Good Day (22)

I’d like to wish iconic jazz legend Dave Brubeck a happy 90^th birthday on Monday.

Pianist with the Dave Brubeck Quartet whose classic lineup included Paul Desmond, sax; Eugene Wright, bass; and for my money, the best jazz drummer ever,the equally legendary  Joe Morello.

His most memorable composition with Paul Desmond must be Take 5, which I was surprised to hear on an X Factor TV advert recently, and thought at 90, Dave Brubeck still has the X Factor. 

You like your music dont' you Paul...now this guy I have heard of more then once...so I accept what your saying..he knows his stuff.

Hello everyone else....I'm finally out of bed for an bit without pain...lordy lordy...enough I went back an got me some more books to read concerning "Christmas" the first one "Escape to God"..How our family left the Rat Race behind to search for Genuine Spiritualityand the simple life..By an Jim Holnberger who has presented as an speaker God's word in every state and 13 countries since then. The second book is part of the Scolastic School Book series on "Dear America" in people' diaries of their lives in the past...this one says..Nov. 25, 1932....This is going to to be an odd Christmas, no doubt about it..Instead of sugar plums and stockings stuffed with goodies and stacks of presents under the tree, a Time of Bounty, I am thinking of this as The Time of Dwindling. Everything is diminshing...our money, the light of day, and even the hours that Papa works. But in my heart, I know we Swifts are tough...hardened off like those seedlings, I just know that somehow, someway, this shall be Christmas...Indiana 1932. Produced by Katherine Lasky.

I bought one for inspiration of "quieter" times and one to see if I can understand how past people living in difficult times made ti through them.

I loan my kids all that I have..well we went out there today to give her some pure Austrialian Tea Tree Oil...for rmedical purposes..and my grandson took me over to see this ornament on their tree..it had an tiny train going around and around..with an New York sky scraper background..he likes the movie "Polar Express"...well I didnt' have the heart to tell him that about 25 years ago I was presented that Hallmark ornament in my ladies group I use to belong to..how she got is beyond me, but she has an lot of my Christmas stuff now. It would probably eventually go to them anyway. But he is missing here the fact it came from "grandmother" not his mom....it would be nice she told him the truth someday. Our yearly tree top is a old night light and tree top made the year my son was born some 32 years ago also. it is extremely fragil now...the night light spins and creates an shadow on the ceiling and the top part of it is an fancy work of sculptured art in an temple like look to it..or old world spire. She also has my old carved wooden Christmas ornaments also. I was feeling rather glad when they took some of this home, because I buy more every year it seems like...and I  know for them to do things without it they would be very scarce of seasonal decorations. They seem to be enjoying making this house "theirs" this year in the strangest of ways at times. She has only three pieces of it that we have not bought for her in the entire furnishings. I let things go for now...they are young. I am able to help her..because I save everything and many things I have shared have.... an story behind them. They struggle between wanting "independence" and not being able to afford it...and at times they are thankful for the help they get and at other times..not. They take it for granted.  I woke up an roaring bitch today...having slept for nearly 11 hours...but I am finally out of pain for the first time since last week and couple of days prior pain free and three weeks prior to that. in such pain I was on crutches at times. I go tme some stuff today that will help to stop any more cases of "shingles" as an offset from tramatic stress...and the emergency hospital gave me some stuff to curb the gout pain..but it says it can also lead to an fatal heart attack for heart patients also...and so far I've not taken any of it...THEY can " drop dead" should  they need pain relief...nice aren't I..ahem. for now I'd like to retreat and find MY "God" in my heart again.... without other bodily " spirit" attachements me thinks. I know there is no real "Christmas" for me... until I do. I am slowly calming down again...but its taking time...as if something was "released" from days before. I see so much inhmanity going on these days by people that should know better...I am ashamed of many of us that think they know how to lead the way for others...when the real score is personal gain using others. That is why I need to go into an soul searching again so I can manage facing the world daily. If I don't I will probably lose my abilty to "heal" for it stems from " truth" to begin with..not others.There is an cure for everything out there if people would allow the answers to flow freely.... I go for now...another week begins.

If I had an tiny light...an precious littl e  thing....and I opened my hand...and it came to life with it's glow...and I said..this can be yours...you know...what will you with it?...will you clamp your hand back down tight and not let anyone see this little light....will you open your hand wide and let it " die" by falling out of your hand to the ground....will you clap your hands together and in that abuse of doing something unintellgient.... destroy it. Will you catlouge it an file it away for ever until you "need it"...or will you enjoy it for what it is and learn to cherish it and in time share it with your closest freinds and those that know what an precious little thing it is to have...this little light is "God's light"...it is "love" given to us from the creator to grow so tremedous that ALLl can see it and point it out an say...Look...there's that wonderful "God light of Love" again to warm us and delight us in our world. She seems to have that to take care of and it's good...and we all know it...and then you understand the reason behind real tears when an person passes on and the little light is no more. You may have riches, you may not...you may have degrees wothy, you may not....you may be physically well and one to behold, you may not....but know this....take care of this precious little one...and nuture it...... It means your salvation and happiness. 

I am really glad you had a pain-free day Shirley and I wish you many, many more of them.

Hi everyone, I wish you all a wonderful day

Thank you Cathy..that seems more into "God's way" to be living. I am an firm beleiver he did not make us to be unhealthy...in pain...and with sorrow...do you know about the 13th stargate...sounds like an TV show....but its real..it's in Iraq....one reason "Bush" wanted Iraq in what he considered the "proper control"...my birthdate is 6/13/48...I think it concerns me. I only now am able to understand much of it.  I wonder at times..if it also concerns the 12 "fisher kings" painted on the Egyptian walls of thier ancient history....Thoth and the Emerald Tablets are an interesting read. Almost like there are 13 pillars to creation given by God...and this is all an part of it. Someday maybe I understand about it all..the masonic lodge...the mystics and stargates and Jesus role..he was to said through his death to been an "fisher king" leagacy also. Thoth says that they are the "spirit" of planetary creation...sort of the circle of elites under God. There seems to be people living and dying for this cause of serving others to be in the realm in ways. I kept thinking of this while I had these blisters on me recently...Thoth says that the heavens are ruled by God...(his essence)... deep in the center of the earth...like the sun.   When Moses or Abraham comes on the "burning bush" and he hears the word of God...and he is shown that there is an "fire" but it does not destroy..that this is like "God" in his ways. god purifies and does not harm. Now it is time to get ready for Christmas and I have much to do today....have an good one everyone. God does not want people to make attachments to me,or me to them...it is for an higher purpose that mankind not understand.... nor control. Sorry my postings are so long recently.

And yes, I am finding ways to beleive in Christmas this year...though it's financially bringing me down on my knees sort of to say....but spirit and mankind's " works" are seldom compatible. God has no need for money. We should make our planet much like that and everyone would be in"tune" an bit better.

Hi sk..I have read these postings of yours and actually find them to be rather interesting and not jibberish at all. I used to live in the states but am here in England now and have been for a number of years now. I luv it here and my entire family is in the states. I can understand your views and thoughts on what you are saying here, as I can relate them to what I knew while in the states and the general views or mind-set that can exist in some parts of the states, but I am willing to hear all you have to say on this topic and look forward to hearing more from you. Take care of yourself and see you again on here...hugs....

Hi everyone, hope you will all have a wonderful day.

Thoughts and prayers still for Krissy's Mum, Peter, Anna & Don.

Has anyone heard from Peggy recently??
