Remember that song by Al Stewart? Unfortunately, I do. It wasn’t a great tune. Al Stewart is famous for that song ‘The Year of the Cat’. It was a trippy number; mellow and smooth, but also kinda creepy. My sister and I used to make fun of it for some reason. Well, I know why–it’s because we loved doing song parodies and making sport of easy listening music. You have to understand it in order to truly do it any justice. That sort of falls in with my guilty pleasure fixation. Yeah, I know…I should get a life, but I just don’t wanna right now.

See, the thing of it is this: what would have been my sister’s 50th birthday fast approaches. Cool thing is it’s also the birthday of the ever lovely Keanu Reeves. So, while I am in a sad, sorta blue mood thinking about my sister’s death, I also have the joy of knowing that Keanu is celebrating his life.

Warped, but neat. My sister didn’t embrace the aging process one bit. She was vain, so I can tell you right now that the big FIVE O would have just about killed her. As her kids grow up and believe me, they’ve grown up, I think about how proud she would be of the kind of people they’re turning out to be. Mind you, they get on my nerves but you know they’ve been a blessing to me and they’re really neat folks.
They’ve got compassion, they’re smart, they’re sweet, they’re funny as hell. Both of them have a great sense of humor. The gal’s is corny and silly and the boy-o’s is sarcastic and dark like aspects of mine. They both love music, which would delight my sister to no end.

I’m in a happy place in my life. Things aren’t perfect, but they’re plenty fine by me. I have more friends than I know what to do with at times, I’m relatively healthy (both body and mind), I laugh every day and I’m not living on the streets in my own filth.
That’s pretty good in my book.  I’m seeking contentment. Pfunk’s foolosophy is all about finding your bliss, reaching for your goals and dreaming big. It’s also about accepting things as they are when you can’t change your circumstances. Sometimes you have to sit still to move forward.

I hope my readership increases, but if it doesn’t and I never  make a penny from this blog, I’ll still be happy and I’ll still write because I know that it’s important to me.

So, on September second as you’re enjoying the weekend with your loved ones, think of someone who couldn’t be there with you and tell them you love them. Let them know you miss ‘em and when they were with you that you did appreciate them. I think you’ll feel the warmth of the response from them in your soul.
