Thank You.
A quick stream-of-consciousness babble here .
I am so grateful to all of you–my beloved family, friends/favorites who inhabit or simply visit this OpenDiary community. You give me hope and laughter, thought and tears. I know several of you in “real life”, and many of you by your hearts and minds that you share here. You all give me joy and great tenderness for various reasons and understandings.
Sometimes when it feels like a huge undercurrent of the people in our country have the mentality of Reality TV or The Jerry Springer ShowI wander into this community and through your thoughts and lives, and inevitably find sweetness, depth and humor. (And sass and silliness and lovely everyday lives..)
When I find media images, attitudes, and utter human stupidity so frightening, (including at times the front page of OD-which, with the inclusion of photos, is harder to avoid)–I can often come here to my own favorites community and rest my mind with those of you who I choose to read and know. Whew! Sanity! (Well, maybe sanity is not the best word .but you know what I mean)
At times more recently, I worry and wonder–are we so low as a general population? So base, crass and entitled as what I see, hear and read so constantly? Is that shallow nature and gimme!gimme!gimme! outlook who weve really become as a people? Where is integrity..statesmanship..original thought? I soothe myself at times by coming here and finding good things.
Good people.
Even if those of you who are my family/friends/favorites are a minority of vision, quality and depth of soul in the vast stretches of ignorance and selfishness that pummel us each day, I find comfort in knowing that you are part of my reality. You give me hope for our silly human race. Motley bunch that you are of course. I adore each and every one of you for the billions of reasons known and unknown that make up who you are to me.
And you know who you are.
And thats all I want to say today just thank you. Just because.
:)xo

Right back at you, darlin’. It’s nice to see your name in bold, and I look forward to a nice taste of theater (or travel… or art) in your entries, instead of neverending drama and whinging. 😉

There is really no way to tell how well media reflects us as a whole. I wish that was not the case. I would like to hear that we are better than the media shows us. And we certainly may be. You are an oasis. Thanks for being here.

‘vision, quality and depth of soul’ – I can tell that my entry on snogging a 26 year old and a celebrity loo seat warming incident has inspired you to write this. Pfffft! You’re lovely Adagio, truly.

And thank you! There are days when this wonderful OD community of ours is a life saver to me……to find the intelligence, grace, humour and wisdom that abides here is truly a blessing in this turbulent world of ours! Thank you for this terrific entry, Adagio – you of the generous and gracious soul, a blessing to us all! : )

Shhhhhh about this, but, if I was to self-publish a book of my poetry that I’ve written in my diaries these past four plus years, would you be interested in doing some art for the book cover? I’m not sure yet if or how I can publish it, but feel it may happen. Maybe only 50 hardcovers or more softcovers. Any thoughts? No pressure intended, ya know. No rush, either. Hugs,

Me too Adagio, very well said. I get scared too, it seems the level of stupidities are rising all around us. And maybe it has to. Everything is being told. Everything. Thank you for saying how important what seems to be the minority is, here we are not so quiet eh? I would put this entry of your on Reader’s Choice where it belongs, but we who feel the same have it written on our hearts. ox

You mean so much to me as well. Thank you!

This is “babble”? Humph – All babble should be so thoughtfully articulate! You’re right, of course… and the course and cheapened state of a seeming majority of the country might be seem more common from media impressions splashed across tv & other media, or perhaps from the measure of incredulity we experience when witnessing such shallow & avaricious behavior…
