ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET
Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street
Can’t you hear the pitter-pat?
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be complete
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade
with those blues on parade
But I’m not afraid because
this rover crossed over!
And if I never had a cent
I’d be rich as Rockefeller
With gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade
with those blues on parade
But I’m not afraid because
this rover crossed over!
And if I never had a cent
I’d be rich as Harry Belafonte
With Barry Goldwater at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
GOOD MORNING !
I’m trying to chase those winter blahs away and thinking only bright sunny thoughts today ! This time of year we often get bogged down with the weather and the lack of celebrations like we had during the Christmas Holidays or Valentines Day.
All of the sudden life may seem to look a little dull and shabby. I’ve come to believe that attitude means a lot and often I have to really pump myself up. I like to dwell on the lighter brighter side of things and count my many blessings.
The song above was in my trivia search for today so I Googled it to get the lyrics. It’s been sung by a lot of famous people and played by lots of wonderful orchestras. I suppose it was so popular because everyone would prefer the ‘sunny side’ .
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
God is His mercy looks down on us all,
And though what we’ve done is so pitifully small,
He makes us feel welcome to kneel down and pray
For the chance to do better as we start a new day.

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !

Now that the temperatures are getting above freezing every day, and the sun has chosen to show its face sometimes, I'm losing the winter blahs!
yup trying to keep postitve can be wonderful and yet hard to do. I sometimes like to watch a funny show when nothing else works. There are some people who are so jovial and funny I like to be around them. I envy them and wonder how they do it. they always seem happy. I do not wnat to be fake about it though. They just seem to be that way so naturally
You make me feel so much better in the mornings as you point me in the right direction.
We have Easter to look forward to for a celebration soon. Hope you have a good day.

On a very wet and miserable day today, my spirits were lifted by the sight of frothy white blossom in the local hedgerow. Spring is on its way - I hope!. Take care.

I agree about looking for the silver lining in every day. I believe every day is precious and whatever each day brings, I think I am so lucky to be living life! Hugs. Terry x
I see the words at the bottom of the song (names) are different than I recall. Always liked that old song. : )
