I was late to sleep and awake earlier than desired but couldn't get back to sleep so tired and semi-cranky were the words of the day. The day was overcast -- bits of light rain. I headed out to three stores for small errands. I still have to look online for a couple items that weren't in the earlier store visits. Hoping the colours and sizes are there. Later I picked up groceries curbside and still had to go inside to return a substituted item that I had noted in the order should not be used. <sigh> It began to rain as I headed home from that return trip. It poured heavily for the last two blocks and lightened up marginally for my run to the front door.
The mugginess didn't help me feel any more alert or perky today. We are to have a couple of days with drier air and slightly cooler temperatures. I hope it will help with sleeping and feeling refreshed -- both much needed. Today I had conversations with friends and a family member who helped me to see the hope rather than only the doom and gloom scenarios <smile>. It reminded me of a song that I heard many times before I knew what the Italian words meant. I share it here tonight for the positive vision of the future that the lyrics present.The artists have fun with this one, which helps with the upbeat messaging. <smile> The English translation is below the link provided here. Keep safe. Enjoy!
O Sole Mio -- Pavarotti, Carreras, & Domingo
What a wonderful thing a sunny day
The serene air after a thunderstorm
The fresh air, and a party is already going on…
What a wonderful thing a sunny day.
But another sun,
that’s brighter still
It’s my own sun
that’s in your face!
The sun, my own sun
It’s in your face!
It’s in your face!
When night comes and the sun has gone down,
I start feeling blue;
I’d stay below your window
When night comes and the sun has gone down.
But another sun,
that’s brighter still
It’s my own sun
that’s in your face!
The sun, my own sun
It’s in your face!
It’s in your face!
