To those thrilling days of yester year…

when Tv was only in black & white.

How many of these shows do you remember?

(The older you are the easier it should be)

How many shows can you name?

How many actors can you name?

How old do you feel now?

The Answers….

Back to blogging

It’s been a while since I blogged as a regular routine. Why? Well, perhaps it has something to do with inspiration. Inspiration that generally comes from changes and new adventures… with a little imagination thrown in to spice it up a bit… keep it interesting and fresh. Haven’t done much traveling lately, and it certainly seems that the same old, same old doesn’t do much for the inspiration. Working too much doesn’t help much either. Semi retired and working too much over the past year doesn’t inspire or spark the imagination… so I haven’t blogged hardly at all. Creativity definitely takes a hit. Perhaps I can turn that around and make some new posts that on a regular basis. Too much attention was going into Facebook, which of late is not what I’d hoped it would be.

Inspiration? Well… I never thought that living at the beach could be nothing short of inspiration overload. Spring has definitely sprung and the weather is beautiful.

The morning shines to a new day.

Warm and sunny…

Relax and just take it all in.

The beaches here between Destin and Pensacola are simply some of the best. So what’s not to be inspired about? Believe it or not, sometimes even at the beach, it’s the same thing everyday. Not to be taken for granted, but simply enjoyed for the relaxing quality of nature. Simply enjoyed for what it is. Quietly soaking in the beauty of nature and getting lost in the moment. Nothing new to write about, just life at the beach. Nothing new… simply the beach… which is always a welcome escape.

Visitors are always welcome.

Ahhh… toes in the sand.

Until the next post… be happy and have fun!

Reflections…

Reflections of my Life.

You can sit in a quiet place, alone with your thoughts.

You can look at old photos, or go to old places.

or you can listen to the music of your life.

Music can take you to places and memories all of the times of your life. Finding a quiet space, alone, without distractions… listening to song after song… and remembering all the places they take you to. All the people your think of with each song from the past. Not that they were a special song, not like “our song”, but just songs that were in the right place at the right time, when a memory was created. So many places and so many people. The happiness and emotions that surrounded all those memories. Wonderful feelings, and a rush of wellbeing rises from your heart to cover your soul.

Wow… so these are the things that happen when you get older?  Maybe not… they really happen all your life… they just become more cherished as your get older. So Music is a Reflection of My Life.

While I enjoy all the sounds of today… the music that will someday in the future reflect all the memories of today… I truly enjoy the music of the past as I reflect on past memories. All with smiles and a the warm feelings of times gone by, but not forgotten. Plus… it’s just fun to listen to all the “oldies”.

So what Reflections of My Life do I have? Sorry… that’s strictly personal and private.

Listen to the music of the past… and reflect on your own life. Ahhh… perfection.
