Feeling a bit fragile today.
Since seeing the Saw Doctors not so long ago, Barry and I have been listening to their music, mostly in the car.....I love this song and it's clever use of words....when we are having a hard time we told each other that we should say 'It's time to sing a powerful song!'......sometimes we forget but it seemed appropriate today....
When the troubles of the whole wide world 
Come knocking on your door 
And there's problems of a different kind 
That you've never had before 
When you've played against a gale force wind 
And it changes at half time 
And you feel your strength deserting you 
And an emptiness inside 
When there's people that will harm you 
Though you've done to them no wrong 
It time to sing , it's time to sing , to sing a powerful song 
When they want to ruin your province 
Just turn it into gold 
When they think our greatest asset 
Can be mined dug up and sold 
When the factories are all closing 
As they are in our home town 
And your friends are looking out for work 
That's nowhere to be found 
When the sprits they need a risn' 
To be happy proud and strong 
It time to sing , it's time to sing , to sing a powerful song 
(The Saw Doctors 1991)

Those are great lyrics!
I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling so fragile today, I know that feeling well. Keep singing. I'll keep you close in my thoughts and send you the very best, and hope 'it' goes on its way.
Could you get the dancing kites to run?
Glad to have been a much needed distraction....;^)
