Sign o’the times?

Fairly hilarious, IMHO! But aren’t we all just fools out walking around in an amazing, wonderful, terrible world?

Now that I’m giving presentations and just talking more in general, I spend part of our morning walk doing facial exercises (speaking of looking like a fool!) and some rudimentary vocal exercises too. On a lark I pulled up “Do Ri Me” from The Sound of Music (movie) to sing along with and started crying. I grew up listening to so many musicals because Mother loved them, and there is just a raw sense of innocence I feel when I hear those songs. I both mourn and celebrate the child I once was, so scared to sing and dance and yet filled up to the brim with music! I feel a need to go watch some classic musicals soon. Gigi, anyone?

Keely took her time on our walk, anyway. If you follow me on instagram you might have caught the reel I posted this morning, a truly boring vid capturing Keely sniffing a lamp post. I’ve been off that platform for a while and I’m trying to get back in the habit; I used to love instagram! But whew, it sure has changed a lot…
