Fear of Writing.
Jo March said:

It\'s such a wonderful poem! I really enjoyed it. I especially liked the line: \"So many opportunities are around you.\" Yes, that is so true. There are so many of them and they are everywhere. It is up to us to notice them. And yes, we absolutely must put our feelings into words. I believe that this is at least partly the purpose of poetry. Thank you for this poem.

Andy,

Great idea to give the young lady your poem to encourage her to write some of her own! If she shares one of her poems, perhaps you can post it here...with her permission, of course!
I enjoyed the video!
As Bing Crosby said,
“Positively Therapeutic”!

My love to Joyce and to you!

That was lovely. Thank you.

Yes, a fine write again Gold. I should \'flow\' myself. Sometimes I fuss - will others like it? will they understand it? etc.

Desire makes us want
Want makes us work
Work makes us achieve
Achieving makes us Content

A fine write Andy.
A guy goes to Doc and says \'I keep feeling stressed\'. Doc said \'Don\'t camp outdoors then - intense (in tents!). Stay indoors!\' lol. A corny joke from the word \'conTENTment\'.

Great write Andy.
My wife and I were only saying yesterday that if we could halt time we are at age were we have achieved in life all that we ever sought and would be content to remain at our current age in perpetuity. But that aint gonna happen as the wrinkles grow ever deeper.

Dance the Tango.
Fay Slimm. said:

Dancing is good for the soul and to watch interchange of partners who tango together must be uplifting - I missed the prog. but am pleased to know how the tango is revered and danced over there

On the dance floor, all the worries fade away. Tango - partnership of two souls, intense fluid movement, is what I picturise.
Thnx.

Look at them handbags..... \"are ya dancin\"... \"are y\'askin\" .... \"I\'m askin\"... \"i\'m dancin\"
Your version sounds far more relaxed and free than what we grew up with.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ We love PP & M eclectic folk ! I agree about the defectors ~ there should be by-elections in all TEN Constituances !
Pesonally (BRIAN) I always vote ~ but I vote for the PERSON not the PARTY ! I feel sorry for Theresa ~ doing her best with a party that is sinking itself and the RATS are already leaving.
Blessings & Love to YOU & JOYCE

shameful politicians, boy do we understand that in the U.S.

dusk arising said:

When a politically minded person allocates their loyalty to a political party it will partly be due to the way that party has been led historically. When they feel the current leadership has transgressed the ethical stance of their party then they have the right to rebel in whatever way this country LEGALLY allows. Which is what they have done. Those who don\'t like it should consider getting a law introduced... i think that may involve going through your MP.. aha ! catch 22.

we all need a decent rant every now and again... tis like releasing the valve on the pressure cooker... without doing that, ya gonna do yourself and the kitchen one hell of a mischief ... for anyone who is too young to remember what a pressure cooker is... go ask orchidee for the full definition... Hope you feel better now GF60.... I know I do... N

Michael Edwards said:

With you all the way Andy. The trouble is not one single party represents the majority of the public so who do I vote for? For the first time in my life if there was an election tomorrow I would probably abstain. And I can\'t believe I am even thinking this way.

There was a pic of the PM \'chatting\' to a dog (probably Fido) outside a fairly local church recently. I\'ve still not had coffee and chat with her there yet. She, a politician, will open her mouth, so.... you know the rest.
