We need not dwell on the kind of year 2020 has been for so many folks. With Covid and its associated job and economic losses, many of us are stressed, depressed and wondering where to find a little inspiration.
The thing is, inspiration can come from some amazing sources.
Some time ago, I remember hearing of Pluto TV around the same time I heard of Sling, Philo, Fubu, etc. I never got around to investigating it until I got an email from Roku (I have Roku on both TVs). They couldn't wait to tell me about Pluto TV, and all the lovely movies, shows and dedicated channels it has. And it's free! Great price, especially in a pandemic year. So, needless to say, Pluto has gotten a lot of play on my TV this past month or so.
Investigating, I found, among many things, the 1994 Party Of Five, some cool (did I mention free?) movies, and dedicated channels for Love Boat, Bob Ross' The Joy Of Painting, Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack, and All In The Family shares time on the One Day At A Time Channel.
Well, I know part of the current flurry of reboots is the recently-cancelled Latinx version of ODAAT. I've never seen it. But I grew up with the 70's version, with the incomparable Bonnie Franklin, Pat Harrington, Mackenzie Phillips and Valerie Bertinelli. And that catchy theme.
Well, that catchy theme is good advice for a year like 2020, and maybe the foreseeable 2021, too. I've thought about it, and I've decided starting the day with that theme is a real healthy, helpful way to go:
This is it.
This is life, the one you get, so go and have a ball!
This is it, straight ahead, and rest assured, you can't be sure at all.
So while you're here, enjoy the view, keep on doing what you do.
Just hold on tight, we'll muddle through, one day at a time.
So, up on your feet!
Somewhere there's music playin'.
Don't you worry none.
We'll just take it like it comes.
One day at a time.
One day at a time.
One day at a time.
One day at a time.
One day at a time!
Go on, sing along -- you know you wanna!
Happy 2021!
