Yesterday I sat down to share my thoughts about the celebrations for Jamaica’s 50th year of independence. Despite saving throughout, Word crashed as I was about to print for a final edit. When I restarted Word and opened the file the ready-for-editing version wasn’t there and Auto Recovery couldn’t open its last saved version. So I was annoyed and decided to step away from the computer and restart today; I still had my notes and the framework in mind.
This is a heartfelt blog post from a Jamaican woman living overseas that I really wanted to share. This is an issue that I have touched on in earlier blog posts. I find myself agreeing with CucumberJuice... See what you think.
Will read it. Happy Independence Day!
Thanks so much, my dear. Independence Day is August 6 but we are not “feeling the vibe” as Jamaicans would say, right now!
I hear you and understandably… same issue on the African continent too…
Oh, what a shame. Trinidad is celebrating its 50th this year too, don’t know how that is going…
I just read that post and left a comment too. I agree with all of you and hope things will brighten by August. Maybe they’ll add something more to the song or work on some new ones. TY!
Thank you Elizabeth. I really do hope that they will “wheel and come again” to use a Jamaican expression – a rethink is needed!
Amen and it is my prayer too in all the parts of the world where much rethinking is needed. TY!
