"So Thankful ! "

Today I ran into an old friend...an amazing writer and musician. We had the most wonderful conversation, catching up on our lives and old friends......and.... where is that Floyd Domino? And remembering Mr. and Miss Moon (no one will ever play a steel guitar quite like Mr. Moon!) I have had the honor and privilege to have some of the most amazing people in my life over the years. Some very famous and celebrated, and some who are not visible in that kind of way, but special people who have been and are hidden treasures along the way....sometimes off the beaten path in very remote places. I am thankful that God has given me eyes to see and ears to listen. After our talk, today I have been thinking so much about Waylon and Jessi (who I have missed very much) John Cash and June, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson and Lisa. I thank God everyday for the incredible blessing that he gave me when he brought all of them into my life. All the fun times on the road...cuttin up and making music all over the near world!! "Miss Priss and The Wild Bunch!" Why me? I will never understand why I was chosen to go on that "great adventure" with them, for that season in my life, but I can tell you this...... there will never be men or women quite like them ever again. They were and are cut from "another cloth" and totally marched to the beat of a different drummer. And I guess I did too....still do. Oh the wonderful times we had, and those memories will remain treasure's in my heart forever. I wrote a little vinyette ...a funny little story about my times with them. A tribute...with much, much love that I will be posting soon.
Thank you God for all my yesterdays...my today....and I really look forward to all the tomorrows you have planned for me. It is truly great to be alive...Yes, and as Dorinda Clark Cole sings "I'm Still Here"...so just "Thank You!!!!:)

Love,
Patricia
