Upbeat Stuff

I prefer to be positive, write upbeat stuff, But sometimes life seems doom and gloom You should tell me when you’ve had enough I prefer to be positive, write upbeat stuff. After all, as an old bird, I can be mighty tough Even when the road gets rocky and rough, I prefer to be positive, write upbeat stuff But, sometimes life seems doom and gloom. written April 21, 2022

Gloom and doom makes a great poem too though.

I suppose so, but I've never been one to wallow in it. I have my days, to be sure.

Milt, just think of those days when even short-lived moments seemed glorious, that should give you a bit of a lift. Float away!!...ab

You're right, Anselmo. That was a long, long time ago, but I still remember. Thanks!

Bad news does bring you down sometimes, watching the news lately is so depressing. Dispite that it's still a wonderful world and we just have to accept that we cannot change things. Tom

Absolutely, Tom, and I find that a very positive approach. I've pretty much given up watching the news because I can't change anything and I'm not going to get down in the dirt with people I don't care to deal with.
