Uplifting write on a lovely morning. Thanks for this Andy.
Roses sprayed, plants watered and now for an hours walk across fields and by the river - what could be better.

BRIAN here - Afternoon Uncle Andy - Im still *Locked--down* but now I have SMOKEY to commune with ! Love the MOONLIGHT (most pop piece on CFM) It the only Classical Sonata I ever really mastered ! We have a *Proper Piano* which Angelas Parents bought for her when she was 21 and returned home from College as a Qualified Physio. She plays MOONLIGHT divinely !
Love your very neat Acrostic ~ Every Star is a Blessing !

Blessings & Peace to You & Your Special Star
Love BRIAN & ANGELA & SMOKEY ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›

\"Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day\". My fav song when i was knee high to a grasshopper.

A sky full of stars is a wonderful sight and a sight which makes you wonder about those big, big questions. Then you look away, thankful for your faith.

GOOD MOONDAY ~ Uncle Andy ~ Brian here ! Thanks for the Cool \"Lockdown Horn* enjoyed ~ Reminded me of Kenny Ball ~ An ESSEX BOY ! Being on LOCKDOWN gives me a glimpse of what it will be like to be retired in 34 years time (2054) when Im 70 ! Although I do have to go into College twice a week to check on Allotment ~ Animals & Microcultures ~ The joys of Applied Science. We have a GOOD TEAM of qualified Technicians all of whome are doing OU Degrees which allows them to do some teaching. The OU is running on line ! I am the OU Coordinator for the College and an OU Personal Tutor.
Its very true what you say ! During LOCKDOWN each day morphs into the next ! However (THANK GOD) with the Housework -- Garden & now Smokey I am uberbusy ! Please check *LIFE IS LIKE A CROSSWORD* Thanks.

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

I\'m in a tangle too - is it today, tomorrow, or yesterday, or what is it? \'Tomorrow\' never comes. When it gets here, it\'s \'today\'. Hmm, strange that!

Andy,

The message youโ€™re conveying in your poem today is exactly what I was talking about in my comment to your poem โ€œRespectโ€ that you posted yesterday!

A great read and delightful piece of music to complement your poem.
Thank you for sharing.

A smashing post GF60 and incredibly reminded me of my own class teacher Mr. Andy Johnson ex Saints and England team member and whom I had the pleasure of meeting again a few years ago at a school reunion.... a smashing bloke too....

A fine write Gold.
Some P.E. teachers I had also taught another subject. But my P.E. teachers ranged from really nice, to horrors, one causing me to have one of the most humiliating experiences of my school days.

Respect.
Laura๐ŸŒป said:

Andy,

A subject dear to my heart!
One of my objectives when I taught seven year olds was to show them what RESPECT meant...showing by doing!

Regard
Esteem
Show Consideration
Praise
Evaluate
Courtesy
Treasure

When they experience respect, theyโ€™ll show respect!

I enjoyed the video.
Thank you for sharing.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE - Good Evening Uncle Andy ! Thanks for sharing FUARE very soothing after a tough Day welcoming SMOKEY into our Family & the Community - Hes asleep now !
RESPECT is a lost Quality in the 21st C especially among the Young ! Lack of respect for Parents & Seniors and those in neccessary authority Teachers - Clergy - Bosses - Politicians - Royalty - Police - Military - Doctors - Nurses - Shopkeepers etc etc. RESPECT begins with SELF - RESPECT and if a PERSON has no SR then They wont respect others ! BRIAN & I are both in Professions which depend on Mutual Respect - Brian as a Teacher and Myself as a Physio. Also as Church Youth Leaders - We respect each of our 20 teens - and we seek to live lives which will enable them to respect US ! As you know *SMOKEY HAS LANDED* Today ! We respect all Flora & Fauna but we have to have rules for SMOKEY which we exepct Him to respect ! For instance he is welcome in all rooms on the ground floor but upstairs is VERBOTEN (we have a CHILD / CAT & DOG gate on the bottom step of the stairs !).

*WITHOUT MUTUAL RESPECT THERE CAN BE NO CVILISED SOCIETY*

This was why Hitlers *TAUSAND JAHRE REICH*
only lasted 12 bloody Years 1933 - 45 !
Blessing & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love ANGELA & BRIAN ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™

Respect.
AuburnScribbler said:

Brilliantly said Andy, and to me, it is also important that respect is earned, and not passed around like a \"pass the parcel\". Respect is a special entity, and I agree, it needs to make a much-needed comeback.

Hope all is well.

That beautiful word so clearly described has got lost in the me-first attitudes today. Thank you for the reminder of more graceful times Andy.

In some cases it\'s just reduced to some stupid rap, and people going about saying \'respect!\' Potty!

Michael Edwards said:

Indeed - I also mourn the lack of respect which has, sadly, even on this site been shown from time to time.

Music and Lyrics.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Good Morning Uncle Andy ~ We love the MANTRA *When you are HAPPY you hear the MUSIC ~ When you are SAD you hear the LYRICS* This is very very true in our Experience. We both adore the Music from *LES MYS* but the Lyrics always make us weep buckets ~ and its happened to Me again today. Music plays a big part in both our lives and it always complements our moods especially when we were separated by 11,500 miles for 15 months and as we are now (from our Loved Ones) due to COVID 19 ! But this too shall pass.
I was looking for DREAM SONGS for my 7x7x7 Poem today but decided that *AN IMPOSSIBLE DREAM* was the most appropriate ! Please check ~ Thanks. Thanks also for what you have shared today.

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Brian & Angela ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›

Music and Lyrics.
Michael Edwards said:

Having thought about it there\'s some truth in this. I much prefer music to song but that\'s perhaps because I always try to look on the bright side and because I\'m a realist which means I squirm at the nonsense of most lyrics.
