Lesson 640: Simple Terms

Hello, Readers.

Greetings from the Lamp Post

at the ending of a dark, April week.

To put it in simple terms,

this week was deflating.

The weather didn't help things out much in Erie.

It's like it snowed on the float preparations

for the Easter Parade.

But there will be no Easter parades this year,

or church services,

or egg hunts.

Everyone is feeling a little down.

To add insult to the icy injury,

the Pennsylvania Governor closed schools 

for the remainder of the school year.

I can't say that I hadn't thought of this happening,

but I didn't expect it when the announcement came.

It hit Sammy and I hard.

I could have cried all day

if I would have allowed myself.

To put it simply,

GET MOVING, ELOISE!

We went for a walk

right when the clouds parted.

GET MOVING

is one of the simple things that help

me motor through the tough times.

Lesson of the week:

Simple phrases repeated over and over

are mantras.

I think lots of mantras will be attached

to the year 2020.

Who better to help us learn them

than my dear friends the birds?

In Eloise's simplest terms:

Be the Light.

For your song selection tonight,

I could only choose my new favorite song.

All of the greats are in it:

Thomas Rhett

Reba Mcentire

Hillary Scott

Chris Tomlin

Be A Light.

This song came along

at just the right time.

Here is the video.

And here is his live performance

from the ACM's on Sunday.

See you next Friday,

Eloise
