Nashville

I know I am late posting today... Have been trying to get back to doing a post a day again, which is good for me... Unfortunately my mind has so many things going on and I cannot get it to turn off... I have a long rambling rant of a post (relates to pregnancy/marriage/casual FB posts) - as well as many photos from my one (unexpected and therefore extra special) trip to France a couple years back.

Since I cannot settle I am sharing a You.Tube clip of sisters (both in real life and on the show) from the tv show Nashville.  Their mom is a famous country singer (I LOVE country music and Christmas music!!!) and one night she lets her daughters do sound check.  The sisters sing (and play) the song "Ho Hey" by the Lumineers... Technically I think the phrase to use is "the sisters covered the song 'Ho Hey' by the Lumineers" -- anyway, here it is (hopefully -- if it does not show up perhaps you can at least see the link?)

P.S. Other favorite tv shows at the moment include BONES, Revenge, Covert Affairs, Scandal, and re-runs of Friends.  You know, just in case you had the urgent need to know what I am recording recently. Okay, going before THIS turns into more rambling! Happy December!

A society grows

"A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in." ~Greek Proverb

I am in a thoughtful, restless, tired, calm, and slightly confused place in my mind. I do plan on putting things aside to watch "Covert Affairs" however (I watched "Revenge" on Sunday and "Bones" yesterday). Yes. Random. Shopping tomorrow I think, get some gifts for others.  Also the library...

Pretty Moon

The moon looked very full, bright, and pretty late last night when I went out into the backyard around 2am.  (Yes, another night of not going to sleep at midnight, but luckily today was not busy so it worked out -- plus I had accidentally fallen asleep for about two hours in the late afternoon!)... The past few days I have been trying to focus more on positive things although I realize there are several people I am missing -- yes, that includes my young godson and his twin sister :)

The photo I put into the post yesterday is really a great one -- I think the combination of nature, the night sky, and how the trail did not end but continued to curve out of sight -- it was a good reminder that enjoying things is alright and at the same time when there does not seem to be an end to a road there is still more road to travel and things to hope for.  Although some days hoping does not bring any type of "happy ending" so I do not know...

Last week I started to really get into television shows again (I am still reading of course!). If I had to pick just two shows that I really love still they would be "BONES" and "Revenge" -- yet I realized there are perhaps six or seven shows a week I try to watch!  I have been slightly better about walking the past couple of weeks and while I still need to do errands and/or walk every day, I do see it as a good thing that I keep trying to improve at least a bit every week.

Oh!  Last note -- went for a massage today! Had not gone in... a very long time - it helped my muscles relax which was needed!
