girl help: Making our Dreams Come True… - Help.com

LOL! I’m not one for living in my dreams… they can get a little beyond me sometimes. :))

Oh yes… I have heard “Castles in the Sky”

Yes… its good to keep one’s head in reality. My grandma left me her journal - she passed away in September. In her journal she wrote about how imagination and dreaming lead her to live a fuller life and to overlook the unpleasant details. She was a very gifted, creative and positive person to be around. As for myself I don’t know that I would be happy faced with the cold, hard, real world as it is every day of my life. When I was a child sometimes things seemed happier to me because I lived them or I could avoid hearing the cold, hard reality …my imagination whisked me away. True - its just an escape that I can’t often turn to as an adult, but I think I would rather live with some happiness in my world. The less unnecessary stress the better the outlook in my life and as far as I know I only have one life to enjoy. So if its Castles in the Sky ….why not. :)

Yay! I used to watch all the reruns too. I was 5 when the show first came on. I don’t remember seeing it then because I was watching Sesame Street, Electric Company and Mr. Rogers for t.v. entertainment at that point. I think I got into when I was in my teens. It always used to make me laugh! There was one scene where Laverne or Shirley are stuck hanging onto a ceiling fan and going around and around that really had me cracking up. :))

LOL ~lilies~ I don’t go for long without the giggles! :))

So true Tony …stress does exist and man, don’t I know it! I just like to be able to adapt to it the best way I know how in this life and if it can cheer someone else up all the better. :) My belief is that happiness isn’t just in the end …it can be in the journey. There are so many beautiful things out there …gifts to explore, learn from and appreciate. I don’t know what I can expect after this life (as my religion may not be the same as yours), but I do know that I want to experience life in a positive light - even when the negative can teach me how to appreciate the positive.

Happy Holidays to you too! :)

:) Yay!

Ooo thats another good one! :D

Right on! I think it is sweet poetry that is in the form of lyrics or music which children can relate to and learn from. :)

Yes! I gave a music box which played this song to a friend of mine who was going through a difficult time. :D Its just one of those charming songs that gives a person a bright spot or bit of hope. Takes me back to the comfort zone of childhood when I really could live in my imagination! :D

LOL! I love it! I might just pull out some old ones too… unfortunately I traded my videos and only have DVDs now. I own Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmations, Lady and the Tramp, Pinocchio and Dumbo! I remember when I was in Italy in some shops in Venice and Florence sold hand crafted wooden Pinocchios! I am planning Italy for next summer or fall and so I think I’ll start of with good ol’ Pinocchio! :))

Yes… kind of like the old projector in school. I always felt like I was REALLY watching a film. I remember the 4,3,2,1 and the spots and scratches in the emulsion of the film until it reached the first frame of the film. Even the sounds …the way the film softly snapped along the rungs and the smell of dusty fan. Now those were the days! I remember when I saw my first film on VHS format, “Mary Poppins” - I was in 5th or 6th grade - back in the 80s! Amazing to see it like a put in a player like a cassette. When discs came out I was overwhelmed since I had already a collection of tapes - both musical and video from my teens. Oh dear - gettin’ old I am.

Oh yes… I am sure they will come up with something else the way things are moving - and it will be very pricey to start with! I remember when looking through a catalog of VHS movies some were well over $70 here (not sure in pounds)!!! I had to wait a few years for the prices to drop to $25 or so - and even that was a lot. Same thing happened with DVDs… initially quite expensive and then the price dropped over the years.

LOL! I have seen some used VHS movies here for less than a dollar now! Amazing! Considering what they were once worth. :))

Thats a sweet thing to say! :) I like to believe that too :D

Oh ~lilies~ … you always know!!! :D That was really nice …thank you for sharing! :)

Aha! ~lilies~ and on that note… you’ve got mail!

*teeee heeee* >:)) :D ;)

I love music… go for it! We could always use more singers and there are many songs to be sung! :)

A horse? …hmm. That might be nice.
