Blessed Laughter.
Fay Slimm. said:

You hit on the trait I feel is the best of healers my friend. - Laughter comes easily to those who light-hearted look for things to amuse and usually doing thus brings many blessings - - thanking you Andy for sharing this thought.

Blessed Laughter.
Bella Shepard said:

There is good reason why laughter is the best medicine. We even make light of bad situations by finding something humorous as a coping mechanism. Everything you say is oh so true, we are blessed! You\'ve chosen a honey of a clip with Victor Borge. I remember seeing him as a youngster, and as I watched I was laughing out loud, his timing was impeccable. Now I\'ll be driven to You Tube to find more. Thank You!!!

Joy and laughter are a necessity for happiness. The rest is just toothpaste!

Ella Wheeler Wilcox gave it a shot,
Although others had done so before.
Seems a universal truth, is it not?
And you are the latest since times of yore.

There are some universal truths which need to be freshly presented every so often as a reminder, lest they be forgotten – thanks Andy
(Victor Borge would give anyone a great laugh – including me years ago, though this one I’d never seen… Thanks again, Andy.)

Whilst laughter may not in itself be the panacea we are all looking for .. it most certainly bloomin well helps ................. Neville :)

Some folk just don\'t get the jokes, or are humourless.
But what \'comedy\' shows are there today? Mostly cringe-worthy ones where we say \'Laugh? I never even started!\'
I think of late-night shows: \'There\'s more rubbish I\'ve missed\' as I\'m in bed by then.

Bella Shepard said:

This is such a beautiful analogy. Having been a gardener in years past, I can relate to the feeling of hope that this lovely poem engenders. This is a definite fav for me.

Tomorrows Garden.
Doggerel Dave said:

You have just filled me full of envy -
No garden upstairs where I live;
But a bathroom very undry
Allows for a plant combative….

Tell ya ‘bout it later….

We just did another bout of \"pre-winter\" gardening. We\'re down to 4C now, we had to greenhouse some of the plants.

I love the metaphor used in this piece of reflection dear Andy - -Your words are wise on the need for hope that tomorrow will bring new blessings.

The power of music to transcend, to take you where you want to be, to lift the burdens of life, to relax. and bring peace. A fine tribute to music\'s bring harmony to an otherwise chaotic world. - Phil A.

There are artists and musicians that just adds to our humanity and inspires us to edge closer to our full potentials. Thanks Andy.

Music touches the soul where nothing else can reach. A nice write that takes me back to places I have been in my mind and soul.

Doggerel Dave said:

When it comes to music I’m no expert,
But I know what I like when I hear it.
However new instruction doesn’t hurt -
In the case of music I’m a half-wit.

Bad Drivers.
Bella Shepard said:

My friend you have no idea how much your rant is shared. People these days don\'t seem to be aware of what\'s going on around them, not good when you\'re behind the wheel. What\'s really annoying is when you pull up alongside and find they are staring at a cell phone. Safe travels!

i used to enjoy driving

Bad Drivers.
Doggerel Dave said:

I’d give it up if I were you -
Public Transport is all the go;
Employee drivers are the crew
Who will get you there free of woe.

There are days like that! It\'s like all hell broke loose. Some days are much better though.

Bad Drivers.
orchidee said:

Yep, and they who go zooming over pedestrian crossings when we\'re about to cross, causing Fido to tell me to \'tune it down\', in my unsaid response of ******** or similar!
We still gotta watch out too for those electric powered wheelchairs, and that\'s on the paths! They\'ll come at ya at 100mph. Which way to dive out of their way - left or right?

Slithered Moon Haiku.
dusk arising said:

Never heard of a moon described as slithering before. Trying to picture a snake-like moon in the sky.

Slithered Moon Haiku.
arqios said:

Love that rendition of that song. At first I was expecting Fly Me To The Moon because of the poem and its title. Shows you how one tracked my mind can be!

Slithered Moon Haiku.
Doggerel Dave said:

Do slither away, you very new moon;
Claim to be cutting the sky with your light?
Just wait ‘til you’re older and get it right.
This a golden rule I’ll institute soon.......

I cannot find a clear definition provided by Prof. Google, so I’ve made the assumption that this is a new moon. Please clarify – answer required (you have been missing in action several times recently, Andy – Lifestyle too lavish, or just getting old? 🙂🙂)
