RhumbaGirl's Journal, 04 Jul 23

Warning: this post is not food-related so if that bothers you, please Scroll On By.

This seems a bit anti-climactic now but it has been on my mind for the last several days. While I was actually out being somewhat productive today (translation: not here), the most interesting and delightful thing apparently happened. To everyone who helped take out the trash, a thousand thank yous and especially to the admins for doing what needed to be done. Paraphrasing Glinda the Good Witch, “You can come out now, it’s safe. She’s
Dead.”

If I live to be 100 I will never understand what happened to her personality in the 9 months she was here. She lost 55 pounds but turned into a snarky (w)itch just like the one at the gym who was hanging all over her ex-BF when she was overweight and so miserable at the beginning. I felt sorry for her then and feel sorry for her now.

Moving on!

Sometimes a kind word or two is all it takes to turn someone’s day around, and you never know when it might be your turn to be in need. If you’re young enough that this song is before your time (lucky you!), I hope you’ll check it out on your favorite music site. This recording was a big part of Glen Campbell’s defining country-pop crossover career, hitting at #2 in the country chart and #1 on the adult contemporary.

Hope everyone is having a blessed day.


"Try a Little Kindness"
by Curt Sapaugh and Bobby Austin
as sung by Glen Campbell in 1969


If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and say, "You're going the wrong way"

You've got to try a little kindness
Yes, show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

Don't walk around the down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day
Will help someone along their way

You’ve got to try a little kindness
Yes, show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

You’ve got to try a little kindness
Yes, show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

And the last song written by the same great man, "I'm not gonna miss you."

I love this and GC!! He made a beautiful documentary with his family towards the end of his life. We've watched it more times than we should have. But it's so special and inspiring. He was an amazing person. To your other point I try to get on here and encourage others daily. While doing it almost every day in real life as well. I'm not everyone's cup of tea and that's fine. I do what you said I scroll by and or unfollow some people. I TRY to inject as much positivity and happiness into my mind/life/day as I can. Thanks for this it was well said.

I've said those exact words a few times, I try to leave encouraging comments on new people's posts as well as seasoned fs friends as you never know who might need it. Negative energy is a waste and I prefer to not have it in my life. We may not always agree with each other and that is absolutely ok. I've learned so much from those types of conversations but they are usually done in a productive manner. Hateful words are not acceptable. Hope you had a nice holiday and thanks for letting us know about that person..❤️🤍💙

My mom would play this album while I was falling asleep as a little kid. Haven't thought of that in years. Thanks for the post. :)
