Breathless

Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA

The Irish sure are a gorgeous bunch! The Corrs was my favourite band many years ago and I still cannot stop humming a few of their songs after so many years. I loved their music and whenever I’d get a glimpse of them on the tele, I’d just gawk at the girls desperately attempting to decide which sister looked the best. In all honesty, all three are just hotter than hot, blessed with beauty far superior than Helen of Troy. But if I were to pick, I’d say the drummer Caroline Corr, she’s my favourite. Wait, I’m not sure…I am in awe of Sharon too. Damn, I can’t choose. I adore them all! Being madly in love with them as a teenager, I had dreams of producing a band of my own. It was a rather futuristic dream. Pop out four kids and teach each one a few unique instruments…

Post-Weekend Snarky Snippets

Jill is the name, snark is the game!


Shoot the monkeys into space!

Hey folks … do you happen to have an extra $28 million lying around somewhere?  If so, guess what … you could be shot into space with none other than the world’s wealthiest man, Amazon’s CEO, Jeff Bezos!  Oops … never mind … scratch that, for someone has already paid da price for this … er … opportunity of a lifetime.

That’s right … apparently there was an auction on Saturday hosted by Bezos’ Blue Origin company, and an anonymous bidder topped the bidding at $28 million for the “opportunity” to join Bezos in space.  The fool’s bidder’s name is to be announced soon, according to Blue Origin.  I will only say that … I see this entire thing as a huge waste of time and money.  Mr. Bezos and this ‘anonymous bidder’ could give every dime…

मैं इंसानियत हूं

I am Human… Use Google to translate from Hindu, if you need to.

Harshita Singh

मैं हिंदू हूं ,
जो मस्जिद के आगे सिर झुकाता है
जो गुरूद्वारे में भी माथा टेकने जाता है
जो चर्च में भी कैंडल जला कर आता है
जो मंदिर में दिया जलाने जाता है
क्योंकि मैं हिंदू ही नहीं भारतीय भी हूं ।
मैं मुस्लिम हूं ,
जो मंदिर के आगे झुक जाता हैं
जो जोर- शोर से लोहडी भी मनाता हैं
जो क्रिसमस में भी खुशियां मनाता हैं
जो नमाज़ अदा करने मस्जिद भी जाता हैं
क्योंकि मैं मुस्लिम ही नहीं भारतीय भी हूं।
मैं सिक्ख हूं ,
जो ईस्टर भी मनाता हैं
जो क़ुरान पढ़ना भी जानता हैं
जो होली में रंग भी लगाता हैं
जो वैशाखी भी मनाता हैं
क्योंकि मैं सिक्ख ही नहीं भारतीय भी हूं।
मैं ईसाई हूं ,
जो गुरुनानक के कदमों पर चलता हैं
जो गीता का ज्ञान भी ग्रहण करता हैं
जो ईद भी मनाता हैं
जो बाइबिल भी पढ़ता हैं

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Eu ouvi dizer que havia um acorde secreto

Que Davi tocava e agradava ao Senhor

Mas você não liga muito para música, não é?

É assim: a quarta, a quinta

A menor cai, a maior ascende

O rei perplexo compondo Aleluia

Aleluia, Aleluia

Aleluia, Aleluia…”

Leonard Cohen. Hallelujar ( Aleluia)

Jolly Monday After … Yesterday?

Filosofa's Word

Good Jolly morning, my friends, and welcome to … um … Jolly … um … Monday!  Yes, that’s it, it’s Monday!  The day we all love because that pesky weekend is over and we can finally get back to the grind of work, right?  Okay, okay … I’m fooling nobody, not even myself.  But, it is within each of us to make this a jolly day if we so choose, and Jolly, Joyful and I are here to help!  So … grab a snack and a warm (or cold) beverage and let’s just see what we can find to start our week off with a smile.

              


That herding instinct …

Linda Oswald and her family were out for a drive one Sunday a couple of weeks ago when their vehicle collided with another and the family dog, a border collie named Tilly, was ejected through the window.  By the…
