheek. I will not pick my nose if I can help it I shall fold up my clothes, comb my hair, I will say please and thank you (even when I don't mean it) And never spit or shout or even swear. I shall write each day in my diary Try my hardest to be helpful at school I shall help old ladies cross roads (even if they don't want to) And when others are rude I'll stay cool. I'll go to bed with the owls and be up with the larks And close every door behind me I shall squeeze from the bottom of every toothpaste tube And stay where trouble can't find me. I shall start again, turn over a new leaf, leave my bad old ways forever shall I start them this year, or next year shall I sometime, or .....?
Just a little food for thought.
How do you live?
Does your lifestyle give something back to others?
Who have you surrounded yourself with? Is your social network a true reflection of the real you?
How do you spend your time? Is most of your time in service to yourself or others?
Who do you believe you are? Can your life transcend these beliefs and allow you to be fully present?
I don’t have all the answers– just a few questions I try to ask myself periodically.
