Your Face Won'T Crack

Woke up this morning to brilliant sunshine What a way to start the day My spirits couldn't be higher Old Mister Sol and I go back a way When he drops by, can't wipe off this grin From my very ancient mug Amazing how Sol can affect our moods As we wipe the sleep from our eyes Only happy thoughts fill our brains Could have just lost a bunch on the markets But we pick ourselves up Dust ourselves off And look forward to a brand new day A day filled with promise and opportunity So grab the brass ring And hang on for dear life There's bound to be good stuff just ahead Yes life is what you make it, my friends So smile damn it...

You put a smile on my face as old man winter throws us one more weak punch before he crawls away.

Oh, how I long for that sun! It's raining... Again! 1/2 the country's in a drought and we're sogging away. But no major cold has come our way... So Dragon, Hubby, Grandpa Troll and I are singing in the rain! Happy Dance included! Hey Dragon! You're sinking in the mud again... Come here and dance on the Patio!
