1968 Top 10 Highest-Grossing & Award Winning Films

“I had never seen this film and thought it was not my favorite Shakespeare. Quite dumb that Juliet agrees to take a paralyzing formula from the creepy friar. Then Romeo is left out of th loop and then poisons himself. Juliet wakes up to find him dead and then stabs herself. Quite impulsive and typical of young minds not fully cooled.”

#67 I Thank You (Sam & Dave) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
(I want everybody to get up off your seat
And get your arms together, and your hands together
And give me some of that o-o-old soul clapping)🪄
You didn’t have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did
And I thank you
You didn’t have to squeeze me like you did
But you did, but you did
And I thank you🪄
If you took your love to somewhere else
I wouldn’t know what it meant to be loved to death
You made me feel like I’ve never felt
Kisses so good I had to holler for help🪄
You didn’t have to squeeze me but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you
You didn’t have to hold me but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you🪄
Every day was something new
You pull out your bag and your fine to-do
You got me trying new things too
Just so I can keep up with you🪄
You didn’t have to shake me like you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you
You didn’t have to make it like you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you🪄
All my life I’ve been shortchanged
Without your love baby, it’s a crying shame
And now I know what the fellas are talking about
When they say that they been turned out🪄
I want to thank you (thank you)
Thank you (oh, baby)
Thank you baby (yeah, yeah)
Oh baby (I gotta be thanking)
Got to say🪄
You didn’t have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did.
(And I thank you.)🪄
You didn’t have to hold me like you did
But you did, but you did.
(And I thank you.)🪄
Thank you (thank you, baby)
Baby (Got to thank you)
Baby (oh, baby)
Thank! I’ve! Got! I’ve got to (thank you baby)
Thank you baby (oh baby)

Accentuating the Positive

“If one is a greyhound, why try to look like a Pekingese?”

Dame Edith Louisa Sitwell DBE (British Poet and Critic; September 7th, 1887 ~ December 9th, 1964)

“Each of us has at least one special feature that can set us apart. Do you accentuate your assets?

“I have often wished I had time to cultivate modesty. But I am too busy thinking about myself.”

Dame Edith Louisa Sitwell DBE (British Poet and Critic; September 7th, 1887 ~ December 9th, 1964)

“Most of us don’t spend nearly enough time thinking good things about ourselves. …Discover, flaunt, and celebrate your authentic assets.”

“Before my story began…” (Heather Houston 3-17-26)

1972 Me…at my Aunt Carrie’s Baby Shower

“I need to be more intentional on accentuating my assets. I need to be a partner with myself in feeling good about myself.” (Heather Houston 3-17-22)

“I am getting in touch with myself culturally and feel I will start to unfold my style as an extension of my self expression. I am curious to attend the NICWA conference in Oklahoma to see what others in my culture wear on a day to day basis as strong beautiful indigenous women.”

–Ban Breathnach, Sarah. “Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy”. Grand Central Publishing. (1976). Kindle Page 83-84 of 501.
