Grumbling

I'm in love with living
Am I the only one?
Hear a lot of grumbling
Negativity by the ton

Hey there all you people
Stop and listen up 
Attitude's the real key
So fill your lovin' cup

I'm in love with living 
Am I the only one?
Grumbling ain't the answer
You miss out on the fun

We're all in this together 
So let's not mess it up
Happiness is totally free
So fill your lovin' cup

The only grumbling I get here is when I won't let the Trolls play in the Playground with the other children... LOL... My Hubby did fuss at me tho. One of my dogs had emergency surgery and isn't allowed to climb stairs. We put up a gate to stop him(which everyone keeps stepping over). I tried to step over it, too... Guess what... hurt my foot (slightly) and landed on my bum... I laughed when I realized no new injuries, but Hubby wasn't amused... I'm always falling. I should know better. LOL

This is so very true my friend, what a testament to life and love! You have brought me another smile for today Jack and I love it when you do so! I need all the smiles that I can get, we all do, but I do have a lot in reserve, to share if need be! I really loved reading this amazing poem this morning, what a delightful piece, Great Work!!
