Friday Potpourri: Nov 6

Good Friday morning, all!

I am full of interesting thoughts today. Been playing lots of great music lately, spinning classic rock and new tunes that speak to the heart. I have a little MP3 player that’s loaded with lots of my favorites, from Boz Skaggs to Rob Thomas, Richard Marx to Boy George. Lyrics are sparking reflection and inspiration. So many good songs!

Starting next week, I’ll be posting old and new favorites. Please help me— share yours, one or two lines that inspire you, make you feel, whether it’s a good feel, a melancholy mood or just gets your feet movin’.

I’ll prime the pot with this. Of course this is a gimme for me, since it’s been one of my most favorite romantic songs of all time.

“You’re my survival, you’re my living proof, my love is alive and not dead.”

He was once called “Mr. Romantic” and he can be my cryin’ shoulder anytime he wants. It’s become a wedding reception favorite, has been heard in more than one major motion picture, and I have an acoustic version that makes me swoon. This song is 12 years old. Do you know it?

The Lioness

I was interviewed this week at Writers in Residence. Always fun, always great hanging out with the Jackies—Houchin and Vick. Check it out when you have a free moment.

Animal update: Moesha got a haircut! OMG, it cost me $200 because she had to be fully sedated, but it was well worth it. She is a new kitty! Those mats were hurting her, adding to her already borderline testy moodiness. They fairly shaved her, gave her a “lioness” cut. Her tail looks like a paintbrush! She is so much happier and healthier now. Not the best picture, but I’m lazy.

I see the Christmas stuff is beginning to sneak into the stores. It will be here before we know it. Maybe we can keep each other sane over the holidays.

Have a brilliant weekend!
