Hello all....
Hope you are well and had a blessed christmas...
I came to the computer today, ready & waiting to hear something special...to listen to a song that would feel timeless...not so easily thrown away like so much of the world today is... I started thinking about the boxing day sales, and how we have them every christmas, and suddenly those clothes or stuff that wasn't in the sale before, and that you couldn't afford before, suddenly goes in the sale and it totally changes how you view that item... you know what I mean? Have you ever seen a real expensive bag and thought that you would buy it if you could...and then you see it dashed on the floor in a sale 'frenzy' and suddenly it just isn't worth what you thought/felt it was before you saw that?!....same like how the rings in 'SWAG' (The poorly named jewellery store) are oddly sparkly, but then you go past the shop when the lights are off, and the rings just look ordinary...beautiful but just not as special as they seemed to make out when they stood there in the shop window, under lights brighter than the sun!....
Well I think I am the kind of person who likes those things in life that are more real, less deceiving...I like those things that aren't always so super shiny that they lose their natural appeal and beauty...I like those people who are refreshing...I like the mountains and how tall they are, and how it reminds me of how small I am...so when I saw this video of an old classic that I love, I was pleasantly surprised because after a while of looking through youtube a few too many times, I found this video, this 'performance' and this music, that seems a little less shiny...a bit more what I'm into, and hope to achieve through my expression...enjoy friends...xx
Love this post Abz!!! Speaks to me on so many levels right now! I was thinking the other day, its been a while since I took time out of my 'busy' life to appreciate the finer things that hold that true sparkle you speak of. I haven't watched the sun set in a while and I haven't taken a stroll through the park in time...and I find that the things I've been buying as of late seem a lot less special when they're thrown amongst my current mountain of possessions...ad I suppose I buy so much because I'm looking for something with that real sparkle...anywho...loved it...feel it...love u!xxx
