~Favorite Life Song's~





Frank Sinatra - That's Life


That's life, that's what people say.

You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May.
But I know I'm gonna change their tune,
When I'm right back on top in June.

That's life, funny as it seems.
Some people get their kicks,
Steppin' on dreams
But I just can't let it get me down,

Cause this big old world keeps spinnin' around.

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
But I know one thing:
Each time I find myself flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That's life, I can't deny it,

I thought of quitting,
But my heart just won't buy it.
Cause if I didn't think it was worth a try,
I'd have to roll myself up in a big ball and die.

Mike & The Mechanics - The living Years


Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations

Come beating on your door

I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him
In the living years

Crumpled bits of paper

Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got

You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language

Talking in defence

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future

It's the bitterness that lasts

So don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don't give up,
And don't give in
You may just be OK


Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

I wasn't there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say.

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him
In the living years

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear

It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

Had a grueling PT session last evening - the therapist did some manipulation of the area on my right side where I tore the muscles - obtained some relief for the evening. Woke up this morning in exquisite pain. Drove in to the office without causing harm to myself or to any other person. On heavy painkillers (Tramodol) so I should be able to stick it out the rest of the day.

Good morning LUV and (((HUGS))). There were some real impressive rain totals yesterday. I saw some Houston posters saying they had over 4” and some place SW from there had almost 10”.

The news just had a report that some oil field workers were trapped on a rig in Lee county but have been rescued this morning. That is my old stomping grounds.

When I went over 200 late last year, I decided to do something. I’m back under 180 for the first time since 1992 when I got the supervisor job.

LOL

I use Boiron Arnica Gel

I order mine from Vitamin Shoppe where they come in twin pack.

Hubby and I love the stuff. So does my youngest son. My mother now loves it for her arthritis.

Good for you.

Hubby is ok with me being “pleasingly plump” but I’m not.
