KEEP ON THE SUNNY SIDE

I have been singing this chorus for days. "Keep on the Sunny side." Life just goes better if we walk on the sunny side. Rain comes, troubles come but we can make it sunny if we try.We all like to be around happy people. It makes us feel better. As silly as it seems, as simple. Life goes better with a smile.

We all have days when we wake up that we would like to just call life and cancel the day. Nothing goes right. Then you get started late for work. Someone cuts you off in traffic. You call the guy a bad name. Holler it in fact. You sure don't feel like singing that old song, "Keep on the sunny side." In fact sometimes we kind of take pleasure in being miserable. They say a smile is contagious. Well having a bad day can be contagious too. its like if we are miserable, we'd like at least for part of the world to be miserable too.

But after you have slammed around all day, frowned a lot, snapped at people. You stop at the store. Long line, yeah right, what else could you expect. You stand there muttering under your breath and then look at the woman in front of you. She has a cart. There is a little child sitting in the seat. He peers around his Mom at you. He ducks back. He looks again and then he smiles. And in spite of your terrible day, you smile back. Keep on the sunny side.

I basically think mentally we choose what kind of day we are going to have when we crawl out of bed. We without realizing it sometimes choose if our day is going to be good or suck. I think that's called attuide. Kind of Corny but very simple. Just choosing to have a wonderful day in spite of whatever comes at you. Just a smile can sometimes make all the difference in how anothers day may turn out. Your smile may be the very act that will keep someone from despair. Keep on the sunny side.

This hasn't made much sense today. But just remember the child in the grocery store. A smile can make all the difference. The chorus to that song. It was sang by the Carter Family.

"Keep on the sunny side
Always on the sunny side.
Keep on the sunny side of life.
It will brighten up your day,
It will help you on your way,
Just keep on the sunny side of life."
