Your diary made me think of this old song
Just sing! Believe it! It won’t be long!
TRUE?

I Want to Be Happy
From the stage musical "No, No, Nanette" (1924)
(made into the American film "Tea For Two")

Music: Vincent Youmans
Lyrics: Irving Caesar

NANETTE:
I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy too.
Life's really worth living
When you are mirth giving
Why can't I give some to you?
When skies are gray
And you say you are blue
I'll send the sun smiling through
I wanna be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy too.
I want to be happy...worth living When we are mirth giving
Why can't I give some to you?
When skies...blue
I'll send that sun smilin' through.
I want to be happy...happy too.
I won't be happy
(She won't be happy)
I won't be happy
Till the day you're happy too.

When skies are gray
And you say you are blue

JIMMY:
I'll send the sun smiling through

NANETTE:
I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy too.

JIMMY:
When skies are gray
And you say you are blue

NANETTE:
[Spoken]
What're you gonna do?

JIMMY:
I'll send the sun smiling through

BOTH:
I want to be happy
But I won't be happy

NANETTE:
Till I make you happy too.

JIMMY:
I can make you happy too.

You are not alone in this place
Your colors or make-up are not a disgrace
This dark carnival is really a merry-go-round
A place to get lost with those wanting to be found!
All the love your world will ever need lies within you
Expressing it here is a great thing to do!
Because you never know who you’re writing to
Remember, your words may live long after you!!!

Blue

Your words have said a lot
YOUR DAD is gone and all you have got...
Are memories of times you had
And some framed pictures of YOUR DAD
But he left you so much more, you see
His love is more than a memory
It is a growing, living thing
It inspired you to write this rhyme
That will make people sing!
Look up from your tears!
Look up from your cloud!
Keep writing like this and YOUR DAD will be proud

Through your words, let your love flow to others. In time you will know the greater JOY of giving a voice to fellings that otherwise would remain unspoken.

Recycled/Edited from Blue Notes Message Board

Our recycle bin is overflowing
Tonight my heart is too
I already leaked this secret
Somewhere else and not to you

I didn’t mean to wave-the-flag just yet
But need all the support that I can get
So PLEASE read below and pass it on

Ask DR. PHIL to create a YELLOW RIBBON BOARD until the war is won!


If I tell you a secret...
Promise not to tell?
MIKE is leaving Monday
He is going to THAT HELL
There are other MOTHERS out there
Who shout and rant and yell
But MIKE'S MOM write rhymes...
Like MOTHER GOOSE
Does that name ring a bell?

As before, you will see parts of this post recycled elsewhere edited and revised. That’s sort of the way I work --thinking aloud/before a crowd/ thinking on my feet/ not always so neat! / Should I scrap this post?/ One click! And ZAP! IT’S toast/ Or save and paste and post/ What matters most to me?/ MIKE is MY SON, you see!

There is something NEW being formed with-in me these last days. We plan to help launch a support forum of some sort. Here on drphil.com? Don’t know! I think this idea is way overdue. Most Americans agree to support OUR TROOPS. That’s wonderful. But we can do more. OUR TROOPS are individuals... every soldier is someone’s son or daughter. FAMILIES are in that war.

THE WAR has hit my home. I must at the very least keep a light in the window. Maybe September 11th is a GOOD DAY to give birth to a board to SUPPORT OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS. Stay tuned!

Blue

Men and women who are in-service-to-our-country have a job to do and need our FULL support to do it.

Our soldiers have a job to do
And FAMILIES
So do we!

Let’s join in SUPPORT for
Our sons and daughters
FREEDOM
IS NOT FREE!

I tried and tried to write to you
But the words just would not come
I wanted to show how much I cared
But all I could think of was my OWN SON

I wanted to ask you about your boy
Was this his first time away?
But I sat and I sat looking at your words
And DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY!

I don’t know why they do what they do!
perhaps your own happiness is up to you
Take care of your family
Learn
Live
And grow
You’re a beautiful person
Just let it show!
Blue

Good evening ShortyLock! It’s Wednesday!

Just having a little fun
You know I have a reputation
For being that sort of one
I didn’t read your other posts
But thanks for that first reply
Some folks get intimidated by my rhymes
And just up-and-say goodbye!

Blue

Let's form a circle of love hand-in-hand
To hold us together
Hang tight!
Strong we stand
Over adversity
Under stress
Through this vail
Forward!
Ever-onward
No defeat
Never fail

Blue

Hi! I am Blue
How do you do?
Now that your diary was featured today
Bet many folks will come out and play!

WELCOME! to the neighborhood!
As THE PHIL would say you’re “Lookin’ Good!”

You are going to get some “buddies”
If it’s up to me!
Hang in there SUNSHYN
Just wait and see!!!

Blue

I want to take time to write you a rhyme
Cause that’s what I do, it’s true

Hi Shorty!What’s new?
Thank you for your note to Blue
Thanks you for reading some of the our diary too!
So you want to be a friend to Blue?

Good! My rhymes didn’t scare you away!

I have been posting on drphil.com for awhile now. I do visit around the neighborhood a bit. Mostly the Weight Loss Groups. I started my own board called Blue Notes a year ago last June. All those old posts are under Message Boards Archives -ADD A WEIGHT LOSS DISCUSSION. You will find the current (new) BLUE NOTES Message under WEIGHT LOSS DISCUSSIONS. It’s really about funny rhyme-play as much as it is about weight loss. And yes! I have lost weight! 60+ Pounds and have 25 to go! (240+/185/160)

But now I’ve decided to start meeting folks one-on-one here in The Diaries and write about other things. I try to read the FEATURED DIARIES almost everyday and post to one or two folks. It takes time, and occasionally it’s hard to know what to write. But I’m so concerned that often NO ONE has commented to even a FEATURED diary. It’s sad that folks who open-up to “the world” in this SHARED forum should be denied! What do you think?

Remember, if I don’t get back to you right away, it’s not because I don’t want to. I will get back soon. Everything takes so much time! But, now you know where to find me if you want to. Right?

PROBLEMS POSTING on drphil?

I read your messages TO BLUE only by clicking on YOUR USER NAME and then clicking on VIEW DIARIES FROM THIS USER on your profile page. that’s why I'm e-mailing you. and posting this to the TRUE BLUE shared diary.

About posting on the drphil.com diaries: Make very sure EVERY TIME that you click to make a check in the box marked SHARED at the top of the form where you type your message. If you don’t, I think it’s assumed that you DON’T WANT IT SHARED, and when you click POST, your message is HIDDEN.

Now, I looked at my diary TRUE BLUE, and there are no messages from you there. So I guess you didn’t find me and post to me there. Anyway, you can find me at TRUE BLUE in the SHARED DIARIES. Also at “my” current MESSAGE BOARD Blue Notes. There are also READ ONLY Blue Notes in the MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE under ADD A MESSAGE BOARD If you want to know some history on Blue Notes.

From your profile page I see that you have begun to post to the boards too. Remember you can participate in as may discussions as you want to. And a little advice, sometime “board loyalty” runs deep and comes-on very early. I think some posts just get lost with some of the busier boards. Some times folks get lost too!

I would like to recommend a few of my favorite stops in the drphil.com “neighborhood” to you.

For a small group and lots of one-on-one encouragement go to: 0H MIDDLE AGE PLUS AND WE GOT REAL. A bit larger group of our aged folks can be found at: OVER 50 WLC COMMUNITY. BLUE NOTES got started form that group. Someone suggested Blue write a BOOK and Blue Notes was born in June 2004. Now if only THE PHIL would feel the sane about my RHYMES!

The "WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS ALONE ANYMORE!" Board Is a newer board with a nice mix of folks. It was created by Vicki who has quite a story to tell.

I see we have more than age in common. You see, EXERCISE is not my favorite thing. I have been walking as much as I can, and yes THE HEAT is a factor. I lived in South Carolina when I started the UWLS 7 Keys and now I live in Georgia. I’m just getting started at: PHIL TO THE 7TH POWER EXERCISE CLUB My doctor’s gave the OK to start “REAL” IE (INTENTIONAL EXERCISE)

I’ve been pals with 7th Power’s Andiepie since the beginning, however. She’s also one of the folks who rhyme on Blue Notes. All our folks don’t write in rhyme, but we do like to play with words. We encourage “LURKERS” unlike many board and we move very slowly there.

Take a walk around the neighborhood
Stop and just say “HI!”
You’ll find folks to will support you
Or a friend to stand close-by

There will be both Joy and Pain
As you travel along the way
When you find a place that feels like “home”
Perhaps you’ll want to stay!

Well, it’s very late, And this is very long. I;m going to post it as my DIARY today so other’s can use this information. If you would like, reply to me there. Remember to check the SHARED box before you press post!
