Johnny Mathis - The Twelfth of Never.

Welcome to my little corner of the world  - it is cold and I can't sleep so I have been here in the middle of the night with lots of thoughts buzzing through my head.

My thoughts this morning travel over the miles to be with Nicole, Jack and Angel as they travel to Perth to be with family following the very sudden death of Nicole's Dad yesterday afternoon.  Those of us who have lost our Fathers know just how you are feeling Nicole - that numbness and disbelief.  That shattered feeling when the phone call came that would change your life forever.  It has refreshed things with me of my own Dad's passing and also that of my special "Dad Friend"  Neville - I thought they would be with me forever - I was wrong.   The words of the Twelfth of Never somehow seemed to fit this morning - things we should have said but didn't and the feelings of love that will go on until "The Twelfth of Never".

You ask how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain.
You ask how long I'll love you; I'll tell you true:
Until the twelfth of never, I'll still be loving you.

Hold me close, never let me go.
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow.

I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom;
I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume.
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme,
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.

Hold me close, never let me go.
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow.

I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom;
I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume.
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme,
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.

Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.

Be strong Nicole and be the person your Dad would want you to be.

The sun is supposed to shine in Adelaide today and it will be laundry day for me - time I got things out on the line and did some chores.  Another day of life and living for me and another opportunity to find joy in my world.  I can't find joy in laundry, but I can in the lovely clean clothes I will have when the sun has dried my clothes.  Shine on!   

I woke this morning very early and was delighted to see a lovely moon in a crisp and clear sky lighting my garden - I didn't sit out there this morning it is a little too chilly for that, but my appreciation is the same.

I find joy in the constancy of change - the cycles of the moon and the impact it has on my life.  Month rolls on to month and the moon waxes and wanes and pulls on the tides, all part of the cycle of life and I find joy that I am alive and able to view these changes.

Yes it is Monday already  - my how the weeks fly by and I hope this Monday is kind to you - it is a fresh start to the working week, the school week and I hope you can appreciate the fresh start and make it a good Monday and a great week.   Whatever your plans are for today enjoy every precious moment  - be a little kinder, offer a helping hand, be the work colleague you would like to work with.  Remember to smile wherever you are - I hope that you get green lights as you travel, nice coffee you didn't have to make, a sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you - and I wish for you a sheltering Angel so nothing can harm you.

Thank you for visiting and reading "The Musings from my Heart" - it brings me joy to write this Blog and I hope you find some joy as you visit and read.

Love and hugs, 

"I am grateful for Monday and all the hope that it brings - new day,new week and new joy."
