Live Love Laugh and Be Happy

The world needs a whole lot more love and laughter Spread it around every chance you get Whether it's a waitress in a restaurant Or the cashier at the local supermarket Or a helpful teller in your local bank We must always try to brighten their day with humour Or some friendly chitchat and a happy face It really doesn't take much Just a smile and utter a cheery, “How's your day?” The reaction will be worth the small effort In return, it will make YOUR day better too! If more people would do this instead of grumbling And complaining about this and that Guess it's human nature, but rise above it We're only on this earth for a very short while So live, love, laugh and be happy... It's contagious! © Jack Ellison 2014

Isn't that the truth!!! Dragon says hi! He's been keeping his head low. He doesn't like our community right now. We'll bounce back. Note, in all the time of rioting, Obama has said NOTHING! They say he called our Governor and said NOT to deploy the National Guard the night Ferguson burned. Our city leaders were SCREAMING for help. The Governor wouldn't answer the calls until 3:30 in the morning when 17 stores were already on fire... Sorry. All this has my attention right now. This too will pass.
