I can't get it out of my head...

I can't get the song out of my head and when I do it's just as quickly replaced with another. Show tunes - from The Sound of Music, or My Fair Lady or Singin' in the Rain or Holiday Inn or ????

I wake in the night to turn over and there one is...still. I go back to sleep and it becomes part of my dream - there I am waltzing down the yellow brick road brushing straw off my sleeve.

Doing the dishes I find myself humming, "I Could Have Danced All Night' while not dancing at all. Sometimes I just have to let it out and have many times picked up the cat, swung him around my livingroom cum dance floor and belted out, "You Were Meant For Me." Being a ragdoll, he loves it. In fact when we're done spinning, he saunters away happily while I have to sit on the arm of the couch until the room stops spinning.

The other day I was humming, "Wouldn't it be Loverly", and found myself in the storeroom rummaging around for, '...lots of choc'lit for me to eat..."
thereby proving the old adage about how powerful music can be!

I find myself searching Kijiji for tap shoes while "Singing in the Rain" runs through my brain. I wonder if the diningroom wall would take the weight of me running up it as Donald O'Conner does in "Make,'em Laugh" and if it didn't hold up, what on earth would I tell Bernard caused the mess???

I seriously need help. I can't seem to sleep at night. It seems much more fun to stay up doing things so I can greet the dawn with "Good morning, good morning, it's great to stay up late, good morning, good morning to you!" while balancing with one foot on the cushions of the couch and one foot on the backpiece just 'this' far away from having the nerve to tip it on it's back in a magnificent dance move.

Yikes... someone help me before I wreck the place - but only if you can sing your way to "The Street where [I] Live!"

Strength in the Face of Adversity

The Japanese people are one of the strongest when it comes to determination and perserverance. Though I can't believe how much my heart aches for them in this time of horrendous calamity, I have faith that their resilience will lead them to recovery.

I know all things are in the Lord's hands and that this disaster did not take Him by surprise. ' ... and not one of them shall fall on the ground...' but that He knows it. Matthew 10:29

Nevertheless, we are His hands, feet, eyes, ears and hearts and so we must do all we can to help. Prayer is a good place to start. Then we will receive direction on how best to help. Until Japan can tell us what they need we can't do a lot - but we can prepare. Everyone needs food, warmth, clothing and housing to begin with. I will donate through my church. Please help any way you can. Every little bit turns into a collective big bit.
