I wrote this post prior to my recent hospital stay.
Early morning and I am drinking coffee.
The lights are dim, just the way I like it in the mornings before others have awaken.
The body pain is a little stronger this morning than usual.
And then a song pops in my head.
And I remember the words and the music and I sing a portion of it in my head.
Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child
Things’ll get brighter
Ooh-oo child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child
Things’ll get brighter
Some day, yeah
We’ll get it together and we’ll get it all done
Some day
When your head is much lighter
My mornings are usually the same; wake in pain, about a level 5, drink coffee in silence to reflect and ponder about myself, my cancer, my life and my upcoming day.
This particular morning as I was doing my usual morning routine, a song popped in my head for a reason.
Was someone or something sending me a reminder?
That morning, a song that popped in my head is O-O-H CHILD by The Five Stairsteps
It is a good reminder for me and I think maybe a good reminder for the world we live in.
I LOVE that song! 🙂

Hope you’re having a good day Terry. I also love mornings before everyone’s awake. It’s so quiet and I have time to think and/or read. I must listen to that song now 🙂 x

Isn’t it amazing how ‘out of the blue’ a song will pop into one’s head 🙂 Then having the words of the song take over one’s mind, in a way which can be related to oneself, is incredible. Those words, are positive. I wish you well my friend, and a pain free, relaxed weekend. Thinking of you. Hugs 🙂 x

It is amazing Lynne, very odd in a way that particular morning that song was just there for me. I am a little better, I hope to publish an updated post soon, I have fallen behind on everything and having a difficult time catching up. I appreciate your thoughts and hugs. 🙂

I am glad you are little better 🙂 Don’t stress too much, it is understandable that you have fallen behind on things….when you catch up, you catch up. It will happen. Rest….your health is more important. 🙂 x

The subconscious is an immensely wondrous thing. I think yours was telling your something in the way it knew you would listen …. through the music you love so much. I hope your day is a little better. I know you will be deaf to my plea but how about drawing a line under all the things you think you need to catch up on and starting afresh. Don’t worry about anything left unanswered or the things you thought you wanted or needed to post. Just press reset and go from there. I worry about you worrying … this is not good!!
