The Power of the Positive

The joy that other people possess Is well within our reach We're all made up of similar stuff I'm sure you've heard this speech Well my friends, in my experience It's a true and a provable fact The more you look on the bright side The more positive people react They observe your sunny outlook Wish they could feel that way too It doesn't take much effort Positive thinking rubs off on you Picture all that's right with the world Of the things that you possess Don't concentrate on the negatives That will only cause you stress Happiness is quite an infectious thing Belt out an old good times song Sooner or later believe me, folks People will start singing along It's really the power of positive thinking Happy always wins in the end It's a human thing, we're born to laugh So chuckle yourself silly, my friends © Jack Ellison 2014

Yep! With Dragon's fiery personality... It's his Happy, and smiley persona that wins him the day! And the fact that everyone's wondering just what he'll do next. And we ALL know there'll ALWAYS be a next time! Even Grandpa Troll isn't so frightening, cause he's always wearing a smile... Now I look grumpy. But that's just my made for radio face. It's said I'm really quite the charmer once you get to know me. That's so sweet. You and Cathie must be smiling all the time... Sic em tiger! LOL

With all the ugly stuff going on in the world, it's getting harder and harder to be positive... but the alternative ain't great either! Love ya dear friend! XOXOX
