A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
Chain Breaker. (edited)
If you’ve been walking the same old road for miles and miles
If you’ve been hearing the same old voice tell the same old lies
If you’re trying to heal the same old holes inside
There’s a better life
There’s a better life
If you’ve got pain
He’s a pain taker
If you feel lost
He’s a way maker
If you need freedom or saving
He’s a prison-shaking Savior
If you’ve got chains
He’s a chain breaker
We’ve all search for the light of day in the dead of night
We’ve all found ourselves worn out from the same old fight
We’ve all run to things we know just ain’t right
And there’s a better life
There’s a better life
If you’ve got pain
He’s a pain taker
If you feel lost
He’s a way maker
If you need freedom or saving
He’s a prison-shaking Savior
If you’ve got chains
He’s a chain breaker
(Chorus edtited)
If you’ve got pain
He’s a pain taker
If you feel lost
He’s a way maker.....
This will be the kittens first Christmas!
Maybe they'd be perfect for the women at the NH?
Your cupcakes have eyes.
I could never eat the little critters.....
Could you take the eyes off before I start naming them?
My favorite thing today is my one year old niece in her pink snowsuit! She is a cutie. Her very biased aunt.:-)
Songs to encourage...
And they are inside your head
You got a voice that says
You won't get past this one
You won't win your freedom
It's like a constant war
And you want to settle that score
But you're bruised and beaten
And you feel defeated
This goes out to the heaviest heart
Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
It's not over yet
It's not over yet
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
It's not over yet
Keep on fighting
Out of the dark
Into the light
It's not over
Hope is rising
Never give in
Never give up
It's not over
Yet, woah
Yet, woah
Oh, game set match
It's time to put it in your past, oh
Feel the winter leavin'
It's redemption season
Long live the young at heart (here we are)
Cheers to a brand new start (here we are)
We're revived and breathing
To live a life of freedom
Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
It's not over yet
It's not over yet
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
It's not over yet
Keep on fighting
Out of the dark
Into the light
It's not over
Hope is rising
Never give in
Never give up
It's not over
Yet, woah
Yet, woah
And life is a race we run
So run till the race is won
Don't you ever give up (here we are)
Oh no never give up (here we are)
Life is a race we run
So run till the race is won
Don't you ever give up (here we are)
We will never give up (here we are)
And oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
It's not over yet
It's not over yet
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
It's not over yet
Keep on fighting
Out of the dark
Into the light
It's not over
Hope is rising
Never give in
Never give up
It's not over
Yet, woah
are called "For King and Country."
The song can be heard on youtube. Now that your computer is fixed, get on the
internet!
There was frost on all the trees today. So pretty. Trying to appreciate the little things.
I Am Not Alone
Kari Jobe
LYRICS
When I walk through deep waters
I know that You will be with me
When I'm standing in the fire
I will not be overcome
Through the valley of the shadow
I will not fear
I am not alone
I am not alone
You will go before me
You will never leave me
You will go before me
You will never leave me
In the midst of deep sorrow
I see Your light is breaking through
The dark of night will not overtake me
I am pressing into You
Lord, You fight my every battle
Oh, and I will not fear
I am not alone
I am not alone
You will go before me
You will never leave me....
Yes, the little things.
Yesterday, the squirrel returned, up the ramp, onto the porch, a little knock on the screen door! Coming now daily just after 4 p.m. for treats.
Today, I was upset...Ratatouille came at 3 p.m., interrupted me, I sat on the porch while he nibbled the rice crispy treats right in front of me. Then I returned to finish the dishes.
I had the dishwater boiling soapy hot....as I came back dH was running cold water (just a little bit, he says!) into the dishpan.
Either that....or it is the sugar high, the more you eat, the more you want, the sooner you want it!
Rescheduling after seeing my therapist today, I told him I am no longer available at 4:00 p.m. because I have to feed the squirrel, and visit with the two hummingbirds. One was so little, it's beak is 1/4 inch longer this week! My porch is a real happening place now.
He said I am an empath.
How does "See you next year sound?"
The squirrel....wanting to foster independence in the wild thing....thinking maybe I should stop wearing a ponytail...he might start to think I am his mother.
