These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

Random thoughts

  • I am a big fan of 1950s oldies music. Always have been. It's the music I grew up with, through grade school (older sibling listened to it), through junior high and high school. Just recently, I wanted something different, and I thought, "Well, I liked some of the '60s music, too," so I flipped the Sirius radio in the car to that station. I'm so glad I did! I'd forgotten about a lot of that music, yet I enjoyed it "back in the day." I graduated from high school in 1962, so it was the music of those couple years, and then through my young adult years it is what I listened to. So glad I found the other part of my memory-music!
  • As I've listened to that era, I have been reminded how much I like Neil Diamond's music. Almost all his songs touch me deeply for some reason. Haven't figured out the reason, but they do. And always did, but I forgot!
  • I've had a little crush on Harrison Ford for years, but I didn't realize it until just recently!
  • It is interesting to watch the trackers on the blog. Recently (last few days), there has been a huge influx of visitors from all around the world:  Brazil, Argentina, France, Italy,  Poland, Macedonia, Japan, Mexico, Honduras, Russian Federation, Kuwait, Finland, Israel, Switzerland, .... and of course, the usual ....UK,  and Canada. I wonder why?
  • I've noticed something that bothers me. In this age of media addiction, with people spending more and more time with TV, movies, the internet, there are some awful examples of what examples we give our children. Lines such as: little girl, "What is a humanitarian?" father, "Someone who hasn't won an Oscar." and the dad walks out of the room. If a parent in real life says such a thing and doesn't explain the "satire" in it, I wonder what youngsters and young parents take away from that movie about how to parent.
  • My life is good!

    1. It's funny .... I've always liked him, but recently realized I haven't listen to his songs in a long while. I need to look into Spotify; just haven't bothered with Sirius in the car and Pandora at work and home.

  3. I know exactly what you mean about Neil Diamond's tunes. They speak to me divinely and joyously. I have an album of his greatest hits that I listen to when walking sometimes . . . especially during last Summer . . .

    1. His voice is .... soulful. Sometimes I don't even really listen to the words but just get lost in his expressive tones.
