April LML Photo Challenge, Day 30: Arms. "Open your arms and welcome people to your town" (Editors, Open Your Arms). This is an old picture from a weekend in one of my happy places. It's a small town in SW Virginia along the Appalachian Trail, and the people there are some of the kindest and friendliest I have ever met. They've always welcomed me and all others who find them. Salute!! (And yes, I still have batwings but I do not care!!) #lyrics_meet_lens #lml_apr17 #arms
April LML Photo Challenge, Day 29: Evergreen... "I’ll leave this all behind for you when I’m gone / You grew from a seed / Forever strong as a pine tree / Always an evergreen..." (Evergreen, Knuckle Puck). My parents have given me so much strength, resilience, and gumption. I would not have made it through 47+ years without their precious gifts. I pledge to remain strong and true, as you raised me. #lml_apr17 #lyrics_meet_lens #evergreen
April LML Photo Challenge, Day 28: Love. "I feel the patience of unconditional love I feel a strength, I feel your faith in me..." (Neil Young, Walk With Me) Without a doubt, I've been blessed with completely unconditional love -- especially from these two. My maternal grandmother was my world as a child. And as an adult, I was blessed with The Sweetest Puppy In The Whole Universe -- we doted on each other. #lyrics_meet_lens #lml_apr17
April LML Photo Challenge, Day 27: Everything ... "Everything is everything / What is meant to be, will be / After winter, must come spring / Change, it comes eventually" (Lauryn Hill, Everything Is Everything). Sure, some see weeds; others see wishes. #dandelion #lml_apr17 #lyrics_meet_lens
April LML Photo Challenge, Day 26: Tonight "Love is alrite tonight; baby, we're gonna be alright...." (Rick Springfield, "Love Is Alrite Tonight"). A 35-year-old dream came true last summer when I got to see him live. His posters adorned my walls in junior high. He's still got it! @rickspringfield #lyrics_meet_lens #lml_apr17 #livemusic PS: I know its misspelled because that's how the song is titled.
April LML Photo Challenge, Day 25: Waking Up ... "Woke up this morning, had them Statesboro Blues / Woke up this morning, had them Statesboro Blues / Well, I looked over in the corner, and Grandpa seemed to have them too...." (Statesboro Blues, Allman Brothers Band). Well, I can't say I've ever had the Statesboro Blues but a morning like this one might make me wish I was going anywhere besides work. #lesigh #lml_apr17 #lyrics_meet_lens
April LML Photo Challenge, Day 24: Change "Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange) Ch-ch-changes Pretty soon now you're gonna get older..." (David Bowie, Changes). Me through time... and all the ch-ch-ch-changes. #lyrics_meet_lens #lml_apr17 #thehair
April LML Photo Challenge, Day 23: UP. "Up, up, up, up, up, up points the Spire of the steeple / But God's work isn't done by God, It's done by people." (Up Up Up Up Up Up, Ani DiFranco). True. We are the only ones who can do the work. Sometimes a miracle slides it along a little further but we do the heavy lifting. Here's my parish in celebration last weekend, lighting the Easter fire, telling the stories of our faith, to remind us and enable us to continue the mission. #lml_apr17 #lyrics_meet_lens #up #eastervigil (at Saint Andrew Catholic Church, Clemson, SC.)
