Flashback to Hope

This was originally posted on 7/25/2019 as A Change is Gonna Come (Hopefully).

I’ve been WP MIA for a couple of weeks. Between the heat and the constant rain and the general state of our world, I’ve been uninspired or depressed or lethargic. “Whatever” has been my go-to feeling of late. Ugh. But I’m trying to lift myself out of it. So thanks to  Sue’s beautiful photo challenge for giving me a hopeful image to go along with the spark of hope coming out of Puerto Rico.

I’ll leave you with my title inspiration-Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come.”

Peace.
