#35 Lookin’ Out My Back Door (Creedence Clearwater Revival) 👍🏼
Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I’m singin’
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door
There’s a giant doin’ cartwheels, a statue wearin’ high heels
Look at all the happy creatures dancin’ on the lawn
Dinosaur Victrola, listenin’ to Buck Owens
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playin’ in the band
Won’t you take a ride on the flyin’ spoon? Doot, doo doo
Wondrous apparition, provided by magician
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playin’ in the band
Won’t you take a ride on the flyin’ spoon? Doot, doo doo
Bother me tomorrow, today, I’ll buy no sorrows
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door
Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy
Look at all the happy creatures dancin’ on the lawn
Bother me tomorrow, today, I’ll buy no sorrows
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door

Solitary Pleasures
“Alone, alone, Oh! We have been warned about solitary vices. Have solitary pleasures ever been adequately praised? Do many people know they exist?”
Jessamyn West (American Author, July 18th, 1902 to February 23rd, 1984)
“Nothing in our past lives is wasted. Nothing that once made us feel happy and fulfilled is ever lost. There’s a golden thread that runs through each of our lives. We just need to rediscover this thread before the joy of living completely unravels.”
It’s called zest. Exuberance. Joi de vivre, as the French would say, or ‘the love of life.’ The great delight that comes when the pieces of our particular puzzle finally fit. The heartfelt happiness we derive when something brings us keen pleasure. Something uniquely our own. They used to call this magical something a hobby.”
“The state of BEingness in every moment turns your life into one big party. Like we say everyday, ‘We live each day as the best party ever. We eat delicious food, we create stunning cocktails, we have the best sex ever and we love each other HARD!’ If you could have the best food, the best cocktails, the best sex and the best love ever…wouldn’t you go for it? We do and we do!”
–Ban Breathnach, Sarah. “Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy”. Grand Central Publishing. (1976). Kindle Page 273 to 274 of 501.
I challenge each of you on this blog series to post comments so we all can grow together.
Eagle Sighting 7-27-26

While driving to work westbound, I saw an eagle sitting on the weather vane pole in the middle of the I-90 Bridge. I’m so blessed and in the “FLOW”.🦅
