I don’t have favorite people. Sure, there are some people I would rather spend more time with than others. There are some people who have traits and mannerisms that fall below my personal standard of annoyance. I’m not a snob. We all have an unspoken standard we measure people with. If a person happens to fall short of our measurement we fault them with a personality defect. What we are really saying though is that they didn’t meet our standard of non-annoyance. It’s true. In the back of our mind we are always judging others to see if they “make the cut.” So, no I don’t have favorites but I do have people who are a constant in my life.

People in Your Life
There are people in your life
you just met.
There are people in your life
that seem to have always been.

Look, this is all I’m looking for in a friend. No pun intended but by delightful accident.
And yes, I am that shallow. Apparently. Continue reading
As seen on TV (thank goodness only on tv)
It’s no secret I have wasted spent my fair share of time watching television. In my younger days, I was a sucker for romance stories and watched a lot of clunkers that promised a spark of romantic chemistry between characters. Now that I’m older, I have revisited or have attempted to revisit shows and movies I watched and loved as a youngster. Many times I am left wondering ‘what was I thinking?’
Here are a few characters I watched and now I realize they are fun to watch but I would never want to meet in person. Continue reading
Missing those TV show theme songs
Why did we get rid of theme songs for television shows? Who had that genius idea? I used to watch the opening montage during the season premier just to see the changes. It was good times. Sometimes it was the best part. Does anyone else miss it? Continue reading
Keep Going
The Walk
It makes my heart slow
to see you suffering so.
I have traveled that road
and carried a similar load.
Friendship
by Marilyn D. Lee
Friendship is something that doesn’t grow overnight.
It’s something you must work on with all your might.
A friend is someone to share good and bad times with,
a person who is real and not a story or myth.
To be able to have a friend to share God with,
is the greatest treasure there is on earth or in heaven.
My friendship for you has grown seven times seven.
If you need me at any time, don’t hesitate to give me a call.
I’ll be by your side without any excuses or a stall.
Remember your friend loves you very much.
Please remember this old funny such and such.

The art of conversation
Is the art of conversation becoming lost?
I’m not talking about that tricky talent of communication. This isn’t one of those discussions to help us communicate more effectively. I’m still trying to learn that myself.
No, I’m referring to conversation. Small talk, big talk, just talk in general. Let’s put aside the common liability of modern technology. I think most of us can agree we are all doing a pretty decent job of killing the English language one text and Facebook status at a time. Or maybe it’s our competitive mindset that we have to win everything. Even a simple conversation. Whatever it is, real and true conversations are beginning to be hard to come by.
On Your Side
So you had a bad day
but it’s kind of hard to tell
your life is a string of bad days
nothing ever works out well.
And throwing in the towel
is something you will never do
you just keep going and trying
someday it will turn around for you.
There are those who make fun
and just don’t understand
they knock you down
instead of lending a helping hand.
As you pick yourself up from the fall
let me tell you if it helps at all –
I’m on your side.
I am on your side.
I am
on
your side.
Bad luck follows you,
it finds you day and night
and you just can’t seem
to do anything right.
No matter how hard
or how often you try
it’s not good enough
and so you’re left to cry.
You often wonder if
you’re here on your own
and no one, no no one,
wants to face this world alone.
I’m pulling for you to win
to rise above the din.
I’m on your side.
I am on your side.
I am
on
your side.
We may never meet
but believe that
even if you
can’t see that
I’m on your side.
I am on your side.
I am
on
your side.
