And Feelin' Groovy
Groovy (slang)
Definition: Very good. Although popular in the 60's, this word comes from the 30's. Where swing musicians were in the groove like when a phonograph needle fits neatly into the groove on a record.
When I was a kid the word “groovy” was very much in the vocabulary of the world around me. Being groovy was a good thing. I can remember using ‘groovy’ as a one word positive answer to a piece of information I was given. Somehow the word got stuck in and with the 60’s and that’s too bad because I thought it was a perfectly good word.
Puppetry makes me feel groovy, both watching other puppeteer and being a puppeteer myself. It gives me a warm feeling inside that makes me happy and feeling good about myself. Maybe part of it is pride because I think it is one of the few things I can do well that not everyone can. There are occasions that puppetry hits close to a religious experience for me.
I felt groovy the day I got married. There is a lot of planning that goes into a wedding. My mother took point on most of it for which I am eternally grateful. The wedding went off with out a hitch and the reception was a lot of fun. Peter and I had a lot of our friends there to celebrate with us. We held the reception at the Atlanta Shakespeare Tavern. Since then we found out we have become a factoid at the Tavern. I highly recommend the Shakespeare Tavern for a good evening of theater, food, and drink.
I felt groovy on the day I had Caroline. It was after Peter had gone home and I was sitting up with Caroline on my chest. She was asleep and let out a little sigh of contentment as I rubbed her back lightly. That sound made me feel very good and that I could be a Mom and give comfort to my child.
I feel groovy after the costume is done along with the stage presentation. I am a nervous wreck before that contemplating all that might happen or go wrong and occasionally watching those worries come true so I have to quickly problem solve the issue. But once the whole thing is done, I feel groovy. I felt very groovy when I talked to Brian Froud about the Labyrinth Costume. That one had me on cloud nine for a while.
I feel groovy hanging out with famous people. It can be fun to have someone that everyone else at the convention is waiting to see stop what they are doing and call me over to say Hi and get a hug. I groove on the looks that I get from others as they try to figure out who the heck I am. I groove less when people try to use me to get to these famous folks but that’s a rant for another day. This is a groovy blog entry.
I feel groovy taking care of Caroline. Yes, she is not a perfect child, but she is my daughter and I will take the temper tantrums with the hugs and kisses. She puts me into my groove space with a smile.
I have a very groovy husband and stepdaughters too. Gwen! and Shana’s fashion sense is very groovy and they pull it off very well. Ariel’s love of reading is groovy. She reads for fun which can be rare in her age group. Peter is groovy in a way that only Peter David can be groovy. If you have met him, you know what I am talking about.
I notice that most of the things I find groovy, I also find fun. Which is fine. Groovy is fun.
I am very grateful for all the grooviness in my life.
