Be-Bop and Blue Skies

A smile's a transformer
  It changes your day
To be-bop and blue skies
  from downcast and gray

So turn off the gloom
  and switch on a grin
A good mood's contagious
  ~ Laughter its twin

People seem unaware that this is a possibility "So turn off the gloom and switch on a grin" and yet some of us live this way daily.

We need more people like this in our lives, I know of someone living somewhat close to us, who pretends she has blinkers on so that she doesn't have to be pleasant to anyone, such a sad individual! Great write, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I thought they only put blinders on horses. I guess your quasi-neighbor must be a 'filly.' Thanks for sharing, Jennifer. :) gw
