Himiko Kikuchi -- Everyday's a Miracle

 

The above shows some of us on Deck 16 of the Harmony of the Seas on the second morning of our cruise several years ago. It was a pleasant start to our first full day on the ship with a hearty breakfast to greet us.

Maybe this was a feeling that jazz musician and composer Himiko Kikuchi(菊池ひみこ)was having when she came up with the wonderfully breezy "Everyday's a Miracle" from her 1981 "Flashing" album. Ernie Watts was on the saxophone for this travel-friendly or brunch-friendly track that pretty much sounds how the title reads. It's like a glass of optimism for the weary soul. If every morning can be as positive, then life would be that much more pleasing.
