Visitors
Get Back
Those who know me understand that I have this fascination and love for the music and message of The Beatles. In fact, in my own little personal belief system, I make a ritual of playing only Beatles music on Sunday, and each week I pick a song (or the song picks me) and it becomes something like a sermon; it’s the message of the day. This is today’s sermon song, “Get Back” and it’s relevant to our current housing crisis and symbolic of how things change. You see, this song, “Get Back” was the original title of the album it was featured on, “Let It Be” and through the course of making the album and accompanying film (of the same title), things changed and the Beatles ended up breaking up and so the title and theme of the record album was changed to reflect the fact that this would be the last Beatle album, “Let It Be” (released 5/8/70), a month after the band broke up. Most of this album was recorded in January of1969 but the project was shelved and The Beatles would work on and release “Abbey Road” in the meanwhile; the album was re-issued in 2003 as “Let It Be…Naked” and featured much better mixes of the original album and is my personal preferred version of this album. So that’s the Beatles history lesson for the day, from your friend, Professor Moptop…enjoy!
Another reason why I’m grooving on this song is because it reflects how I feel with regards to our personal situations. Without going into details (d’Tales) over it, I’ve come to the humble conclusion that we need to get back to where we once belong; in our hearts, not the physical domain we occupy, but in our soul, we need to get back to where we once belong and that was in a place where we are most comfortable; in one another’s Love. I am letting go of the anxiety of our housing crisis and I’m going to get back to where I once belonged; in a happy spot, thinking about nothing but Love and content with the faith that all things will work out as they should. I am listening to my music nice and loud, getting lost in the melodies and nodding my head with the beat. I am feeling relaxed, knowing we will prevail no matter what the outcomeof the house deal is, we will be the winners because we have nothing to lose. I’ve heard it said that “freedom” is just another word for nothing to lose and that’s how I choose to feel today…free from the shackles of worry, free from the stress of the moment and free as a bird in terms of my heart and soul. This is, after all, Sunday; a day for God.
Our abode is a mess! I am going to do some cleaning today but at present I am sitting at the table in the dining room, amidst boxes of pack items, piles of stuff that has yet to find a place and I need to get a grip on this mess before it cripples us and causes some kind of insanity! I’m not a “neat freak”, but I can’t stand the messiness, it’s distracting and hard to function when everything is askew. I am not watching the Superbowl, I have no interest in it whatsoever, not even in the commercials. Especially not the commercials, actually, I hate the onslaught of “clever advertising” that comes each year. I just don’t like commercials in general, I guess…but whatever, I am going to get busy with my day and though I’ll be logging into this site on and off today, I simply wanted to share this song with you and hope that you take care, be well and staycool!

My wifey is very well organized with this...she even has the boxes numbered and logged in a notebook! I hate the process, but on some level, it's exciting too! |
 |
Thank goodness she is organized! |

you look like you've lost some weight bud....hows that for changing the subject?? lol Also, I've never noticed that prtrait behind you, whos that? It looks beautiful! I left on your last post a couple if ideas for you to consider. BUt as a professional, keep packing, your going to move, if not right then, it's coming anyways, so put in boxes all the stuff you don't need to have out. Things will be be so much simpler when the time does come. Remember, JoJo was a man who thought he was a loner but he knew it couldnt last.... |

Thanks for changing the subject! Yes, I'm still losing weight...I'm down to 169lbs and my goal is a healthy 155lbs, so I'm almost there...I've been working on toning my muscles lately, losing that flabby stuff! The portrait is of my mother from the 1970s, but it looks hauntingly like my late daughter too...I love it, although the big gold frame is a little too much, it just goes with the painting so well... Yes, we continue to pack and I'm going to look at another house today...so, we will move, it's just a matter of when now... Have a great week Charlie! |

I live by the saying, "Expect nothing, that way you won't be disappointed". Expectations can lead to disappointments as I have learned. I haven't been into NFL football since we left south Florida in the 70's and the Dolphins were the team to beat. Even then it was an excuse to party! lol The bad thing about packing is finding all the hidden dust you didn't know was there!!! |
|
No kidding about the dust! Man, we have a lot of dusty stuff! That's the same saying my FIL says, we are learning that lesson as of late! Have a GREAT DAY TODAY!!!! |
 |
Looks like my office. |
|
LOL...that disorganized, eh? |

Consider all this as simply "a test", and I think you'll be surprised at how well you handled it in later on. I think you're doing well anyway. Who knows, if the house deal doesn't work out it may be that there is something better down the road. In my life I have experienced it many times. God answers, sometimes the answer is no. We don't necessarily know the whys at the time but later you may. I did watch the Super Bowl...it was a good game. Close, it could have gone either way. (Usually I never watch it but we had company). The commercials were lame and that is usually why I watch. Whoever is writing them these days has no sense of humor. Boring. But your time was better spent, I'm sure.

Yes, this is all a test and if it works out, then so be it and if not, then we continue with Plan B; such is life, yes? I don't know if my time was any better spent, I was packing and cleaning well past 10pm and today it doesn't look much different! Have a great week Ajay! |

It will come together. LOL! I have faith! |
LOL! Been there and done that! Label those boxes as you pack w/ room/contents and priority as to unpacking......
