Earlybird

The early morning skies in this pic are stunning. It's been a while since I've been to the beach, but when I go it's always a welcome adventure for the day, especially on a long weekend traveling or visiting with friends.

Winter Vocal Mix 2024 ⛄ Car Music Chill & Deep House Session | Own Music

I've really enjoyed this playlist mix this evening. I am down with the Chill & Deep House vibes. Hook up an hour of down time to digest this little gem from YouTube. I'm sure you'll be glad and thank me for the recommendation.

The Jets - You Got It All (Official Music Video)

Another iconic group from the 80s couldn't resist adding another track to a Friday night. Kicking back and enjoying the vibe of a quiet evening with the family. I don't even think twice about what could have been or even what should have been because every step was the step that took us closer to one another. Truly better than all the rest because now we're together. I remember when this track came out, it gave me hope that I would eventually find myself with someone in a way that would last more than a moment. Wow, it was worth the wait, even when it was a struggle against the unknown.

Klymaxx - I Miss You (Official Music Video)

Thinking of the days we're apart, there is a sweet longing for the moment we meet again. I sometimes take the times we have together for granted, but at the same time, there are times when even a few hours seem like an eternity. I enjoyed This favorite track from the 80s, even when I didn't have that someone to miss. The feeling is universally understood in some way or another.

Wooded Splendor

 I can't get enough of these forest scenes. The misty view, with a water detail, is a relaxing photo. This one is from Oregon, United States. It reminds me of my cross-country train rides that blaze through the coastal Pacific forests. I relish my train travels as a way to slow down the pace, and enjoy the scenery along the journey ahead.

Green

 As I travel the wooded path, I lose my way - enveloped in the luxurious green and the relaxing wooded mist. My pace slows, and I allow myself to be lost, confident I will eventually find my way. For the moment, I am in the moment, a part of the wooded world around me- a part and not apart.

Atomic Memories

 I know a little bit about the stories of what happened in Hiroshima during World War II. The devastation and the suffering that followed the blast is a lingering reminder of the ravages of war. I'm sad that these things happen at all. The dome frame is an iconic symbol of all that withstood the blast. Many lives were lost, yet life still goes on.
