THOUGHTFUL THURSDAYS

Lately I feel like I've been getting away from the true meaning of  Thoughtful Thursdays.

It was originally designed to calm the spirit of the agitated, sooth the twisted nerves of the nervous, make dejected, rejected folks feel they are truly loved.

That's why I always wrote Thoughtful Thursdays in soft, non-threatening colors, and used words like, calm, soothing, peaceful, love, and soft.

As I walked our adorable Yorkie (Benji) last evening the weather was so perfect.

Balmy is the word I would use, if I knew what it meant.

However, I DO know that balmy means crazy in the U.K., but the weather was nowhere near crazy at all.

In fact, the soft, warm, soothing breeze, calmed my agitated spirit, and brought a feeling of love and peace into my dilapidated old heart.

The scent of the spring flowers filled my nostrils as fragrantly and gently as a bunch of really old lady hippies shuffling into a James Taylor concert on a Tuesday afternoon.

Benji turned his head around and looked at me ever so sweetly, as if to say, "man, you're SLOW!"

My mind drifted back to my childhood... playing baseball, wrestling with my buddies, going swimming, watching the cute girls walk by, coming to realize I am from another planet.

Great memories, indeed!

You may fondly recall how I would usually try to include a mellow, yet, uplifting song to relax your weary soul, as if you were a savage beast about to eat me alive, and I played music that made you get up on your hind legs and dance around like a ballerina!

Here is a sweet, relaxing song to conclude this virgin of Thoughtful Thursdays...

Because... by Lennon...McCartney
