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?
Just guessing that the admins are doing their job unbeknownst to us.
They must be monitoring posters whose goal is to cause trouble over religious discussions and politics.
Shakespeare wrote:
“Now let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot. Take thou what course thou wilt.”
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
End.
Out-take:
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it.
And-which is more-you'll be a caregiver so done.
This land was made for you and me!
This thread is your thread, This thread is my thread
From Bonavista to Vancouver Island
From the Arctic Circle to the Great Lakes waters,
This thread is made for you and me...
From California, to the New York island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the gulf stream waters
And beyond the waters, beyond the boundaries,
This thread was made for you and me.
Finally, after 2.5 years in this rural area, found someone to cut my hair. It has always been long, still is. I am just very picky about someone trying something new. Today, as a walk in, cut six inches from my hair that was within a few inches of my waist, and I am 5'10" tall! This woman did a great job! Feeling almost human again, and much lighter! She could even tell where to part my hair, it will not part in the middle and that is where most hair stylists usually try to part it for a cut. Then I am very unhappy if it is done that way. One side will end up being an inch and a half longer than the other side. So happy with the way it turned out!
God gets all the credit!
Caregivers are good people!
I told Alexa to beam me up just to see my mom’s face when she heard the Star Trek theme. Hahaha
Lord of the Rings is fantastic! Beautifully written and the movie was beautifully filmed. You have excellent taste.
Anyway beam me up, Scotty—too many illogical people on this planet!
there used to be a favorite fish restaurant that served a whole catfish
I always would offer a dollar to any in our party if they’d order it
never had any takers 😂
“If I gotta eat catfish heads all my life, can't I have 'em off a plate ONCE?”
can you finish this line from the movie
ah heck, if I have to eat catfish the rest of my life, can't I at least ....
You will find quite a few threads are meant for stress relief, to just lighten up a bit when we just can't make it to the ocean.
I would love to just walk on the beach right now.
