Day 54 3/6/08 It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day

The chorus of Neil Finn’s I Can See Clearly now echoes in my head today as I approach the bed. I’m going to conquer bed making in the morning today. I’m going to tame the sheets and domesticate the comforter, all before noon. I walk into the dark room and immediately open the blinds. Shades of grey lift tenfold and the room is transformed. A shallow and fading cast of shade just across the bed gives light on the north way. I am immediately prompted to walk through the rest of the house and open all remaining blinds. I can’t fight the sun. I can’t fight the day. It is seeping in through the one inch fold of the faux wooden blinds. I am letting sun and positively saturate my house and my mood today. Then the song pops in my head and I walk upstairs humming it. I don’t hum, what’s going on?

I can see clearly now the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way,
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind.
'cuz It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.
'cuz It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.

I think I can make it now the pain is gone,
And all of the bad feelings have disappeared,
Here is the rainbow I've been praying for.
'cuz It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.

Look all around, nothing but blue skies.
Look straight ahead, nothing but blue skies.

I can see clearly now the rain is gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind.
'cuz It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.
'cuz It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.
'cuz It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day. (Neil Finn)

‘cuz It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright), job finding day.
