You are never too old to grow up a little more.
I’ve always loved this song
And never understood a word of it.
I’ve had a nice weekend all told and that was unexpected
And has been a lesson learned
I’ve emailed my ex husband and wished him and his new husband well
And for the very most part of it all
I really meant it
Hey ho
Oh John.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad the anticipation was the worst thing you had to endure . The worry of a boil being lanced is soon forgotten I’m told.
I’m so glad you have wished them both well.
It was time you did
Brave to say it here so I applaud you my English friend
Keith

There’s something in my eye.
DeleteI’m proud of you

I raise a toast to you, John Gray! You looked your pain squarely, took a deep breath and chose to rise above it. I am proud of you.
ReplyDeleteI’m with Debby
DeleteDebs x
Me, too. You are the better person for it. One wonders if the situation had been reversed, what would have happened.
DeleteBravo, John dear, bravo!
ReplyDeleteAlso, thank you for reminding me of this beautiful song.
Oh, shit.
ReplyDeleteTaking the high road is always the classy thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI hope your ex responded with a "thank you." You are a good man JG.
ReplyDeleteI love that song so much. Brings back so many memories from my youth.
ReplyDeleteYou are a good guy John.
Ah, a song from my teen years, sung then bt Judy Collins.
ReplyDeleteWell done in wishing your ex and his new mate well. That's one niggling bother that is now done and dusted. Good for you!
Hugs!
Well done. I hope you feel better and have many excellent weekends ahead.
ReplyDeleteTime is - as oft said, a great healer. You said the right thing and just as importantly you've moved on. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteIt is always best to take the high road. Good on ya!
ReplyDeleteI’m not taking a high road or a moral high ground . The best wishes were really for me, to acknowledge the last corner being taken in the break up of my marriage .
DeleteI need to let things properly go
Perfect. I am proud of you. Jackie
ReplyDeleteWell done John, takes a big man to go there. So proud of you, hugs. Gigi

ReplyDeleteThis link doesn't seem to work. Worth watching...google Still will I love ASL
DeleteVery pleased you did what you did. It takes a better person to overcome a hurt and still wish the ex a good life. Well done.. many hugs at your bravery. Now you can move forward.

If it's meant to describe your weekend, then it sounds like you at least got the gist of the song.
ReplyDeleteWell done John, this may help heal the wound.
ReplyDeleteYou are a good person with a huge heart.
ReplyDeleteI love this song! Today is a new moon. The new moon is a time for new beginnings. x
ReplyDeleteGood on you, John Gray for your graciousness under pressure and your example of unselfishness. Set the example. As this song about facing life from all sides and recognising the limitations we all place on ourselves. Sweer version of an iconic song from Alex Jones' daughter
ReplyDeleteApologies for spellchecker. Aled Jones not Alex.
DeleteA beautiful song! I hope I can keep close and safe within me the joy of the best times and, in the end, move through the pain to new time and another me.
ReplyDeleteYou were brave to reach out and I hope it helps.
Your kind and brave thought towards your ex will be made even more complete by a returning appreciative acknowledgment of it direct from him to you - and I can't possibly think that he won't.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn’t matter Raymondo . He’s on his journey I’m on mine now
DeleteThat's the kind of comment I'd have expected from you. Must confess that I just can't let go of grudges myself while wishing it wasn't so. But good for you!
DeleteIt’s taken me years
DeleteI'm typing quickly as my eyes are a bit watery. You are a good, kind man, John. I hope it helps heal the wound a little more. xx
ReplyDeleteThat showed true class. Josie
ReplyDeleteI am total agreement with all the comments. You have shown time and time again to be the "bigger person". Very well done ~ you really are a very kind and gentle man. Hugs Ro (n.w. Italy).
ReplyDeleteNo not the bigger person,
DeleteAnd a message for the troll..why write such obvious nasty and cruel comments…do you get so much pleasure out of trying to upset another human being
DeleteThere’s a series on Radio 4 at the moment celebrating Joni Mitchell at 80 and she talks about writing this song when she was very young and being mocked by her husband who felt she hadn’t seen any life - although she had. Interesting series.
ReplyDeleteYour graciousness is a positive step in your closure and being able to move on. The words to the song you now understand, it is a good day for you. Jan in Castle Gresley
ReplyDeleteA fine rendition of one of my all time favourite songs. From the first time I heard it, I have understood every word.
ReplyDeleteWOW. Thanks John.
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous and mature thing to do. I want to be like you when I grow up.
