... and good morning, Starshiners!
I've no idea why the little record player in my head began playing this at daybreak, but there you are! Some may remember 1969.
⭐
My goodness! How did it get to be Friday already without making time to sit down with some of my favorite humans?
It's easy to blame Blogger Reader, but honestly? Somedays it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Thank you for understanding.
Soooo, in between Life Lessons, here are a few moments that made me smile.
While at the library, I spotted this hanging in the children's reading room.
Why it affixed itself to my heartstrings, I've not a clue.
Nevertheless, I'm pondering buying a print ("The Fairy Tale") to put here in the office. Just because.
Silly, perhaps, that certain paper makes me happy -- but there's such a satisfying rich texture that makes writing even daily lists feel delicious.
My doctor suggests I eliminate caffeine? Um, that's a hard no!
Another suggestion - while highly improbable - made me giggle: Switch to your non-dominant hand!
Anyone else remember those heavy plaster casts?
Okay, here's an example. Just for giggles, done in Gregg Shorthand using my right hand.
Can you tell me what I've written?
Today's the One-Year Anniversary of the little ladies' group I started on a whim.
Some are new, others have gone -- but these loyal "Sistas in Christ" are dear.
Our server was too busy to take a photo of all of us. Later I took a selfie and asked AI to put me in the picture. This looks like Brenda's sitting on my lap and now I can't un-see it!
Well, I need to start getting ready for P.T. It's not hard, but neither is it fun. And, it beats yard work!
Have a wonderful time out there, everywhere!
Hugs, Myra
If you hadn't mentioned the photo mishap, I wouldn't have noticed it.You're right. Now I can't unsee it. 😄
ReplyDeleteMost importantly is that lovely group of ladies you gathered together to form a sweet fellowship. Happy One year of good times and good eats!
Thank you so much!
DeleteVery clever ... I think you attempted to write: good morning, Starshiners!
ReplyDeleteThat song takes me back years.
Praying for you and Tom. God bless.
Close ... but no.
DeleteYour prayers are so valued!
Here's a hint: Think an exercise in Typing Class 101.
DeleteSorry Mevely; I never learnt to type properly like professionals. Some of the people at work type without looking at the keyboard - I don't know how they do that. They listen to the dictation on tape and just type. Amazing.
DeleteGod bless always.
Happy 1 year anniversary to your group. You all are a great looking bunch. I did take shorthand in college, but it has long left this brain of mine. Hope your PT keeps moving forward and that you get some great improvement. Listen...I know I am on the edge of crazy, but one of my favorite stores is Office Depot. I could shop in there for a long time. I love the paper, the pens, the stationary...It's my happy place. go ahead and order the writing pads...If Tom asks you about them just tell him I said you needed to order them. LOL...have a blessed weekend..
ReplyDeleteHa! Doesn't Office Depot have the greatest aroma?!
DeleteWhen you figure out how the ear worm songs stick in our brains please let the rest of us know. While yours is an actual song I get things like the theme song from The Beverly Hillbillies stuck in my head. I walk around al day singing "Well listen to a story bout a man name Jed"
ReplyDeleteThe photo is so cute and I never would have noticed
anything if you had not mentioned it.
So, I'm not the only one?
Delete"... a poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed." (You're welcome, lol)
I'm a paper and pen lover too. I have way more than I could ever use. Recently I took a notepad to start recording my blood pressure. So at least I'm using one of the many. I too didn't notice anything wrong with the picture. I'm just glad you all get together! What a great group! Love, ma
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea to keep a log, Ma! I'm sure your doctor would appreciate it.
DeleteI love that song, Myra, and now I can't get it out of my head, either. What a great group of ladies, too, and if you hadn't pointed it out, I'd not have caught Brenda sitting on your lap. LOL, what AI can do! I'll take a copy of that print, too - takes me right back to my childhood.
ReplyDeleteYes. Me, too!
DeleteMyra ... thanks for the Ear Worm !!!!
ReplyDeleteHaHa
What a great group of ladies and I do like what AI has done ... even Brenda sitting on your lap ... Gives us all something to smile about.
Hope the PT goes well. Not "fun" but the alternative isn't either.
Gotta get busy doing some more eBay stuff. If only we had more sales for all the work we do to put things up ...
love you girlfriend
Sue
I'm the same way, Sue. Not to mention the cost of postage lately. Ugh!
DeleteI think that girl's group is wonderful and I wish I had one to belong too. I didn't notice that either until you said something. What happened to your hand? My hands hurt too much to literally write a lot.
ReplyDeleteIt's called an Essential Tremor, most likely hereditary. Fortunately, it doesn't hurt. Is yours arthritis?
DeleteAll I knew was the chorus to the song, but that much will be stuck in my head until some other song snippet jumps in :-)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it curious how that stuff happens?
Delete1969 was my h.s. graduation year, so this song is a good memory. You and your friends are blessed to have that group.
ReplyDeleteClass of '68 here! Oliver was my first concert.
DeleteNow is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country? Is that what you wrote in shorthand? I saw your clue, so then I looked at it, and I think that may be it, but I haven't done shorthand since high school. Thankfully I never needed it in any job, although I did have my own form of speed writing that only I could figure out. LOL. And yes, I remember that song. Good one.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of your group of ladies...they look like a happy and fun bunch. What a blessing to have them. Great photoshop picture, and yes I see it... So, this e.t., do they know what causes it? Is that what you are doing PT for? I hope it helps! We are both at the same age, when things start acting up I guess. I thank the Lord that most of my problems are quite minor, but the ones I don't like are ones that keep me from doing all the things I want to do but don't have the energy or drive to do anymore (like housework). Where's a "Merry Maid" when you need one? LOL. Oh, they don't work for free? That explains it. LOL. Have a blessed rest of your weekend.
Ka-ching! You deciphered my scribbles, even with my "wrong" hand!
DeleteOf course I remember 1969! I love the picture from your library. It will look great in your work area. I never took shorthand, but have been jealous of co-worker friends who did and could take great notes during Board meetings! Sending love and hugs your way, my friend! xo
ReplyDeleteLove you, Terri!
DeleteWhen I first saw the photo, before you explained . . .I thought "why is that lady sitting in her lap?" hahaha! Then I read your explanation. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely day my friend.
