Clay Aiken Magic Moments

What is a "Magic Moment"?

A magic moment is formed in our memories from many sources, such as family events, friends, a trip, the wonders of Mother Nature and so on. A person makes them for us when they say or do something to capture our attention. It may make you laugh, cry, applaud and has your total focus. Magic moments are captured in photographs, videos, books, song and of course, in our minds to keep forever.

The past six plus years a talented young singer named Clay Aiken has opened a whole new chapter in my book of magic moments. Here are a few of them.

Maybe they are in your magic moment memory book too.

This Magic Moment ~ Because You Love Me

Clay's This Magic Moment clips in the montage above are from the 2004 guest appearance on ED. A number of visitors have written they hadn't seen this show, so here's the Clay parts.

Thanks Sue!

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the best of everything they have.

Thank you for joining me in a few of my Clay Aiken magic moments--they are fun until he builds new ones--and I know they will be awesome!

Clay Aiken - On The Wings of Love
beautiful montage thanks to SueReu

My Dad passed away years ago. I always remember what a wonderful Dad and caring man he was. I often sense his presence around me, encouraging and supporting as he always did.
My Dad loved children, music and dancing. His wish was not to be mourned, but remembered with a smile--I certainly do that.
Happy Father's Day Dad.

I know he would have been a fan of Clay, and his music!

Clay Aiken: You Ought to Be in Pictures

May your troubles be less,
your blessings be more
and nothing but happiness
come through your door!

Something I noticed on my first few sightings of Clay Aiken, other than THAT VOICE, was his photogenic features. No matter what direction he was turned, the camera showed a real cute guy. First I was quite taken with his nose, then it wasn’t long before those green eyes and THAT LOOK! After 6 plus years of seeing hundreds, make that thousands of photographs and videos, I’ve watched the cute guy morph into a totally handsome man.

So, yes, Clay fits the saying of “you ought to be in pictures” perfectly. I am happy he is in a lot of pictures and so is my computer dealer--I've upgraded three times since 2003!

Video time - a new one of Clay’s When You Say You Love Me and the beautiful Right Here Waiting.

When You Say You Love Me

Right Here Waiting-Clay Aiken

Just because story :)

This story is said to be true, it’s sweet whether it is or not.

Golden Years Love

Bernice and Rich of California are 95 and were recently married. They exchanged wedding vows in the same church where they met.

Both were widowed but had enjoyed long marriages. Each had been married over 60 years and raised five children.

When they met, Rich was immediately smitten, but it took Bernice a few months to realize she’d fallen in love again.

Before agreeing to marry Rich, she asked her kids for advice, telling them she had already “had it all and why should she do it again?”

Her son replied, “Well, what’s wrong with having more?”

Clay Aiken Keeping the Home Fires Burning

A prayer to start the day!

Clay Aiken is busy (likely planning surprises for us!), so until we hear from him we keep the home fires burning by searching, visiting links to Clay fan blogs, watching lots of YouTubes, and reviewing all the clack on our computers.

Today's blog has a video and pictures remembering the Jukebox Tour. Then a quick hop through the past few years of Clay up until last month.
Bsrefong has given us a new Clay Crossword too..test your knowledge of Dancing!
