I Can See Clearly Now

Nothing like a bit of music to beat the blues. When I finally was able to contact my sister, who spent two nights this week in a flood evacuation centre, she told me they sang "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine" to keep their spirits up.

Hopefully today they can sing the old Johnny Nash classic "I can see clearly now the rain has gone". I cranked up the Hothouse Flowers version over breakfast and felt a whole lot better.

"I can see clearly now the rain has gone

I can see all obstacles in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It's gonna be a bright, bright

Sun-shiney day"

from "I can see clearly now" Johnny Nash 1972

No matter whether you are in the brine or cleaning up out in the bush or the 'burbs, I hope you have a bright, bright, sun-shiney weekend.
