Yesterday, when voices I do NOT love to hear were spreading lies and toxic narcissism, I did not listen to those voices. Instead, I listened to voices I love to hear, including these:
.
In honor of National Button Day, here’s a voice I love to hear: Paul Carrack, singing “Button Off of My Shirt.”
I would love to hear the voices of people fooled by toxic narcissists singing that song.
Thanks to all those whose voices I love to hear, including YOU!
I guess it’s no surprise that people are talking and writing about October surprises, since it’s only the THIRD day of October and there have been so many surprises so far.
I don’t know about you, but I’m not sure my very unusual heart can take all these October surprises.
Do you see any surprises in today’s images ?
When I used a phone app to identify that weird rash, which I’ve had for all of October, I was surprised to find out that I have hives !
Actually, since hives are often caused by stress, that may be an October non-surprise.
What are your October surprises?
Surprise! Here‘s a reprise of a song from a recent blog post, performed live.
I won’t be surprised if you leave a surprising comment, below.
I hope it’s no surprise that I’m grateful to you, no matter what month it is.
Yesterday, when I was trying to remain sane amidst insanity in the USA, I took this photo:
I think the world liked us better when we were sane.
What’s helping you stay sane during these insane times? Personally, I’m blogging, taking photos, walking around with my Sharpie looking for sanity, and listening to music.
I’m also staying sane by enjoying Michael’s delicious cooking, like swordfish on a roasted red pepper purée with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables.
Let’s try to stay sane together by listening to yesterday’s pictured playlist (here, here, here, here, and here on YouTube).
Now I’m imagining the supporters of our insane President singing “Button off My Shirt.”
BUTTON OFF MY SHIRT
I heard the word going ’round town
They say you’re making a fool out of me
Baby, it took me some time to come ’round
To realize you were not what you seem
Each day passing
The clock is my friend
Help me get back on my feet again
Like a button off of my shirt
Just an everyday distraction
You’d be over-reacting if you think that I still hurt
You’re just a button off of my shirt
And someday I will replace you
I don’t care what I have lost
You got what you deserve
I was down, down, down
I’m not the first
I won’t be the last
To make the mistake of believing in you
I don’t intend to live in the past
Just like they say
Some you win, some you lose
You never loved me and you made it plain
Now it’s my turn and I’m playing your game
Like a button off of my shirt
Just an everyday distraction
You’d be over-reacting if you think that I still hurt
You’re just a button off of my shirt
And some day I will replace you
I don’t care what I have lost
You got what you deserve
(Love and affection)
You started (changing directions)
You threw it away
You never loved me and you made it plain
Now it’s my turn to make you understand
Like a button off of my shirt
Just an everyday distraction
You’d be over-reacting if you think that I still hurt
You’re just a button off of my shirt
And someday I will replace you
I don’t care what I have lost
You got what you deserved
Like the button off of my shirt
Just an everyday distraction
You’d be over-reacting if you think that I still hurt
You’re just a button off of my shirt
And someday I will replace you
I don’t care what I have lost
You got what you deserved
Like a button off of my shirt
Just an everyday distraction
You’d be over-reacting if you think that I still hurt
You’re just a button off of my shirt
And someday I will replace you.
Your irreplaceable comments also keep me sane and so does expressing gratitude to all who help me blog daily, including YOU!
