I'm not the only one
To have troubles, stresses, etc at times
Yet having personal problems
And some shared with relatives and close loved-ones
Doesn't mean our own troubles are any less real
Or any less in importance
Whether they are short, medium, or long term
But we go on each day
We have support of people in person
And those (as on MPS) who we don't see in person
We can just 'be there' in person or in spirit
Maybe not saying much
Or not having words to say
Words are not always needed
Meanwhile: Fido looks in:
Woof! C'mon now Orchi
Can ya write a poem or three?!
There's Easter season coming up fairly soon again
Though I must say, Fido says
It's not stopped ya being 'orrible to KP
And though I know 99% of everything
Why ya married KP, I'd never have known
Except ya told me of that evening
When she hid the water from your whisky
Got ya tipsy
[Fido doing a bit of poetic rhyming there]
And it made ya say 'I will!' (marry ya, that is).

On an Irish day I'll wish ya top of the morning and lift my glass to you.
"May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand."
Thank you SB.
Most welcome Orchi
Good stuff, Ošš»šļø
Thank you A.
Orchi, thank you for this, my friendā¦ always appreciate you sharing these moments. And nowā¦ somehow weāve cut live to the radio station W-CAT againā¦ Popeyeās already mid-broadcast, Olā Tom nodding like this is serious business: āGlugging aināt just a skillā¦ itās a lifestyle.ā And Obi Wan calmly follows: āThe glug flows through all beingsā¦ resist it, and you chokeā¦ trust it, and you float.ā
Meanwhile, Fidoās peeking in like he runs the placeā¦(he kinda runs every place, no?) calling you out mid-setā¦and Iām still stuck on KP hiding the water from your whiskyā¦setting the whole thing in motion. That right there is the real origin story, my friendā¦no glugging technique can overcome that kind of sabotage. And somehowā¦it all still lands back in that space of being there for peopleā¦in person or in spiritā¦even when the words donāt come. That balanceā¦thatās the heart of it. Rock on, my friend.š§šæšš¤
Thank you T. We can't keep up with all these antics! lol.
Right?!?!?! Or can we? š¤š¤£š¤·āāļø
Fingers crossed still šš¤

(Now that may be the shortest message I've ever sent you, but it is full of meaning meant but unsaid...)
Thank you D.
I sincerely hope all is well Orchi.
