Make Up Your Mind Day!




Today is "Make Up Your Mind Day"!  

Now, how many of you are singing the song by The Lovin' Spoonful"?  What, you don't know it?  Now, you will...

"Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind"




Does everything remind me of a song?  Pretty much!  There's a lot of tunes in my brain, leaving no room for important information like passwords for computers, or if I have paid a bill or where I put the latest invitation to an important engagement...but tell me one little thing and I will have a song to go with it.  (Now, where did I put that bill....)
=====================================
Hey! Besides climbing up Stone Mountain, I also walk this way...






and THAT that way when I am at the top!

I do my best to keep "walking the walk" as my friend, Pat tells me to do from the Isle of Lewis!  Thanks, Pat for your encouragement and to you all for your kind words from this past year!  

Happy New Year!

  1. A favorite song of mine! I used to play it on the guitar when I was in college. It's wonderful that you have so many songs in your mind, Kay! I wish you and all your family a wonderful and satisfying 2018!

    3. Oh, I hope you still play the piano then! My Dad made sure we had a piano in our home as we were growing up, and she played it beautifully. Once, I asked her to play from her "Book of Waltzes" as a birthday gift for me, that is how much I loved to hear her play them!

  6. Oh- yes- I well remember that song!!! There are so many songs that run through my head, too. AND- I mourn the loss of many of those artists as the years have passed. It is sad when you think of the music/songs that died with them.

    Have a wonderful 2018! xo Diana

    1. The same is wished for you! Stone Mountain is not really a mountain, it is a MONADNOCK and it just JUTS up from the land around it. (We have a few more nearby but Stone Mountain is the highest.) I have written quite a bit about Stone Mountain on my blog, if you go back and see!
      Happy New Year to you and yours! xx

    1. Oh good, I am glad you think so. For a minute there, I thought I might be "Crazy". (Great song written by Willie Nelson, but made famous by Patsy Cline.)
      Happy New Year to you!

  10. You brought two songs to my mind. Walk This Way Talk This Way. And Bill I love You So I Always Will. Sometimes the songs stored in my head drive other people crazy but theu are all good friends to me.

  13. We all have our strengths and the things that make us what we are. I listen to music most of the time and my collection of (classical) music is vast and contains composers many will never have heard of. However I am hopeless when it comes to identifying a piece of music or of being able to think of a 'suitable' piece for an occasion (as I was last night). Things you take for granted because they are inherently 'you'. On the other hand I know exactly where my bills are. My skill may be more use in every day life but it certainly does not make me half as interesting a person as you are.

    1. What a well thought out comment, Graham! Also, I know enough to recognize my weaknesses and I make sure that RICHARD knows where the bills are! Do I depend on my husband a bit much? Maybe so, but doggone it, he is so very much organized than I am!
      My father in law in England is a big fan of classical music, so you have made me a bit homesick for him!
      Happy New Year to you, Graham, hope it is filled with music.

  15. I made up my mind to have a very lazy day...actually, I made my mind up to have a very lazy Festive Season...and I succeeded in doing so! :)

    My best wishes to you and your family for a wonderful 2018, Kay. My wish is for only the best things in life go your way and land in your lap! :)
