This is my 500th post at Bountiful Healing. I don’t know if I should celebrate it, or go in search of a life.
Since I brought a mime along, might as well party. I can’t decide on the music so I thought I’d let you, my guests, decide. Leave your suggestions in the comments.
Celebration is a kind of food we all need in our lives, and each individual brings a special recipe or offering, so that together we will make a great feast. Celebration is a human need that we must not, and can not, deny. It is richer and fuller when many work and then celebrate together.
~ Corita Kent and Jan Steward




Yay! 500… that’s quite a landmark!
The song that’s been in my head for days is ‘Statue’ by Low Millions, but I’m not sure it’d really apply to a mime.
Celebrate! You *have* a life!
How about Celebrate Me Home, the Ruben Studdard version. Friends, home, love – all that good stuff. Ahhh.
I just realized your quote was from Corita Kent. I just watched a video about her art earlier this morning. It’s at

LOL Neat mime! Made me smile.
Congrats on your 500th post! Wow! Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos and quotes! Celebrate! Celebrate, celebrate, listen to the music….
Happy 500 partner…
The only song that came to mind to go with a mime photo would be:

but I may be wrong
R(etc… )
R(etc…): I think you’re right. That’s an excellent choice to go with a mime. Thanks.
Anna: Thank you. The mime made me smile, too (and honestly, I don’t usually like mimes). He made a very cool balloon hat for me.
Bo: I was just reading about her this morning, too. I’ll have a look at the video. I almost picked Celebrate Me Home when I was looking for “celebrate” songs at YouTube.
Amuirin: Thanks.
I’m not sure there are very many things that *do* apply to a mime.
Congrat, Robin! To go with the mime theme (I hate mimes), I would suggest The Sounds of Silence by S & G.
Little late there Stevo, but good choice
R(etc… )
P.S. great minds think alike

The picture made me think immediately of Kool & the Gang’s Celebrate, even before I read what you posted so there’s the link for it!
Congrats, Robin! I have no idea how many posts I’ve made but I think it will be quite a while before I hit 500!
Stevo: I’m not a big fan of mimes either. Thanks for the song suggestion. As you can see, R(etc…) already mentioned it. And he’s right. Great minds do think alike.
Thanks, Corina.
That’s a good choice.
