Hello - here I am - much later in the day than I normally am - shopping and enjoying a glorious autumn Saturday morning - some Garage Sales and a little while spent with friends, crossword puzzles and a fleeting visit from Naomi and Alexis needing coffee cups for work. Eight coffee cups gone and also a bag. I hope that counts as "decluttering." I still have shopping to put away.
The purpose of this music and the tags is, of course the pending Royal Wedding of William of Wales and Catherine Middleton. This coming Friday will see London streets packed with crowds to view this beautiful young woman on her way to marry the future King.
Dignitaries will travel from all over the world to wish them happiness and I hope that their days are happy. Diana herself would be delighted to see her beautiful son happy and would have no doubt had some words of advice for Kate. He is so like his Mother and it saddens me that she is not here to see this day.
She was kind, compassionate, caring and very beautiful and the media hunted her and treated her badly. Let's hope there have been some lessons learned and they will be easier on Kate.
It is lovely to see them together and sense their happiness and it is my fervent hope that THIS beautiful young woman has a happy life and that the media is kind to her and allows her space and time to be herself.
I wish them sunshine on their path and a diamond studded sky and I hope indeed there will be sunshine, lollipops and rainbows for them
I hope that Kate is able to choose the dress she likes and enjoy the day without too much media criticism - it is after all their day and they are no different than any other young couple.
Today is a beautiful day and I was thinking of the brides of today and knowing how happy the cooperating weather will make them. There is just a gentle breeze blowing - so no veils being tossed in the wind.
Other Royals in the spotlight this week are the Danish Royal Family with our own Australian born Princess Mary and Prince Frederick, and the christening of their beautiful twins. Prince Vincent and Princess Josephina.
Here they are with siblings Prince Christian and Princess Isabella.
Lots of us are fascinated by Royalty and watch anything and everything to do with them, but I don't envy them their lives at all - to be in the eye of the media all the time would be very frustrating and I guess that those who do follow them do so because they are caught up in the "Fairy Tale" idea of Kings and Princes.
I do watch with some interest but it only serves to make me more thankful for the simple life that is mine. I can go walking and shopping without being recognized, I can come and go as I please and I have the freedom to be me. I can attend a movie or a show when I choose to and visit friends without an entourage of Body Guards and "Minders" I can get in my own car and just drive and mostly there is no one with a camera just waiting for me to make a mistake.
"I am grateful for my freedom - of choice and speech."
I hope that this Royal Wedding is incident free and brings joy to many hearts, and I am looking forward to seeing photographs as these Danish babies grow.
It is seeming strange to me with the day half gone and I am only just writing this blog. Life got in the way this morning and I hope your weekend is a lovely one and I am thankful to you for taking the time to visit "The Musings from my Heart."
Love and hugs,

Best wishes to this lovely couple who will have Diana with them, despite any obstacles, she would not miss this special day for her family.
To Mary, it is wonderful to see her and the family growing.
Thanks for an afternoon with a friend, albeit without coffee cups.
May we always retain our freedom and the ability to choose our life's path, and may the forks in the road all lead to safe passages
