Do you pray?

What do you think, too personal a question, or not?
I was asked that a few days ago.
And at the time I knew that person knows that I don’t go regularly to a house of worship and many today don’t so I am not alone on that.
But do we all have to go to a building designated for that purpose to pray, I ask you?
No, but that is just my opinion and I am entitled to it just like you are to yours, right?
My answer to my friend was more like a stutter though, since she did catch me off guard and I admitted speaking more often to my deceased parents, who I do feel are more than likely in heaven, than for me talking to the almighty.
Can anyone else relate to that?

Heavy conversation, I hear you all saying, and usually a taboo topic in most circles, here we go again… is this another sign of the circle of life thingy?
Surely it most definitely is, or is supposed to be.
When we were young people, in the olden days, we used to be told that when we went out for socializing that certain topics should not be discussed in public, money, sex and religion, maybe I got that second one wrong, you know I am getting forgetful these days…

Any-who, today we live in the times when ‘anything goes’, odd how ‘déjà vu’ is that?
I do seem to recall that comment coming earlier in my life, hmm. Gosh That Broadway show, ‘Anything Goes’ is a Cole Porter one, circa 1934; for me it’s the movie of 1956 that I remember that’s why that expression sounded so familiar, huh? Kids go find those lyrics and have a fun time travel with truly great music! Oh wait here it is! Ask mom and dad or the grands for the tune!


”Times have changed,
And we've often rewound the clock,
Since the Puritans got a shock,
When they landed on Plymouth Rock.
If today,
Any shock they should try to stem,
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
Plymouth Rock would land on them.

In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking,
But now, God knows,
Anything Goes.

Good authors too who once knew better words,
Now only use four letter words
Writing prose, Anything Goes.

The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And day's night today,
When most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes

When grandmama whose age is eighty
In night clubs is getting matey with gigolo's,
Anything Goes.

When mothers pack and leave poor father
Because they decide they'd rather be tennis pros,
Anything Goes.

If driving fast cars you like,
If low bars you like,
If old hymns you like,
If bare limbs you like,
If Mae West you like
Or me undressed you like,
Why, nobody will oppose!
When every night,
The set that's smart
Is intruding in nudist parties in studios,
Anything Goes.


The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And day's night today,
When most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes

If saying your prayers you like,
If green pears you like
If old chairs you like,
If back stairs you like,
If love affairs you like
With young bears you like,
Why nobody will oppose!

And though I'm not a great romancer
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes...
Anything goes!”

Geez, we all have times in our histories when things have changed for the better and thus when anything goes, in conversation or mores or life in it self, and that my friends proves my point which is we are in the circle of life, historically speaking that is! TA DA!
And that above ditty proves my point.
So let’s all feel good about speaking our minds and do it regularly as you can with joy and pleasure in your heart, since once again, today, ANYTHING GOES!

On that note of G-d only knows what, let me be the first this evening to wish you a very horrible night and to ask you all kindly to never read anything that you don’t enjoy ever again and that includes this blog of mine and never ever care about those blessings that you so proudly count and don’t you dare share those extra ones with anyone else, since they may not want them and we won’t either! Gotcha! April Fool joke!
Do all the opposite of what I just wrote above, have a very happy good night and count those blessings and share those overages and we will too!

BUT PLEASE DON’T COME HERE EVER AGAIN! Gotcha, another APRIL FOOL JOKE!
Yes, please next time be here or be square, ya hear? And I do mean that with my whole heart and soul.
