"Come From Away" has uplifted me


As I began my day in the chill of our condo, yes the cold air is down south too this a.m., I read with interest a favourite blog of mine written by one of my beloved writing coaches Anne Day. Her most recent post today started my thoughts running and I too ran to the computer to put my thoughts into words this morning.
 As Anne writes, “….take away the cloud of hesitancy and fear”, my morning thoughts turn then to the news today that our own Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended the New York Broadway Play “Come from Away” the heartwarming story, turned musical of the outpouring of love from my fellow Canadians to all those from across the world who spent some time in Gander, Newfoundland post 9/11. This story made my cloud lift.
Other words Anne quotes from Jini Reddy, " The world can feel very divided at the moment which is all the more reason to celebrate our shared humanity" Wow, this play is just that, a wonderful celebration of our shared humanity.
Maybe these goosebumps I have this morning are more about the news from New York’s Broadway and not about the cold weather.
