Happy Birthday Joni
Best Wishes and Thank You for your lovely music and wonderful songs.

Singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell is one of the most influential songwriters of the 20th century. She was born on November 7 1943, in Fort Macleod, Canada.
After teaching herself how to play the guitar, she went off to art college and soon became one of the leading folk performers of the late 1960s and ’70s.
Joni Mitchell won her first Grammy Award (best folk performance) in 1969, for her sophomore album, Clouds.
Over time she has received several Grammys in various categories, including traditional pop, pop music and lifetime achievement.
She was inducted into the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame in 1997 and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2007.

So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way…

Beautiful and Inspiring YouTube Playlist


 

This video is from my Youtube Playlist, “Beautiful, Inspiring and Funny”. These videos feature “Art, Nature and People” – All videos in this playlist I created from the photos and text in forwarded Emails I received.
(I was learning how to use PowerPoint).

For some of the videos I have researched and added comments and links with additional information.

“No Copyright Infringement Is Intended”

A little Girl and her Father

Here is a short story with a beautiful message… MM900283113

A little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter,
“Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don’t fall into the river.”The little girl said, “No, Dad. You hold my hand.”“What’s the difference?” asked the puzzled father.

“There’s a big difference,” replied the little girl.

“If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may
let your hand go.

But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter
what happens, you will never let my hand go.”

So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours…

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.

Biker Prayer

For all the Bikers who went on the “2 million Bikers to DC Ride” and all the other Rides, like “Rolling Thunder” that are done, this is for you.

A Reason, a Season or a Lifetime

Gold Hearts

 People come into your life for a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty; to provide you with guidance and support; to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.

It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you are a reason, a season or a lifetime.
