…and on the sixth day…
the good Lawd Created…
~~FRIDEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!~~
The Daily News
1 Well we seem to have made it to Frideeeeeee!!!!
2 I’ve reached a point in life where I’m happy if I make it through the next ten, fifteen minutes.
3 That’s why I had to slip y’all a coupla Mickeys yesterday!
4 I’ve spent the second part of my life running from hospitals every chance I get.
5 I remember a long time ago my Mom telling me that she spent a goodly part of her life waiting in hospital waiting rooms.
6 At this point in life, I’m beginning to understand that.
7 Anyway, each time something GOOD happens, and everyone is well, I always thank everyone who helped.
8 MY health has been fine, but I’ve been watching lots of people lifted off to hospitals the past three years, and thankfully most have returned home safe and sound.
9 And each time I come home from visiting, I always appreciate how lucky I’ve been, and I also want to take a walk in a park, or sip on a Peach Pleasure Jamba Juice, or eat some Oreos and cold milk, or MAYBE even rake some leaves.
10 I also like to see people. It’s just nice to see people you know and love.
11 I remember a song by Paul Simon of Simon and Garfunkel fame. It’s called Duncan. The song is a nice little ditty; a guy named Lincoln Duncan has a wonderful night, an absolute “garden of delight” and afterwards he goes outside to play his guitar! Here are the lyrics:
I was playing my guitar
lying underneath the stars just
thanking the Lord for my fingers,
for my fingers…12 Ah yes.
13 Sometimes I just thank the Lord for all sorts of things I take for granted.
14 It’s not a bad idea.
15 It’s so easy these days to complain and get angry and miserable. SO easy.
16 But each time I begin to do that, I look up and see a hazy Autumn moon, or a pinkish cloud on a November afternoon, or even a cat suddenly burst around a corner and I’ll realize things.
17 Or a fantazmic Frideeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
18 It’s early afternoon as I write this.
19 As always, all sorts of stuff has gone wrong this week. Things I wanted to get done I didn’t. Gas prices are low but everything else has skyrocketed. I saw a sack of jasmine rice that was close to twelve bucks, which will look like quite the deal a year from now.
20 You know, the usual thousand natural shocks.
21 But other things happened. Other things opened my eyes to how our lives, as Thoreau put it, are “frittered away with detail”.
22 Ain’t it the Truth.
23 So I’m flying high this Frideeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
24 I’m sorta thinking of playing my guitar and lying underneath the stars.
25 I’ve a great deal to think aboot these days.
26 Enjoy everything life could bring you this weekend, even if it’s just a Peach Pleasure Jamba Juice, or even thanking the Lawd for my guitar, my fingers, my friends, family, and Frideeeeeeee!!!!!
27 Play like you earned it.
28 Have a great one.
29 Peace.
