IN BETWEEN

For those in need of soulfood, inspiration, a good giggle

Retired and Extremely Dangerous..well almost…

Golly gosh!? Ernest Borgnine’s still alive? And I’m so familiarizing with Helen Mirren? Pleased to have Morgan Freeman and Bruce Willis on my side…? I’m not quite retired sure but!

Sunday afternoon, dithering, trying to settle newly purchased wheat pack ‘just so’ on lower back pain brought about by exercise, while settling in to watch gloomy Sunday DVDs…chuffed that I’m totally across Blue Ray, thinking we could readily have rented direct from iTunes via Apple remote…but hey! Its a great DVD choice this ‘RED’ from the soon  to be extinct video library. Mind is screaming…’is this pain symptom a part of the aging process?’ 55th birthday’s looming and I’m ruminating…shite! Is it all down hill from here? And why does this cast look so goddamn old? I remember when Ernest was Charlie…but there I go…it’s classic symptom of old age

Voiced my thoughts at brekky this morn, my loving companions reassured…’you’re so energetic for your age, always the one with zero injuries to report at Pilates’ but am I feeling reassured? No!

But then I pause, listen and observe as Elmo…youthful and so full of vibrance, discusses the dreams, hopes and aspirations of our future while lovingly reheating the wheat pack, tucking me in, topping up my wine and compassionately nodding as I whinge about my ailment…and suddenly everything feels better…mortality be damned!!

Finding Moo’s inner well of courage…friend on a mission!

So many of my favorite people have been diagnosed with various forms of cancer recently…some in the midst of battle, some in nervous remission, others rejoicing in a long term clean bill of health…all fighting or having fought the good fight against this insidious creature.

A dear friend who has been gallantly fighting her own battle has just been delivered new, disarming news requiring her to draw deeply on yet another of her inner wells of reserve. She is strong, brave and absolutely determined to grow old with her babies and doting husband. I know that she draws inspiration and courage from kick ass, uplifting songs…all types of fabulous ‘go feck yourself’ pieces of music. My mission is to build a compilation of the best of the best.

Help me help my friend Moo fight the fight. My mission? To build Moo a playlist she can plug her iPod earphones into…sing along to, scream at, draw inspiration from or lull herself to sleep by.

All who are receiving my blog feeds and anyone finding my blog when searching for their own personal inspirations….please post me some of your personal faves?

Thank you in anticipation fellow supporters of survivors on a mission. Love u Moo…we will conquer! Oh yes we will! ♥

Staying true

I was given this beautiful piece to serve as a reminder about remaining true to oneself during a very sad and difficult time…’The Invitation’…I hope you too find it inspirational.

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
