Today was a slow day – a just kickback, and relax day 😊
Oddity
#1: I happened
to glance out the front window while drinking my morning joy-juice … and saw
a tree swaying in the breeze, giving me a leafy ‘hang-loose’ toggle 😉
I smiled while finishing my
coffee, and answering texts coming in; there’s a lot going on in my small
corner of the world – I needed the reminder to hang loose: ‘this too shall
pass’.
I basically just lazed
around; drinking coffee all day, resting my body – resting my mind. Not doing
much of anything else.
The close of the day ended
with a little candle light …
… and a cheesy movie about a
celestial oddity.
I like the movie, and I was
thinking about it the other day while eating my Supper salad. It’s not always
available on YouTube.
Watching the movie got me to
thinking about several songs that kinda fit the October mood – so I gave them a
listen, too 😊
Sheb Wooley – ‘The Purple People Eater’ song:

Oddity #2: I get a chuckle out of most of the songs –
and the Purple People Eater is an all-time-favorite space alien spoof song –
but I think David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’ gets the blue ribbon, tonight 😉
