Still Full of Beans

Feel like singing a happy song And if you'll allow me to bend your ear I don't mean literally of course That could be physically quite painful At my age, my mind is still clicking along Had envisioned when I was younger That when I reached this ripe old age Things would start to erode and shut down Not true... how wrong was I, still full of beans Still wake each morning with a smile on my face Thought at one time everybody did But I may be more unique than I imagined Perhaps it's in our genes, it's not a choice Though we can still make a conscious effort I've always had a positive outlook Sure can count my lucky stars If I can help any of you guys to feel like this Then I've accomplished something amazing Wrapping it all up with two simple words... THINK POSITIVE!

POSITIELY good advice Jack. If I cant look around and find something to make me feel glad,, I would be sad,, but that just never happens. I just look out the window to see, a flower, a tree, a child a bird a fluffy white cloud, a breeze to clear the air or the rain coming down to make everything grow. If none of these are there, I always know, to soup I go, back along the track to find a poem by Happy Jack
