Happy Trad.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Brian Here ~ Good Friday Uncle Andy ~ Love the Charlston great Dance for Weddings - all the seniors love it and it gets every one on the Floor ! Angela & I love Trad Jazz and Angela can make a fair attempt on the Ivories & I have the Guitar Chord sequences to lots of them. I heard Barber - Ball & Bilk in Concert (separate not together !) a privilege even in their DOTAGE. BALL (2013) & BILK (2014) are now part of the BIG JAZZ band in Glory but CHRIS BARBER is still playing on @ 90 ! Theirs was a great era in British Jazz never to be repeated. My DAD can do a fair Scott Joplin impression and loves Jazz as much as Classical ~ AMEN. As you say JAZZ goes straight to the FOOT via the SOUL !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela - Brian & Smokey ! ! !

Happiness Butterfly.
ForeverJesus7 said:

I really like this poem. This is the story of alot of people\'s lives. At the moment, but for a short while, it is a chapter of mine. Without even thinking it, I know that my butterfly will land right next to me.
Again this is an excellent piece.
Persistence is key

Very interesting content in your work today Mr Goldfinch and I\'m going to give you my take on happiness and out of reach.
For all of us there are things which make us happy and have made us happy and these mix with that which brings us sadness in the moment and in the past..... it can all be there more or less at the same time. Joy at seeing someones mirth can be felt at the same time as feeling sadness for someone we know or have known who cannot see what we see or be able to take part in such mirthful activity.
So for me, I focus upon what has brought me happiness and hold it in my demeanor, I smile a lot. I am happy knowing that the sadness I carry is at the back of my mind, easily accessible behind a door ajar and does not darken my outlook.
I think you have a similar way about you for it would be hard for you to be such a positive individual otherwise. I hope so.

And sometimes we don\'t know we have it till we see it fly away! Which reminds me I saw the most amazing butterfly yesterday right by my front door and it\'s very late in the season... I think it was Jay\'s soul.

Good write Gold. Just don\'t get me started on Ken Dodd\'s \'Happiness\'. Of course he was happy defrauding, etc, while WE were paying.

Yes the rain certainly does cleanse in this toe of Cornwall\'s south west - a relatable haiku dear Andy.

dusk arising said:

The rain is perpetual and gives us so much, not least among it\'s gifts is the gift of appreciating sunny days when the rain is out of mind.
Long may you enjoy the days ahead regardless of weather... stay at home and listen to some music when the weather is uninviting.

orchidee said:

Oh lol, one of my brothers and his girlfriend, go to the 1066 town too, usually for Fireworks Display - but I don\'t think it\'s on this year. Though the organisers may say \'Cooeee, we\'re here; it\'s on!\' Well, they might not say \'cooeee\'. Oh do shup up Orchi, says Fido!
How\'s that day going, with you being 21 again? You must be 22 by now! :)

L. B. Mek said:

Happy Birthday Andy!
Brilliant that this year is ending with you viewing the future with a degree of positivity, I don\'t think it matters how \'complete\' our lives are at any given moment - we are all missing something or someone: but it does make a difference in how completely engaged we are in the now we have been gifted,
I wish you a year of good health and for those inevitable stumbles you encounter to be as inconsequential as they can be, cheers! 🥂
