As we enter into one whole year of Covid lockdown, yep, can you believe it? I am constantly, like I have no doubt zillions in the world are, finding ways and means to get over the Covid blues, Covid exhaustion, Covid fatigue, whatever label you want to call it, but all I do know? It sucks!
Yes my mates, I am a total looking through rose coloured glasses, glass half full, super positive, self-motivated machine, but even me, well my glasses occasionally fade to black, the glass tips over and breaks, and the machine refuses to start in the mornings.
It's tough. I have, of course, like most of the planet that has internet access, fallen in love with what Netflix has to offer and the other day I was scrolling for a movie to help me overcome my blues and boom there she was, “Trolls”. Nothing like a bit of Dreamworks magic to lift you out of the doldrums, and I'm a sucker for a good old musical even if it's a cartoon with cute little people with superpower hair.
There are some great songs in Trolls, and I bet you're thinking that I will use those songs and lyrics to base this blog uplifting content on? Well yes, there are some great songs, like take a listen to “Get Back Up Again” and some of the words.
Looking up at a sunny sky, so shiny and blue and there's a butterfly
Well, isn't that a super fantastic sign
It's gonna be a fantastic day
And what about “Can't Stop The Feeling”
I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good song in my feet
Listening to those two songs alone would make an awesome blog and surely get you up dancing in your chair and casting off the face mask and screaming at the top of your lungs, “Covid ain't gonna get me down”.
Well yes, I did tap my feet and I was pretending I was Justin Timberlake dancing round the house, but the real message, the real breaker of the Covid blues?
