“I enjoyed watching this film and I have seen it several times before. Interesting how the director did not do very much research on space as Charlton Heston was smoking a cigar in the spaceship. Even after they had a water crash landing, he somehow pulled out a cigar and lighter on their trek through the desert. Heston seems like the John Wayne of the late 60s. It is so odd that when Heston was caught and couldn’t speak he didn’t use the universal hand signal for writing and just grabbed at his voice box. The director needed to be more observant. One of the most impactful scenes was the statue of liberty buried in the sand. Glad I got to see it again.”

#42 Theme From ‘Valley of the Dolls (Dionne Warwick) 👍🏼
Lyrics: Gotta get off, gonna get Have to get off from this ride Gotta get hold, gonna get Need to get hold of my pride When did I get, where did I How was I caught in this game When will I know, where will I How will I think of my name When did I stop feeling sure, feeling safe And start wondering why, wondering why Is this a dream, am I here, where are you What’s in back of the sky, why do we cry Gotta get off, gonna get Out of this merry-go-round Gotta get off, gonna get Need to get on where I’m bound When did I get, where did I Why am I lost as a lamb When will I know, where will I How will I learn who I am Is this a dream, am I here, where are you Tell me, when will I know, how will I know When will I know why
“Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose.”
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (Swiss-American Psychiatrist; July 8th, 1926 ~ August 24th, 2004)
“…the centrifugal forces of today.”
Anne Morrow Lindbergh (American Author and Aviator; June 22nd, 1906 ~ February 7th, 2001)
“I find it helpful to think of priorities as the wooden frame upon which we stretch the canvas of our days so that we may apply color and form to the work of art we are creating without the entire painting collapsing in the middle.”
“Quiet time alone, contemplation, prayer, music, a centering line of thought or reading, of study or work. It can be physical or intellectual or artistic, any creative life proceeding from oneself. It need not be an enormous project or great work. But it should be something of one’s own. Arranging a bowl of lowers in the morning can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day…What matters is that one be for a time inwardly attentive.”
Anne Morrow Lindbergh(American Author and Aviator; June 22nd, 1906 ~ February 7th, 2001)
“Today make getting in touch with the Silence within yourself your first priority. As you do, you will be amazed at how everything else seems to find its own order.”

“I wasn’t very good at finding the Silence within myself today. Work was very stressful and after a 9-hour shift without a break, I was pooped. TGIF!” (Heather Houston 2-25-22)
“My priority is sustaining a loving and happy marriage with my husband. We create one another each day newly and then live into the day as the best date/party ever. Truly, it is a remarkable life and way to live. I cherish also my inward attentive moments like now when I read and reflect on a daily devotional. Giving back to myself fills my ‘Battery’. Loving my husband is my most beautiful work of art!”
