♫♫♫♫ Can you hear the music?♫♫♫♫

How do you like my notes tonight, musical ones, that is? LOL
For my ‘Dancing in the Rain’, Blog I copied and pasted them from someone else’s Facebook comment, oops, is that legal?
I want to thank Lady K for teaching me how to do it for myself!
Would you like to know how-to too?
Well, you hit ‘alt’ and the ‘1 and 4’ on the calculator side of your keyboard.
Now everyone can hear the music!
I think that is so neat; don’t you too?
Or perhaps you all knew, and I am the only one out of this loop too, huh?

Today was a rather silly emotional roller coaster for me.
I asked questions of my FB ‘friends’ that got a rather cool response.
And at this hour I would be hard pressed to recall what they were.
That’s the best part of getting older is that you forget almost all recent memories!
You know it makes many things appear new, like TV reruns those are really great for me, since they are first runs when I see them again!

A wonderful summer fun time was had by all of us oldies but goodies.
How was yours?
Not really, that is; mine wasn’t…
You see, this Blog is meant for me to speak the truth not cover it up!
How many out there pretend that all is well with you and yours because you are afraid of taking advantage of someone’s kindly ear to listen, and instead just say that everything is fine!
Consequently, not having an outlet to express ones true feelings stifles the way to handle them; no feedback disallows dealing with any difficulties and puts one into denial!
Very mentally and emotionally unhealthy!
Although, I believe oddly enough these people will be the first to say how stable they are not airing their dirty laundry and proud to admit they keep all their problems to themselves as those problems continue to mount into infinity!
I am literally shocked that they are people still out there who believe this is the best way to handle life’s trials and tribulations, by shutting up especially when someone offers to be there to help!
This is not civilized.
In a true civilization there is an interaction between the cohabitants, a vocal and quite loudly spoken heralding of your voice of declaration of injustices or non allowances of some other matters.
People share.
That’s the way it has been in time immemorial.
Why is it only the media that is allowed to scream out of what is what, and not always accurately, when we the people have the right to get their story straight or at least your own, by just expressing it wholeheartedly!
Someone today said something today that they do not have a mean bone in their body, but to me that just says they have not had to deal with being anything more than an employee not in the management end in the business world, no management skills there, sorry if you happen to be reading this. But in the leadership end sometimes you have to be rather tough and not do things that are considered not so nice, sorry but the truth missy!
I am not saying you have to be mean to be in management which I was in for many years for myself and for others as well, but there are times that you have to do things that aren’t altogether considered nice…like firing people, and I have. But you know that was when I worked for others mostly and they were right in their reasoning, if you’re not producing that equals no job, no goldbricking, got it? I bet many of you don’t even know that term.
After all unless you work for a non profit which I also have done, but as a volunteer; you’re in the business to make money, actually for them too for research and programs, bad analogy, and that means everyone should be producing and if not, bye, bye!
To those people I was probably considered mean but I did try hard to be as nice as one can be in that situation, even at first I was willing to quit due to my dilemma of not wanting to, but I needed my job. Hubby and the boys were all in college at the same time at that time, and besides I was good at it, the management end that is. The firing part not so much, but I told the employees the truth how I didn’t want to but they made me, which was true.

Fortunately, I was not part of this most recent downturn when I was at my wicked-self job for someone other than me that was back in the early and mid nineteen nineties.
It put being on either end of the work spectrum into perspective.
And so I can rationalize both employee and employer’s handling of’ downsizing of these recent times.
Bottom line has always been the almighty dollar, and so that is why I am gloriously happy that I am out of all that!
And when my FB friends continually want me to join this or that, I turn you down for I AM THANKFULLY DONE!
And what a weight that has lifted off of my shoulders, but the rest of me is still rather weighted… yes with pounds! LOL
Honestly my FB profile picture is six years old and many pounds lighter, but I think I have made this confession before.
Nasty, quit smoking and coffee for substituting drugs and fat!
Yes, steroids do help put on the lbs. and so does quitting smoking and add in the stress of just not being able to do anything about it from not being able to walk or see!
Well, to be honest only one eye can’t see.
I can’t use my own pool since it exacerbates the optic neuritis because it’s so hot out there!
And I do manage to get from here to there; and that is to one chair to another with the help of an old ladies walker that has a seat to rest on in the middle of my trip, how pathetic I hear you all saying!
My balance is compromised from Ataxia, and no gym will take me due to liability of me being very likely to fall!
Food is a friend, warmth that is cozy and familiar; and I do come from a long line of people who associate food with love.

Oh where was I?
I am supposed to be nice and quiet about my ills not to bother you all with my physical problems, right?
And so I will listen to my music and you can too, now that you know how-to…. ♫♫♫♫, there you go! Do you hear it? I sure hope so… it’s lovely!

On that happier note ♫♫♫♫, ha! I will wish you all a happy good night to all and to all count those blessings and we will too!
Be back next time, same place… see ya!
