But what if you do a really terrific Judy Garland? Does that count?

I couldn’t help noticing, Lorna, you rock. As for your query, SwanShadow, doing a great Judy rather than trying to be her makes all the difference. Impersonations are certainly part of some damn good selves. Need a mic?

This is a series I can get into, and not just because I have a triple shot every day either. :)

I’m gonna text that one to my husband. He’s a man of very few words, he’ll love it. Thanks.

Two Jamies in a row?! That just feels lucky!? Since you both have espresso habits, it’s surely a good omen. Thank you, presumably [@ least slightly] less-caffeinated Jamie, for what may not be your first visit but is your first comment! :grin:

Good on your husband as he’s hopefully offering quality if not a quantity of words.

Tis good then that life truly is a journey, not a destination, eh? :wink: Our willingness to reassess keeps that journey on the right track too so we just need to keep taking steps, no matter how many first ones there are.

Love that Eleanor Roosevelt. I heard her described as America’s first woman president. Loved that too.

I do agree; she’s proof of how important the First Lady is, or at least should/could be.

Thanks, Dorian, for your inspiration. I love that Plato quote and added it to my quotebook. And also the Anatole France quote!

Your writing exudes appreciation. Abraham-Hicks says that appreciation is the closest thing to “pure Source energy” that we humans experience. As I appreciate your appreciation, I’m surely automatically polishing my halo. :)
