CABIN FEVER

Another snowstorm quickly arrives and we prepare to hunker down, watch the snow, and read a good book. With no intention of approaching the shoveling till tomorrow, my cat Zena is giving me reading suggestions. Her feline ego is showing its face and she stays near to grab all my attention.  The local weather service has predicted 12”-18” of snow and I pray that the power stays on. I’ll cook some comfort food (lentil soup is on the menu tonight) and catch up on a few projects around the house. Before I settle down to read or write or give into the cravings of another creative journey, I must play with Zena who is suffering from "Cabin Fever". This is also a good time to reach out to family, a neighbor or call an old friend. Wishing everyone a safe arrival, wherever they go today.  

THE BEATLES

Oh, YESTERDAY

Was A HARD DAY’S NIGHT

When we sang our way

Through our young life

And the Beatles songs

Held so much meaning

Here we are, fifty years later, still singing

WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS,

I would like to GET BACK

And remember them again.

I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND

And travel ACROSS THE UNIVERSE

In STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER

With my RUBBER SOUL

Take you on a MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR

With SGT PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND

We’ll ride in a YELLOW SUBMARINE

Before we walk on ABBEY ROAD

And if I can’t remember any more,

Will you still need me, WHEN I’M SIXTY-FOUR

Or let me end it all now with ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC

And LET IT BE with a REVOLVER

Because HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN

And not necessarily in that order

Which brings me back to:

THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD

Where I can hear YOU SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION

But PLEASE PLEASE ME,

I know WE CAN WORK IT OUT

Let’s COME TOGETHER and HELP

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

ALL TOGETHER NOW,

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED!

P.S. I LOVE YOU
