Kate Bush - Moments Of Pleasure ... Sherrie! ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5P0v0kGauc&feature=PlayList&p=14D5F822BB83E362&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=1

Some moments that I've had
Some moments of pleasure

I think about us lying
Lying on a beach somewhere
I think about us diving
Diving off a rock into another moment

The case of George the Wipe
Oh God I can't stop laughing
The sense of humour of mine
It isn't funny at all
Oh but we sit up all night
Talking about it

CHORUS
Just being alive
It can really hurt
And these moments given
Are a gift from time

On a balcony in New York
It's just started to snow
He meets us at the lift
Like Douglas Fairbanks
Waving his walking stick
But he isn't well at all
The buildings of New York
Look just like mountains through the snow

CHORUS

Just let us try
To give these moments back
To those we love
To those who will survive

And I can hear my mother saying
"Every old sock meets an old shoe"
Isn't that a great saying?
"Every old sock meets an old shoe"
Here comes the Hills of Time

Hey there Maureen
Hey there Bubba
Dancing down the aisle of a plane
'S Murph playing his guitar refrain
Hey there Teddy
Spinning in the chair at Abbey Road
Hey there Michael
Do you really love me
Hey there Bill
Cold you turn the lights up?

I have a warm home, a fully stocked kitchen so my boys have plenty of food, warm clean beds, music playing, candles lit, my cat snuggled up next to me....my car in the driveway that's payed off, a couple of small gifts for my boys, my friends here, and a few in real life...
I just don't think it's get much better than that.

I am extremely grateful right now, very humbled by how fortunate I am.

... I echo ALL that, ((((((((Lori)))))))) ...

I'm grateful that I can be a strength to ((((((((Sherrie)))))))) in her time of need and grief and loss ...

... And just love her, hold her, breathe for her ...

I wish I could give her a big hug right now...

Hold that thought and prayer and you really ARE ... We ARE corded!

I well understand though, I long to hug her in the flesh as well ...

So grateful I've been SO supernaturally blessed w/ such grace, fortitude, optimistic positivity, respect, ability to dream and manifest them, ability to love and care, a great sense of humour, creativity, a sound mind and ability to process, adventurousness, such ease to make friends, and the abundance of penetrating light and so much magic in my life!!!

I take no credit ... ALL good things come from ABOVE ...


... Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEEzbFxEbB8


I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a BLESSED candle's what I found

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

You don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me

I woke up and I was still breathing this morning.

I am very happy.

... The ole In~out, In~out, eh??? ...

Not exactly but the ole clockwork is still ticking.

And we are very happy you woke up breathing and are with us...

And I am happy you are happy.

I am happy that you are happy that I am happy...

... Merry, Merry, Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy ...


... We are sooooo BLESSED! ...


May this be (((((((ALL 'OURS')))))))) Year, that the Heavens open wide and bestow upon us ALL infinite blessings and treasure beyound possible comprehension and scope!


...

Oprah once ended each interview w/ the question:

"What do you KNOW"???

The young would always wax tre philosophical on world peace, the meaning of life, etc. ...


... One of Meryl Streep's, a seasoned woman by then:


"I know I feel most beautiful right after I wash my hair!"

... Me too, feelin' gorgeous in THIS moment! ...

Happy to be on this side of the grass.

Grateful another young friend has made it back from Iraq...although he will never be the same, grateful I was here for him, even though it broke my heart.

Blessed to be granted MemberShip in this mysterios union that I refer to as ...

... "THE SistahHood" ...

... Comrades in arms ... Leave NO Sistah behind! ...
