Released From Despair.
orchidee said:

A comforting write Gold \'comfort\' in the sense of \'strengthen\' and \'solace\'.
In Psalm 23 there is the rod and staff of the good Shepherd, which comforts us - sometimes with a prod? Like a kick up the backside? Who\'s going round kicking sheep?!
Also the staff to draw us onwards - hooked around our neck at times.

No Regrets.
dusk arising said:

What point in having regret? Placed similarly again with the character of yesterdays you would you have chosen differently? Doubtful. But where a wiser decision can be seen with the benefit of hindsight, regret is easily dispelled with the knowledge that one is here today with a positive outlook and most importantly a smile in ones soul.

Yesterday is gone leaving what it will. Whilst we are in yesterdays shadow there is joy in knowing the sunlight is but a few steps away.

What Happened to Yesterday?
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

BRIAN HERE - Good Thursday Uncle ANDY thanks for sharing a Beautiful VIDEO ! It highlighted each section of the Orchestra. When I was a CHILD (1980s) my Dad (Classical Pianist) used to take us to enjoy the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra ! I marvelled how such a diverse arrangement of Instruments could be so so harmonius. I understand it now (having studied acoustics) but visually & aurally it still fills me with awe. I ask Alexa to play *Nutcracker by The RLPO* close my eyes and visually it all floods back inio my sub-conscious ~ AMEN !

YESTERDAY ? O I remember Yesterday ?
Another day of Happy House Husbanding
Washing - Ironing - Cooking - Cleaning
Gardening - Thank GOD for the good weather
Love LOCKDOWN but miss the LABORATORY
Cant wait for 2021 - parhaps NORMALITY ?

Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love Brian & Angela ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿค๐Ÿงก

Yes, for example, with shopping taking longer with queues these days, the time can go quickly when we\'re enjoying ourselves - if we enjoy shopping?!
Did time go quickly in 1066? Wish I hadn\'t turned up. lol.

BRIAN HERE ~ Hi Uncle ANDY thanks for sharing an excellent Horn & Jazz Guitar - Lockdown Duet. I like to play Acoustic Guitar Duets with Angela on Keyboard or Clarinet ! Corners - Doors - Hills - Choices are all both Ocstacles or Oportunities in Life. Its how we overcome them that counts. To be twice our Age & have no regrets - is the hallmark of *A Life well Lived !* Your postive attitude to life is always an inspiration to Angela & I as we start out on ours together !
Nous ne regrettons RIEN !

Love & Peace to You & Yours

BRIAN ICI - BON APRES MIDI - Mon Oncle Andy - Love the CELLO the mosy *human* of the strings in both shape & sound ! Is the cellist self isolating in the Collesium - very topical !
I think all of us *Lockdowners* are getting Back to Nature. In our WOOD the leaves are GREENER and there is an abundance of Butterflies. Through the cleaner air Mother Nature is teaching us a gentle lesson for our Greed & Exploitation of her Domain - When will we ever Learn ? Please check *Carry on Camping* Thanks,

Lovely write Gold. Yes, did you need to \'get your coat\' for the walk? I do some days still. It\'s been unusual shirt-sleeves walks some days, and only April. then two days later(after about a week of sunshine) I wished I had worn my gloves!
I saw swans with 7 babies, then geese with 12 babies. Lovely!

Saturday Meal.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

GOOD EVENING Uncle Andy - Angela Here - Love the Menu can we come ? Loved the tribute to Vincent Van Gogh and the visuals. He is one of my fave Painters - always painted from the heart. We can empathise (to some extent) with your Poem. All the things I experienced in NZ for 15 months I would have loved to have shared vis-a-vis with BRIAN. Also it was only by getting married (with just our Parents as Witnesses) that we are able to live together now. Our Evening Meal togther (cooked by Brian !) is always one of our most precious Times together each day ! Self Isolation is more irksome for those that live alone. You are in our Hearts - AMEN.

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

Well Andy
You made our mouths water

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Good Morning Uncle Andy ! We regret we were not around in the golden Era of Rock & Roll but SQ do have there place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. We guess each Group & Artist was born *Out of the Time* and had a special contemporary significance which our Parents & Grandparents confirm. Thanks for caring & sharing.

Blessing & Pace to You & Yours

The Glory of Life Acrostic
Alan .S. Jeeves said:

Viewed in awe,
Ever teaching,
Rightly so
Your words are reaching.

Great to hear
On such a day,
Oh what cheer
Down your way.

And where the rain
Never falls
Dour again
Your sunshine calls.

Ex animo, Alan
