Lotta Love

I have to admit, I was really tired, depressed, and sad on the 314th day of 2016.  11/9/2016 started off, at 2AM, watching the returns and going to bed thinking that the impossible had happened.  And, I awoke this morning to find that it had.  And I was grumpy today at work, many were.  And it was really hard to be on Facebook today, but I did it and I did it without succumbing to anger or hate as a reaction to what I was seeing and feeling.  And then, grumpily driving home (actually stuck in traffic) in a very rainy, slow rush hour, a friend suggested I listen to music to make me happy (I still had the news on from this morning).  And, you know what?  Sometimes God speaks through music (He often does).  And, tonight was no exception.  This Nicolette Larson song came on (I had always known this song, but only now know of Nicolette Larson) and her lyrics are perfect for tonight:

"It's gonna take a lotta love
To change the way things are.
It's gonna take a lotta love
Or we won't get too far
So if you look in my direction
And we don't see eye to eye,
My heart needs protection and so do I.

It's gonna take a lotta love
To get us thru the night.
It's gonna take a lotta love
To make things work out right.
So if you are out there waitin'
I hope you show up soon,
'Cause my heart needs relating not solitude."
