"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it." - Groucho Marx (1890-1977)
9 years ago, this was the "morning after" the events of 9/11/2001. The sun did come back up, the birds sang, and life resumed - although we would never be the same again. I dedicate this Blog post to the families of the victims of 9/11 (and my fellow citizens of the USA); may we all continue to heal in our own way, and may God Bless each and every one of us. Thank you, Groucho, for that wonderful quote. I am closing this Blog post with the words of the song "The Morning After" - sang by Maureen McGovern (#1 on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart for 2 weeks in August 1973 and #28 for the entire year of '73) from the movie "The Poseidon Adventure" (song written by All Kasha and Joel Hirshborn - 1973) . . .
There's got to be a morning after
If we can hold on through the night
We have a chance to find the sunshine
Let's keep on lookin' for the light
Oh, can't you see the morning after
It's waiting right outside the storm
Why don't we cross the bridge together
And find a place that's safe and warm
It's not too late, we should be giving
Only with love can we climb
It's not too late, not while we're living
Let's put our hands out in time
There's got to be a morning after
We're moving closer to the shore
I know we'll be there by tomorrow
And we'll escape the darkness
We won't be searchin' any more
There's got to be a morning after
(There's got to be a morning after)
There's got to be a morning after
(There's got to be a morning after)
There's got to be a morning after
(There's got to be a morning after)
There's got to be a morning after
(There's got to be a morning after)
There's got to be a morning after
[Fade]
(There's got to be a morning after)
Think about it . . .
