Tuesday Music (Thank God)

I'm not religious. But I'm adding this song to my music playlist!

Sing along optional: 

Don't know how I got you
I couldn't ask for more
Girl, what we got's worth thanking God for

Part 2

THIS DAY, last year

i was stabbed in the back

1000 times:

i’ve never liked knives. 

Part 1

THIS DAY, last year 

i anticipated 

a bouquet 

of orange roses

with a card, reading:

    "congratulations 

    you did it

    you made it

    i'm so proud of you."

but that

never happened.

no card.

no roses.

no tidings of joy. 

oh well.

life isn't a 

hallmark movie

but sometimes

on the rare occasion 

i really, really

wish it was. 

1, 2, 3... photo booth.

Canadian researchers warn of 'cascading impacts' as bumblebee species decline 

We all depend on the survival of bees 

What can you do for the bees? Grow a garden! 

Over the past several weeks, I have been planting a wild garden to support bee health and survival.

Question #4

Question: Any long weekend plans?

My answer: Hmmm... I would like to go for a long walk. 

untitled

for days now

    a little blue bird 

    has been following me around:

    i’m living the real-life version 

    of that carpenters song.

disposable hearts

from "i love you so much"

to "so long" "bye":

like everything else 

in our throw-away society

love has become expendable

single-use only 

toss away

cheap. 

layover

you pace 

back and forth

in an abandoned field 

besides an asphalt wasteland 

searching for buried gold 

i watch and stare but eventually 

your wings take to the sky, gone

set out on a new adventure 

no flight plan

I (don't) drink wine

Adele "I Drink Wine"

Sing along optional: 

Why am I obsessing
About the things I can't control?
Why am I seeking approval
From people I don't even know?

In these crazy times I hope to find 
Something I can cling on to
'Cause I need some substance in my life
Something real, something that feels true

Yesterday, I went to a wedding -- Charlie's Angels Style.

Moonstruck

I love full moons. Tonight (May 5th), another full moon will light up the sky.

Full moons make me think of Moonstruck (1987), a film starring Cher and Nicolas Cage. I think it's time to pop some popcorn. 

Thinking Out Loud

All the talk today -- Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud". This Sheeran hit is one of my favourite songs. If a guy asked me to dance, and this song was playing, I think my heart would melt. 

Sing along optional:

'Cause honey your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen
Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory

I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

But baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are, oh

Mental Health Week

It's Mental Health Week (May 1-7). All week I'm encouraging you to give and show care to yourself and others. I'm kicking off Mental Health Week with a song: 

                    Roxette's "Listen To Your Heart"💕

Sing along optional: 

I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
You've built a love but that love falls apart
Your little piece of Heaven turns too dark
