You’re starting over! The one you love isn’t free! And you catch a look at yourself, and you think, “I’m not so bad!” Sure, you could use a little work, but couldn’t we all? There’s a whole city to explore! You, in new clothes, and there’s newness that abounds! Sure, the streets are little less crowded. And you gotta keep six feet from each other. But a smile can travel a mile! It’s so nice to be appreciated. Maybe it’s time to jump over into this new film. You bled to death in the old one, receiving third billing. Maybe this one is a romantic comedy! Oh, I’m made for this part!! You look refreshed from that last role you played. Oscar might notice! You’ve moved up to equal billing with a new face in the leading role! Why not explore? What’s tying you down and keeping you so blue? Always worried if someone will approve? Let somebody else worry for a change! Better yet, how ‘bout no worry at all. Just love, and laugh! Oh, that smile of yours that’s been missing for so long. People have missed it. They might not have said so. But they notice when that smile of yours returns! Oh, do they ever!! You’re golden. It’s a crime that you’ve forgotten. But, now you remember again. No one will love everyone. You’ll be rejected for sure. You’ve done quite a bit of rejecting of your own! All that stuff that brings you down, that no longer serves. Smile! Someone loves you. They think you’re kinda neat. It’s okay that you use words like that, you don’t have to try to fit in. Into a room that never wanted you. How dare you! Do that to yourself! Why, you’re the brightest one of them all! *That’s* the secret. They are hoping you don’t find out! But the secret got out! You’re wonderful! Just as you are. Sure, you might not be Garbo or Gable. But, wow! You do have this certain magic! It comes out! It’s effusive! It simply rolls off you! When you know it yourself, that is. It’s the most important part. Let go of all that haunted you. All that old rejection, that not being wanted. How dare you treat yourself this way! You’re beautiful, *and you know it!!* Time to start a new play! A fresh cast of characters! Not that heavy drama you were cast in the last time out! With disease and pestilence and bottom-of-the-ranking billing – the character who was written to lose out. Oh, not this time. It was simply miscasting! It happens all the time. But that was yesterday. You’re beautiful! You’re seasoned. Maybe in a windbreaker jacket. You make it look stylish. Even your hair is fresh! If you’re lucky enough to have it! Your skin’s a little softer. And your smile that much whiter. You’re aces now, boy! You’re comin’ up, girl! You haven’t aged so bad at all! Wow, you clean up well!! What a wonderful day to get started! If there are past lives, there’s a reason we don’t remember them! You’re new now! This joint has just started shaking! Look at all the new faces! Old and young! And look at *you!* Alive and breathing! Something screaming out from deep inside you, “Oh, no-no-no!! We’re not done!!” Don’t turn out the lights! We’ll let you know when your show is over! Don’t decide it for yourself! There’s big-time living to do! So many lives in the space of just one! And here is a new one! And you’re going to be oh-so very loved! You can feel it now! And it’s just getting started! Settle in! And fasten your belt! “It’s going to be a bumpy night, fellas!” said like Bette Davis! You’ve got movie-star looks! Whether it’s Cary Grant or Jimmy Cagney! Whether it’s Lena Horne or Grace Kelly! Oh, there is this magical look about you that draws them in! And after playing so many parts, *now* you’re cast in the role of a lifetime! One so befitting to you! That makes use of all your skills and talents – ones you never even knew you had! They were being honed and crafted while your mind was somewhere else. While your heart was being broken. But look at you rise up! Your face on a fresh movie poster. You’re in the starring role! This time out! I think you’re gonna like this picture! This one is a true crowd pleaser! My gosh, have people missed your smile!! It’s so *nice* to see it again. And, you want to know something? You deserve it. Like no one we’ve ever known. We’ve missed you. Now? You’re right where you belong. And you’re just getting started. ❤️  

New near-daily video starts in May! Thank you to all of you who have been so supportive. I’m thinking of you as I write this! There’s a whole new day on the way! You’re just getting cracking! It’s so nice to have each other … to remind us of the beauty – that we see in the other. Thank you! From now on, it’s equal billing! You’re too big a star to be a third wheel. The secret is out! They were hoping you wouldn’t find out. You are absolutely positively AMAZING!!!! ☀️
