Talk is cheap....listening is priceless!

There are lessons to be learned every minute of every day. I think GOD must be trying to alert me to all of the millions of people who don't feel that anyone understands them or even cares enough to listen to them.................

FLASH!



The rest of this blog has been edited, simply because, while it's truly the way I feel, I truly don't want anyone to read it. Ah....the beauty of on-line blogging spots! One can continue to hide if one so chooses.

All is quiet on New Year's Day......

Only cried 3 times today...the year is off to a great start! :)

Happy 2014, world!

The sounds of silence:

I ran across this little "proclomation" on FaceBook today and just had to share it myself on my own page, and now here. It hit home for me.........HARD! One of the worst times of my life began with lots of lies, gossip and backstabbing. The part that hurt, however, was NOT what was said and who said it and to whom. It was the fact  that, to my knowledge, none of my friends took a stand against the perpetrators. (Hoping I am wrong about this, but, again....to my knowledge I was alone.)  To add insult to injury, a short time later, MySpace became "the thing" and a good many of my friends "friended" the liars who were behind the whole sordid story.  It was like being stabbed in the heart AGAIN!  I have done the right thing and "forgiven" everyone involved.. But forgiving is not forgetting, and because I can't forget.....my trust in people is pretty much a thing of the past. Sadly, we can't "unlearn" the hurts we recieve, no matter how much we would like to. (I suppose this is a good defense mechanism that we are born with, but it would be nice to turn it off at times!) 

So....I guess what it all boils down to is: we ALL need to remember to stand up for the truth and our friends when they are in the right. It's not as hard to do as you might think, and good karma as well.  :)  Unless, of course, you don't care one whit about your friends.....then, by all means, keep silent.

It was HOW MANY years ago today?????

Groovin' up slowly........

Happy 44th birthday, ABBEY ROAD!  You give me life.

Tender is the night............

".....Without hope or youth or money I sit constantly wishing I were dead."

The loss of those things CAN be challenging, I have to admit.

Sigh.

Fly on, little wing

My little heart, Geddy, is flying with the angels now..........


Maybe there will be a 'keet disco ball in heaven...........


Bye, bye, birdie. I love you!   (Sept 19, 2013)

 

 

 

 

 

 

My hero..........

Photographer and artist Lisa Law, who created the film, FLASHING ON THE 60s,  described Wavy Gravy as the only person she knew who hears no ego, sees no ego, speaks no ego.

 

I'd like to think that one day someone will feel this way about ME!!!!
