Well, I haven’t written on here in years and last night, while dancing around our kitchen with my 14 year old while listening to music and making supper, I was inspired to write again. Here in Costa Rica we are all hunkered down in our houses and trying to keep things as clean as possible while dealing with water rationing thanks to it being late summer and super dry. This coronavirus is presenting its challenges, but I must say Costa Rica has remained calm and people here are tough and positive. It is a unique time in our world… we are all focused on and going through the same protocols, however, not all of our situations look the same. But it is world wide.
So what does cooking, music and dancing have to do with all this you ask? Well Spotify, we don’t have English radio I like here so we listen to Spotify, randomly threw in this version of song last night…
Tomorrow by Post Modern Jukebox
Click on it and listen to the whole song…. in that moment I was immediately this little girl again…..
Yep… I was 5 year old me again with my sister sitting in front of our big box TV, it is the early 80s and we are watching Annie any time the TV stations would air it…. you remember how it was… back before Netflix and even Blockbuster! My little curly red headed self loved Annie. And not because I was equally as cute as her….
But Annie was spunky. She’d had a hard life and yet she always was positive and speaking up for those with no voice. She helped everyone around her, even sometimes at her own expense.
Hmmmm…. I’m thinking I did not realize until now how much of her I have in me….
But my favorite part of the movie was this song…. And how appropriate and encouraging it can be for us today.
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There’ll be sun
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs, and the sorrow
‘Til there’s none
That’s gray, and lonely
I just stick out my chin
And grin, and say, oh
So ya gotta hang on’til tomorrow
Come what may
I love ya
Tomorrow
I love this! Positive, upbeat, and faith filled! I wish everyone would/could adopt your attitude.
I really needed this today, all the positivity. I loved it, especially the part about your spunky self. It reminded me of my sister. Be safe and prayers of health. Allie
Thank you for the encouragement and challenge! Prayers for all of you!
