Today is January 30th, so this is the 30th prompt for Just Jot it January 2022, and it’s brought to us by Jenny. Thank you, Jenny! Please be sure to visit her blog to read her post and say hello. And follow her while you’re there, if you’re not already.
Your prompt for JusJoJan January 30th, 2022, is “prepare.” Use the word “prepare” any way you’d like. Enjoy!
How do you prepare for anything? Do you face it full on or duck and spin. Do you make notes all neat and tidy Or chase your tail Monday to Friday Do you prepare with great plans Or leave it all in God’s good hands. Do you prepare with great care With all things equal and full of flare.
I am sorry to say I have missed a lot of prompts since the 19th but its been a nightmare here but I am back just in time to reach the finish line with everyone else .
It’s Sunday and time for Jim Adams to give us this week’s prompt for Song Lyric Sunday. This week we are to pick songs from the Movies that were also chart hits.
There are so many to choose from so I decided to go for my favourite genre fantasy and sifi.
“Elastic Heart” is a song by Australian singer Sia, featuring Canadian singer-songwriter the Weeknd and US record producer Diplo, taken from the soundtrack for the film The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, based on the novel of the same name by Suzanne Collins. Andrew Swanson assisted the artists in writing the song, with production handled by Diplo and US producer Greg Kurstin. It was released on 1 October 2013 as a single from Catching Fire by RCA, Republic and Lionsgate. “Elastic Heart” peaked at number 7 on the singles chart of New Zealand and was certified gold by the Recorded Music NZ. It also appeared on the charts of Australia, Belgium, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
And another one bites the dust Oh, why can I not conquer love? And I might have thought that we were one Wanted to fight this war without weaponsAnd I wanted it, I wanted it bad But there were so many red flags Now another one bites the dust Yeah, let’s be clear I’ll trust no oneYou did not break me I’m still fighting for peaceI’ve got thick skin and an elastic heart But your blade it might be too sharp I’m like a rubber band until you pull too hard I may snap and I move fast But you won’t see me fall apart Cos I’ve got an elastic heartI’ve got an elastic heart Yeah, I’ve got an elastic heartAnd I will stay up through the night Let’s be clear won’t close my eyes And I know that I can survive I’ll walk through fire to save my lifeAnd I want it, I want my life so bad I’m doing everything I can Then another one bites the dust It’s hard to lose a chosen oneYou did not break me I’m still fighting for peaceI’ve got thick skin and an elastic heart But your blade it might be too sharp I’m like a rubber band until you pull too hard I may snap and I move fast But you won’t see me fall apart Cos I’ve got an elastic heartI’ve got thick skin and an elastic heart But your blade it might be too sharp I’m like a rubber band until you pull too hard I may snap and I move fast But you won’t see me fall apart Cos I’ve got an elastic heartI’ve got thick skin and an elastic heart But your blade it might be too sharp I’m like a rubber band until you pull too hard I may snap and I move fast But you won’t see me fall apart Cos I’ve got an elastic heartI’ve got an elastic heart.Source: MusixmatchSongwriters: Sia Furler / Thomas Wesley Pentz / Abel Tesfaye / Andrew Swanson

Secondly
The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven fantasy novels by British author C. S. Lewis. Illustrated by Pauline Baynes and originally published between 1950 and 1956, The Chronicles of Narnia has been adapted for radio, television, the stage, film and computer games. The series is set in the fictional realm of Narnia, a fantasy world of magic, mythical beasts and talking animals. It narrates the adventures of various children who play central roles in the unfolding history of the Narnian world. Except in The Horse and His Boy, the protagonists are all children from the real world who are magically transported to Narnia, where they are sometimes called upon by the lion Aslan to protect Narnia from evil. The books span the entire history of Narnia, from its creation in The Magician’s Nephew to its eventual destruction in The Last Battle.
The music of the Chronicles of Narnia film series was recorded and released in conjunction with the post-production and releases of each of the three corresponding films. Harry Gregson-Williams, composer of the first two films and creator of main theme of series.
Gregson-Williams co-wrote a song with Imogen Heap, “Can’t Take It In”, which Heap recorded for the soundtrack. Originally, Dido submitted a song for the soundtrack, but it was considered unsatisfactory. Imogen was approached after a suggestion from the soundtrack’s supervisor, who managed a band with whom she had toured. The song was written, recorded, produced and mixed in a week; Heap said she needed “like a year more than I got” and considered the experience of handing in the song an hour after completing it “pretty scary”. According to her, the creation of the song was difficult because The Chronicles of Narnia is a family film, so she “had to be quite descriptive and not too electronic” when making the song.
Can’t close my eyes They’re wide awake Every hair on my body Has got a thing for this place Oh, empty my heart I’ve got to make room For this feelingIt’s so much bigger than meIt couldn’t be any more beautiful I can’t take it inWeightless in love, unraveling For all that’s to come And all that’s ever been We’re back to the board With every shade under the sun Let’s make it a good oneIt couldn’t be any more beautiful It couldn’t be any more beautiful I can’t take it in I can’t take it in I can’t take it in WhoaIt couldn’t be any more beautiful It couldn’t be any more beautiful I can’t take it in More that I wonder More that I wonderSource: MusixmatchSongwriters: Heap Imogen Jennifer
The day we met, Frozen I held my breath Right from the start I knew that I’d found a home for my heart Beats fast Colors and promises How to be brave? How can I love when I’m afraid to fall But watching you stand alone? All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehowOne step closer I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I’ll love you for a thousand moreTime stands still Beauty in all she is I will be brave I will not let anything take away What’s standing in front of me Every breath Every hour has come to thisOne step closer I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I’ll love you for a thousand moreAnd all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I’ll love you for a thousand moreI’ll love you for a thousand more OhhOne step closer I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I’ll love you for a thousand moreAnd all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I’ll love you for a thousand moreSource: LyricFindSongwriters: Christina Perri / David Hodges

I been unwell and it’s good to be on the mend. HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE 💜
Hello everyone and I do mean all of you who are kind enough to allow me to visit and who are always so welcoming when I visit you .
Yet again I have had to just empty my inbox and that breaks my heart because I know I will have missed so many beautiful, insughtful , happy, sad, let’s face it the whole gambit of blogging. Sorry but it had to be done so I can start afresh and not drown!
because I miss you
As I said in my previous posts things here have been hard. All through December we nursed Ruby, she had cancer , firstly daily visits to the Vetinary Hospital for wound dressing, then we needed to change the dressing ourselves twice a day and sleep down stairs with her for over a month. Then just as she was improving I had a P. V.D. you can read about that here.
As if that wasn’t enough Ms Ruby collapsed in the garden one morning and could not even stand for 24hrs that was due to Vestibular Disease which meant for a few days we had to carry her out to the garden for a wee and a pooh! This lasted a few days , she is better now but still very unsteady….we call her the drunken sailor. This also meant more time sleeping downstairs with her in turns!
Finally on the 19th January I had to stop blogging because hubby and I both developed chest infections, necessitating antibiotics. Unfortunately after three days I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics and had to go to A&E. Long story short I was put on a 4 day course of high dose Prednisolone Steroids and Antihistamine tablets. The next day I was worse but by the third day things were improving.
I am now allergic to four types of antibiotics! Below my latest allergic reaction… I was covered in this!
Anyway, touch wood, fingers crossed we seem to be improving so I am tentatively back , I still have funny eyes from the P.V.D. and a cold and a wobbly dog and coughing hubby but hopefully I am back .
Oh! Just for good measure WordPress decided to suspend my blog on Friday, saying I had contravened their terms and conditions? Luckily after I appealled by three different methods I got an email saying I had a fortnight to remove all my work of ten years or lose it! I wrote again protesting my innocence finally I got another email saying they had re viewed my sight and the suspension had been lifted. Phew!! Thanks to Ritu for listening to me and helping.
