Brangelina - You Are Not The First

Orgininally written in 1915 "Lili Marleen", a haunting German love song, did not become well known until after 1941.
There are many different spellings of name Marleen.
The words were written by a fellow named Hans Leip. Conscripted into the army Leip combined the names of his girlfriend and another female friend to come up with Lili Marleen.
In 1938 Norbert Schultz put the soldier's poem to music. In 1981 the film Lili Marleen was released but received very little recognition.
It's an interesting story and more can be learned on how this tune became popular by the rest of Europe and the West at Wikipedia: Lili Marleen.
In the meantime enjoy Vera Lynn version of Lili Marleen as posted on Youtube. But you have been warned it's addicting.

Oh My.... It's Huckleberry Hound
Oh my darlin' Oh my darlin' What's her name... he just ain't paying attention.
Don't think cartoons are really for kids. Used to watch this every day after school. Never realized how funny Old Huck was in his battle between good and evil.

Notes To Self
Dear Self,
Being accessible via your SmartPhone twenty-four hours a day is not being very Smart. There is more to your thumbs than that, like thumb wrestling for example.
Thank you.

Relationship Advice

| Photo by Lisa I. McCausland |
At the end of the day the only relationship advice you should ever seek and act upon is that which already exists within your own heart and with whom you have the relationship.
Seeking the opinions of others, who may be well or ill intended, means inviting in that which does not belong you. They are not you and you are not them.
If you cannot hear your own heart, then you are not listening.
These are the seeds we sow.

This Moment
 |
| Creek 2011 by Lisa I. McCausland |
Took sometime today to do this thing called "stop" and "just be."
It was kind of self imposed.
My back has been giving me grief and I needed to rest - properly. This also meant no tv or radio - although I did manage slip on-line a few times. Just a few - hundred times - but who's counting. (Blame the Blackberry - darn fruit!)
Stopping is not necessarily my friend. Although I try with great tolerance to chill I happen to enjoy creating and being creative.
True to form eventually I found myself getting fidgety. What to do what to do what to do?!??!!!!!!!!!!!
During one of my pacing moments I saw sitting on the kitchen table a book. I had pulled it out of my library a week or so ago when I was doing some research for a project. It was giving to me by a friend and mentor in 1995.
Time for a re-read. Opening up the windows to let the air flow through the house and me, my blanket, the book, and heating pad snuggled down on the sofa.
Near the end of the last chapter I read something and thought is was too beautiful not to share.
ThInQ About It....
We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet to love, to share. This is a precious moment, but it is transient. It is a little parenthesis in eternity. If we share with caring, lightheartedness, and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other. And then this moment will have been worthwhile. - Deepka Chopra The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success
