Leo (7/23-8/22)

Thinking about staying in bed late? Well good for you. In addition to the fact that you haven't been able to do that in far too long, you're going to need your rest. The universe has arranged quite the evening for you and your dear ones. Don't ask any questions, and don't try to plan it too much. Just let go and enjoy yourself, no matter where you end up. You'll be amazed at how easy that is.

Late night parties are ancient history for me. Quiet evenings at home with Hubby are just fine with me. Being able to sleep late in the morning is a luxury we appreciate. But we are glad to have jobs.

Leo (7/23-8/22)

Even you, famously known to often be the most difficult of all signs to talk into staying home on the couch long enough for half a sitcom, can occasionally be impossible to pry out of your favorite chair. Yep, you guessed it. This is officially one of those nights. Don't apologize, don't make excuses and don't force yourself to make an appearance anywhere if you're not into it. After all, stars can make these decisions -- and was there ever any doubt about your stardom?

Let's become little old ladies together- we'll stay up late looking at old pictures, telling "remember when" stories, and laughing till our sides ache. Let's become eccentric together- the kind of old ladies who take long walks, wear silly hats, and get away with acting outrageous in public places. And if anybody should ask how long we've been friends, we'll say, "Oh, forever - since before you were even born!" Let's become little old ladies together because a friendship that's as special as ours can only grow better through the years.

"In winter's cold and sparkling snow,

The garden in my mind does grow.

I look outside to blinding white,

And see my tulips blooming bright.

And over there a sweet carnation,

Softly scents my imagination.

On this cold and freezing day,

The Russian sage does gently sway,

And miniature roses perfume the air,

I can see them blooming there.

Though days are short, my vision's clear.

And through the snow, the buds appear.

In my mind, clematis climbs,

And morning glories do entwine.

Woodland phlox and scarlet pinks,

Replace the frost, if I just blink.

My inner eye sees past the snow.

And in my mind, my garden grows."

- Cynthia Adams, Winter Garden

Little Sparrow

"Once upon a time there was a little sparrow,

She loved to fly so high in the sky

So innocent and free

One day while flying

She sensed an immediate threat

Looking down, she saw a hunter

With his pointed straight up at her

Ready to flee,

She looked upwards

Only to see

Even more danger

An eagle eyeing her from way up above

Like a piece of candy

The Little Sparrow with no choice to be free,

Decided to let go,

Surrendering her life to God,

In complete serenity

In that precise moment

A snake bit the hunter,

Who misfired his riffle,

Hitting the eagle

Setting the Little Sparrow free."

I admit that I haven't seen any of the most recent films. "Gravity" does look interesting.

Yesterday I watched two oldies but goodies; "The Light that Failed" with Ronald Colman, Ida Lupino and Walter Houston. The other was "Letter from an Unknown Woman" with Joan Fontaine and Louis Jordaun. (spelling?) I found them on Youtube.
