#8 Get Ready (Rare Earth)👍🏼

Lyrics:
I never met a girl could make me feel the way that you do
(You’re all right)
Whenever I’m asked what makes a my dreams real
I tell ’em you do
(You’re outta sight)
Well tweedle dee, tweedle dum
Look out baby now here I come🪄
I’m bringin’ you a love that’s true yeah, get ready (get ready, get ready)
I’ll stop makin’ love to you, get ready (get ready, get ready)🪄
Get ready, ’cause here I come (I said I’m on my way)
Get ready, ’cause here I come🪄
If you wanna play hide and seek with love, let me remind ya
(You’re all right)
The lovin’ you’re gonna miss, and the time it takes to find ya
(You’re outta sight)
Well tweedle dee, tweedle dum
Look out baby now here I come🪄
I’m bringin’ you a love that’s true yeah, get ready (get ready, get ready)
I’ll stop makin’ love to you, get ready (get ready, get ready)🪄
Get ready, ’cause here I come (I said I’m on my way)
Get ready, ’cause here I come🪄
If all of my friends shouldn’t want me to, I think I’ll understand
(You’re alright)
I hope I get to you before they do ’cause, that’s how I planned it
(You’re outta sight)
Well fee-fi fo-fo-fum, look out baby, said here I come🪄
I’m bringin’ you a love that’s true yeah, get ready (get ready, get ready)
I’ll stop makin’ love to you, get ready (get ready, get ready)🪄
Get ready, ’cause here I come (I said I’m on my way now)
Get ready, ’cause here I come (oh)🪄
If you wanna play hide and seek with love, let me remind ya
(You’re all right)
The lovin’ you’re gonna miss, and the time it takes to find ya
(You’re outta sight)
Well tweedle dee, tweedle dum
Look out baby now here I come🪄
I’m bringin’ you a love that’s true yeah, get ready (get ready, get ready)
I’ll stop makin’ love to you, get ready (get ready, get ready)🪄
Get ready, ’cause here I come (I said I’m on my way now)
Get ready, ’cause here I come (oh)🪄
Get ready, ’cause here I come (hey, get ready, baby)
Get ready, ’cause here I come (you gotta get ready, ready)
Get ready, ’cause here I come (baby here I come)

The Good Life

“The one fact that I would cry from every housetop is this: the Good Life is waiting for us—here and now.”

B. F. Skinner (American Psychologist; March 20th, 1904 to August 18th, 1990)

“Helen shared in her moving memoir, Loving and Leaving the Good Life:

  • “Do the best you can, whatever arises.
  • Be at peace with yourself.
  • Find a job you enjoy.
  • Live in simple conditions; housing, food, clothing; get rid of clutter.
  • Contact nature every day; feel the earth under your feet.
  • Take physical exercise through hard work, through gardening or walking.
  • Don’t worry; live one day at a time.
  • Share something every day with someone else; if you live alone, write someone; give something away; help someone else somehow.
  • Take time to wonder at life and the world; see some humor in life where you can.
  • Observe the one life in all things.
  • Be kind to the creatures.”

“All good tenants to live by for a life full of happiness and gratitude!”

–Ban Breathnach, Sarah. “Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy”. Grand Central Publishing. (1976). Kindle Page 245 to 246 of 501.
