However, there is a Trisha Yearwood song that I love. It reminds me of a perfect day in a rag top Cadillac sailing up a mountain road with a handsome guy singing along to the Beatles Lovely Rita Meter Maid; I was 21. It makes me think that it's good we can't see the pain ahead, for it would spoil the present happiness, and of course as long as there is life there is always hope for more happiness. I'm definitely going to be happy when I next get to watch that fabulous movie!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577783112523684345.post-16809086881060914032010-07-27T00:02:40.772-04:002010-07-27T00:02:40.772-04:00Love the Phil Collins song :)

Hmmm... Very interesting. I might have to do that someday.<br /><br />Thanks for the *shout out*. I loved all that same music... it was just at a later stage in life. My son was born in '83 & daughter in '85. I played all that music for my kids from the time they were *en womb* along with lots of classical, jazz, show tunes, etc. You definitely have excellent taste in music ;-)<br /><br /> Brilliant post, my dear!

I went through several pairs of Tretorns in high school as well as Bean's Docksiders/Sperry Topsiders, which were "the" shoe at my high school.

I'm sure you will have many of us thinking back to when we were 14 and so naive, full of dreams and ideas about how life would be...certainly unaware that the universe had its own plans for us.

(I was wearing them to the appointment). He stated that unless I had orthotics in them (which I apparently needed badly they were not the best of shoes to wear). I have since inserted orthotics.Suburban prephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18395691728192716148noreply@blogger.com
