Hold on Tight To Your Dreams - ELO


Hold on tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold tight to your dream.

It's a long time to be gone

Time just rolls on and on

You need a shoulder to cry on

When you get so sick of trying

Just hold tight to your dream


When you get so down that you cant get up ~ And you want so much but you're all out of luck


Accroches-toi a ton reve ~ Accroches-toi a ton reve. Quand tu vois ton bateau partir. Quand tu sents -- ton coeur se briser. Accroches-toi a ton reve.

When you get so down that you cant get up ~ And you want so much but you're all out of luck

Hold on tight to your dream

Hold on tight to your dream

When you see the shadows falling

When you hear that cold wind calling

Hold on tight to your dream.

Oh, yeah

Hold on tight to your dream

Yeah, hold on tight...

To your dream.

In the last couple of years I have walked a road that until I did I would have never thought I would have survived... and what I know now is that
I have

I can

I will

I have walked through or near heart wrenching betrayal, blasphemy, hate, abondonment, death, disease, suicide, and murder... and I know that in the morning Joy still reigns. I know that my Redeemer lives. Yes.

"I know that my Redeemer lives! * What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, he lives, who once was dead; He lives, my ever living head! * He lives triumphant from the grave; He lives eternally to save; He lives exalted, throned above; He lives to rule his Church in love. * He lives triumphant from the grave; He lives eternally to save; He lives exalted, throned above; He lives to rule his Church in love. * He lives to grant me rich supply; He lives to guide me with his eye; He lives to comfort me when faint; He lives to hear my soul’s complaint. * He lives to silence all my fears; He lives to wipe away my tears; He lives to calm my troubled heart; He lives all blessings to impart. * He lives to bless me with his love; He lives to plead for me above; He lives my hungry soul to feed; He lives to help in time of need. * He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly friend; He lives and loves me to the end; He lives, and while he lives, I’ll sing; He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King! * He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly friend; He lives and loves me to the end; He lives, and while he lives, I’ll sing; He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King! * He lives and grants me daily breath; He lives, and I shall conquer death; He lives my mansion to prepare; He lives to bring me safely there. * He lives, all glory to his name! He lives, my savior, still the same; What joy this blest assurance gives: I know that my Redeemer lives!"

My Mr BLUESKY







Mr Blue Sky ~ ELO

Yes... I have blogged the song before - but it is worth featuring again.

I want to introduce an amazing young photographer and the song fits my heart's joy regarding him.

FoLK ArT & BLUE SKiES

~ 1884 salvaged wood ~


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



MR. BLUE SKY
~ ELO ~





This song never fails to make me smile. The concert footage in this video is part of an excellent performance best viewed in a dark home theatre setting- on high volume!



~ 1884 salvaged wood ~

In keeping with blue skies, happy colors, and all things bright and beautiful - I am transitioning here to some folk art I created over the summer from a harvest of Lake Erie driftwood and some antique salvaged wood.

I have dozens of fish and text signs on eBay (live auctions and buy-it-now items in my eBay store)




~ 2007 Driftwood ~

Most of the wood was collected last spring - I remember one particularly cold and windy day when I was certain I'd frozen my ears off.





The color and texture on these is so rich and fun - most difficult to see in these small images. These Cirque du Soliel style fishies are really fun.



It is simple ... enjoy the music ... enjoy the folk art.

To see more (and I hope you will look) - check out "MY ART FOR SALE" in the link to the upper left.

joy in the journey,

SiMPLy BLuE...





TuSCaNy SKiES...

I was struck by an unusual color in the sky in March. It was an intense blue not often seen in the Great Lakes region this time of year… it was Tuscan Blue. It was amazing to think it had been hiding behind the gray all along.

I was so motivated that while I was hanging out on a small wood step stool at Border’s Books, I started looking at travel guides on Tuscany to look for more of this magnificent blue. While my son searched high and low for more books worthy of reading, (he inhales them like air) I inhaled images of Tuscany.

When we got home I decided to create my own naïve view of Tuscany and the elements my eye found the most lovely… the blue sky, yes, but the terra cotta roof lines and the antiqued and aged mustards of all the stucco walls…

It is simple… it is my TuSCaNy SKieS…
joy in the journey,
katey



It is for sale on eBay incredibly cheap - as is all my art there!

Today's Music: Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra

Sun is shinin' in the sky, there ain't a cloud in sight. It's stopped rainin', everybody's in a play, and don't you know, it's a beautiful new day.

Runnin' down the avenue, (Pant, Pant, Pant) see how the sun shines brightly. In the city, on the streets, where once was pity, Mr. Blue Sky is living here today.

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why, you had to hide away for so long - where did we go wrong.

Hey there Mr. Blue, we're so pleased to be with you. Look around see what you do, everybody smiles at you.

Hey you with the pretty face, welcome to the human race. A celebration! Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin' and today is the day we've waited for !(Chorus)

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,You had to hide awayFor so long where did we go wrong.

Mr. Blue you did it right, but soon comes Mr. Night, creepin' over, now his hand is on your shoulder ... never mind I'll remember you this way.
