Yes me too Vivien! 👏
Ah Blanche, don’t we all? Especially these days.
It’s all a bit surreal. Bad low budget movie that ends badly. Like “this can’t be real, right?”
‘I’ve always relied on the kindness of strangers’…great actors overplaying a great play to the hilt.
Do you think this is too much for a wrist tattoo? Or maybe just emblazoned across my forehead?!
Wrist is a bit more subtle.
Forehead. 64 point Font. Non-erasable black ink.
Don’t we all have the power to create our own magic? It’s not a wish, but a decision to have that state of mind….just sayin’.
As Zig would suggest (and I often quote) …you might not be able to change your facts, but you can always change your attitude.
Have an outstanding day!
Zig was genius. It’s ALL in the head.
And that, sir, is where the problem lies.
yes!
This is the scary part….I’ve had more than enough of realism. The buckets are full-to-overflowing…think Mr. Disney’s FANTASIA and Mickey’s idea of “greatness” backfiring.
Magic is looking pretty good, and only because it is beginning to feel like that is quickly becoming the only option available.
Agree Raye!
You want a Dog!
I do! That’s reality!
magic…. works for me! thanks David 🙂
Perfect for a Monday morning!
Perfect wake-up call…for me.
