Inspiration…
Posted by Desert Diva on Friday, July 31st, 2009
OK, I’ll admit it – about a hundred years ago I loved watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Now for the big secret – I wanted to BE Mary Tyler Moore. Yeah, yeah, yeah – very cheesy and not cool. However, growing up to be a baby boomer and the combination of television were seducing. I loved the show opening – the song and the way she turns with her coat on after the ducks turn in the water. However, I digress…
These days I’ve been looking for inspiration – visable proof that the world isn’t a cruel and horrible place and there are souls out there that are “good.” Not to generalize, but I’ve lost faith recently – especially in men. Something tells me there are “good ones” out there, but I haven’t seen any lately. Please don’t send me messages that say “Hey, there ARE good ones out there.” I’ll believe it when I see it and I don’t think it’s wise to hold my breath.
Was I supposed to write about “inspiration?”
Ah yes, someone has inspired me lately. I don’t think he’s aware, he’s just being honest and writing about his experiences and feelings. He’s funny, talented, and more importantly he can share his feelings. Michael, of “Privacy of the Mind” can “tell it like it is.” The “gift” in that is that at least one person doesn’t feel so alone and isolated in their feelings. I imagine there are many. So go “check out” Michael, and while you’re there go look at some of his amazing photography.
So, I leave you on this “Only the Good Friday” with wishes of “finding your own bliss,” and the following quote:
“What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life?
The world would split open.” ~ Muriel Rukeseyer

I just love the anti spam word. As to good men, they seem to turn up when you aren’t looking for them. When you are enjoying your life is exactly the moment someone decides sharing it might be a great idea.
Mary Tyler Moore was a favorite of mine in that much more innocent age if only because she had the courage to just live her life. BTW, I love your page with the beautiful Spanish tiles.
thanks for link to Michael….cool guy…..
how about editing my “foe” to “for”….typing with one finger sucks….
I already did!
Aw shucks… *blush*
Thanks!
I also wanted to be like Mary Tyler Moore. Independent and feisty. I’m still waiting!

Oh, my…your quote is ummm…disturbing to me. I think I tell the truth sometimes, but the world hasn’t split open.
Mary Tyler Moore was a favorite of mine, too. Sorry I didn’t get around on Friday. I ignored the computer for three whole days! That was my bliss!
