Just Sayin...

sometimes the view

can feel

UPSIDE DOWN

MOrning morning

got coffee?

Mine is ever so hot and good

but

where's the heat of my morning?

haha

little chill left here after the

rains and thunder beings played hard this week!

I sure am NOT complaining though

since the snow capped mountains

and the Black Hills out west though

I'm just sayin...

LOL

The GREAT news is that Mom, aka COB

is A-OK for now as she has 17 stitches in

her clavicle area and the shin bone of her leg

is reported fine by the Cancer doc

in NC!

So I am grateful as is she for the well wishes, prayers

and the Warriors here who I know helped with this!

and

she is just beside herself with the good/great news there

as she

visits with relations. She thanks you all and sends her love to all here!

CANCER SUCKS

She is doing a happy dance

after hugging the docs and nurses there though.

Today

I'm just sayin

after watching a bit of T.V. last night

and hearing where another star

is now promoting her new soon to be if not already

best seller;

after watching far too many replays

of Kirstie Alley taking a fall with

that drop dead gorgeous dancer Max

on

Dancing with the Stars

this week.

It struck me

the fall that was taken was shown far more times

than the graceful and courageous

"return to the stage" and finish of the dance and the song

by this couple.

Kirstie was a warrior as was this professional dancer

who finished the dance with grace and style.

I was impressed by them both and would have preferred to see replays of the stand up and finish

rather then repeats of the unfortunate fall

and multiple commentaries of it.

The Judd that has now written her book

who is telling the world of her abuse as a child

and the "dysfunction" of her famous Mother/sister

The "Wyonnas" I believe they are;

I would prefer to hear that she has worked her behind off to "heal" and to survive

rather than another star tell us of her pain and horror story and family dysfunction.

One who will ultimately be

on

Oprah and have her book there as well.

It is rather remarkable to me

that this beautiful bird pictured above

was asked by its owner

to show us how to turn

"upside down"

and

in a swift heartbeat

that beautiful bird

"just flipped"

just like that ...

BUT

I've never seen it or its story of looking through the world upside down

on any television show!

Why is it that we now are hearing and watching shows where stars are discovering and remembering their stories

of "abuse/mistreatment/horror"

and feel the need to share them on National Television

with us?

Their stories of "meltdowns, alcohol, drugs,

and bad choices, self discovery and thoughts of taking their own lives, that need now years later,

successes beyond measure and money later

and

I can't help but wonder

doesn't that seem

upside down

to share it on national T.V.

when they are so against the tabloids sharing their lives

with regular folks?

And

come on now...

Do they really not realize that every family in the world

is dysfunctional?

But most do not have the money, the resources, the abilities

to address the traumas that now they speak so freely of

in front of a microphone

nor access to major publishers

that will pay to print the stories they are providing?

And what of their families and of

Wyonna Judd who is just living her life

and people loving her concerts?

Will it not affect like a pepple in a stream

reaching out into her audiences who pay to see and hear he perform as well?

Remember this, remember the "good ole' days"

even if they were just in your heart and mind and spirit?"

Just sayin...

Bravo Kirstie and Max for getting back up

for taking the stage with grace and style

with Max

for finishing the dance with style,

for standing with pride and doing it amazingly!

That is what we needed to see.

Remember the girl with the hiccups that made the national news?

She went on to be famous again,

she is now a Murderer

and was interviewed on

The Today Show!

She says in her defense, "the devil took over"

Give me a break..

The Today Show?

C'mon now, let's get real here

From hiccups to a murderer

and yet

she was interviewed on

The Today Show?

Just sayin...

Unresolved trauma, childhood horrors

need to be resolved

yes, some have had horrific things happen to them,

it makes your heart hurt to hear the stories.

BUT

I cannot understand

why they need to be shown on television

by those who have so much

have achieved so much

and

now have instant bestsellers

and are interviewed and applauded

when

there are so many never known by the masses

who struggle to maintain themselves

never knowing how to access services

to enhance their lives

and

when they do

there is no one

standing to hold them or pat them on the back

and

say,

"Oh my you have survived, and I am so happy that you did"

All the word is a stage my friends, your life is a stage as well!

Get out there and star in your own life.

Oprah told Barbra Walters in the beginning:

"I think I am destined for greatness".

YOu too can be destined for your own greatness, if you only believe,

if

you work your plan

believe in your dreams, resolve your pain and traumas.

STOMP

Wherever you are today

whether right side up

or

upside down

Look around

the view is and can be spectacular

if you are reading this

it means

YOU are blessed to be alive!

Outshine the sun

with an attitude of gratitude

even if

YOU were pushed into it

be grateful!

Now

dance, take the stage

and

don't forget to laugh...

but

I'm still waiting darlin", just sayin...
