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
