I do declare today’s word is PRESENT
Mercy me, it’s hard to believe it’s my birthday again
I’m aiming to keep up with each moment in life’s fast lane.
It’s the year of the tiger and I’m raring and roaring to go
Ready to express royal prowess the older I grow.
Practicing being PRESENT respecting the Tao
As the saying goes “Be here now.”
I PRESENT the word PRESENT with its many interpretations
Dang but I’m blessed with all my dear relations!
PRESENTly I’m grateful to still be here on Mother Earth
For each and every breath since my birth.
Each day is truly a gift, a treasure hard to measure
Here’s to life well spent filled with plenty of pleasure!
May we be PRESENT
Blessings y’all
Peace & love
Queen Scarlett

Happy Birthday Old Queen Scarlett. I have the most difficult time being present. And I think when I sat next to you at Coronation last year, I mentioned to you my struggle with that. I needed your help to keep me “Present” and “be in the moment”. Thanx for your help with that and for the reminder.
Thanks for your message…being PRESENT is a goal for us all no matter how old we are. Blessings dear old Queen SluGoddess Slime Shine from a VERY Old Queen Scarlett
Pre-Birthday Greetings Dear Queenie!
Indeed you are (a) present! Certainly in my life
A fittin’ old proverb attributed to the Cherokee –
Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today!
So cheers for now & a big wha-hoo for ya tomorrow.
Smiles & love,

Dearest Indi…thanks for sharing happiness & inspiring words over our many years celebrating this life❣️
Thank you, Queen Scarlett: my personal Poet Laureate.
Amazing I was just thinking of this trinity of time as of yesterday and
as is usual for a poet, the thoughts have been crystalized into inspiration
from you.
A most good year for those of the tiger born & especially my tap dance friend.

Dear Ceil…thanks for your encouragement for writing rhyming blogs.I sure do miss tapping the hours away with you & the gals. Now I might go tap…then take a nap! Hugs
Happy Birthday Joanie, Each day we get up and check our senses: Can still breathe, Can still see, can still hear, can still walk and dance, can still sing. So it is just down to managing our marbles. I am sure yours are sparkly and shiny. Grateful for the here and now, the times we have had, and more in the future.
Dear Marilyn…giving gratitude for our dear friendship & for ALL the senses. Big thanks for the reminder to shine my marbles. I do practice being PRESENT, but the even older brain gets a bit forgetful. Xoxo
