F-R-E-E-D-O-M!!!!  

9/10/2009 11:23 pm
F-R-E-E-D-O-M!!!! I got in my new(used) 1991 Toyota Corolla today(well..a few hours ago it was)and drove myself to Burlington to spend the day running some errands. Some of you know that I have been without 'wheels' since D. left in December. The sky was the prettiest blue, the sun was shining, and I had a country station(what else?)on..a singing to my hearts content. The song playing happened to be an oldie..Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie..some of you
old timers here might remember that one *wink* Not exactly country
but nice all the same. I hit up all my favorite spots after my errands, and my timing was good. I was able to get the most soft, luxurious, turkish robe(soft pink flowers on a white background)for $3.75, a set of 4 palest blush colored wine glasses for $4.00,
some NEW underwear for .50 cents each, a small handmade pillow that says..'Grandmas are just antique little girls.' It made me chuckle, so now it's setting on my new(used)brass bed. Albeit, little things..inexpensive for sure..but things that I needed, some for the body..and some for the soul. It truly is nice to be a part of society again..I have never taken things for granted, but I have this stronger, more keen, appreciation now..for each second I am granted to partake of this wonderful thing called life.

Ready? Sing along with me.."Bye~bye Miss American Pie" haha!

Its great to see someone getting such pleasure out of some of the simplest things in life. We all tend to get so wrapped up in materialism that we forget its just ‘stuff’ , baggage. Enjoy your car and safe driving. and I am singing along!

I am so glad to see you in a good mood

That i will sing along with you .."Bye~bye Miss American Pie" , I dove my chevy yo the levee, but the levee was dry, and them good ol boys were drinking whiskey and rye singing this will be the day that i die

If I remember right, this song was about the President John F Kennedy and the guys who were drafted to go to Vietnam ... funny thing is it is such a happy song with a catchy rhythm

Live the life that you love, and love the life that you live

Hi tex, I didn't realize that the song was about former President Kennedy and Vietnam Yes, I have always thought it a happy song..now the words..'this will be the day that i die' take on a..sad meaning(the men who never came home). I am in a good, positive, happy mood The feeling of freedom is important for the soul. Hey..there's three of us singing together now(William too)don't we sound GREAT!!! Hope your weekend is real nice there in Texas

Hiya miss Grace

I guess sometimes ist all too easy to take for granted all the many GOOD things we have in life...

Things other people have to fight for with their lives..
Like starvation, democracy and natural disasters to name just a
few...

Welcomes back (from the world of 'on hold') to the world of the living!!

And hello to you DocZaf You're so right about that..until life 'slaps you across the head' and FINALLY gets your attention, and
it FINALLY has mine. It doesn't make us a bad person for taking things for granted though..it just makes us human. Thank you for the
'Welcome back' to the world of the living! What a wonderful feelingThanks for stopping by.
