Premium Member Chuckles, Giggles, and Guffaws

Chuckles, giggles and guffaws
That's the only way to fly
Find silliness in all everyday things
Tears of joy will fill your eyes

In fact if you're not careful
You'll infect your fellow man
Before you can say "pink panties"
Lunies will be running the land

Now wait a minute let me see
They already are I'm afraid
They resemble a flock of turkeys
Look at the mess they've made

We pay them scads of money
To perform their comedic routine
That won't change any time soon
So enjoy your plate of poutine*

Always look on the bright side of life
Things have got to get better
So why not try to enjoy yourself
And just carry on unfettered

of french fries, cheese curds and brown gravy.

Premium Member Mouse or Mountain

My life is made up of so many stages.
I change as I go through the ages.
A rambunctious child and a shy little mouse.
A loving teenager and a right proper louse.
Through the changes of every season,
There is no uniform rhyme or reason..
Maybe luck from a coin in the Trevi Fountain,
Will change a mouse into a vast mountain.
What I am today, I may not be tomorrow,
Affected by a lottery win or tragic sorrow.
The best I can do is lay a solid foundation.
To nurture goodwill and ward off trepidation.
To always look on the bright side of life.
Helps when faced with trouble and strife.
To always be someone they can rely on,
There when they need a shoulder to cry on.
It’s great to be a mountain some of the time.
A hard act to follow when not in my prime.
It’s nice to know that someone is there.
If I am feeling feeble and need some care.
To answer the question Mountains or Mice,
It’s a matter of preference, both can be nice.

“Poutine” is a French Canadian dish of french fries, cheese curds, and rich dark brown gravy! YUM! A heart attack on a plate!

Some days are diamonds

Some days aren't that great

After many many years on this planet Earth

I've discovered attitude makes a huge difference

This WILL be a good day because I WILL it to be

WILLing it CAN make it so

Where there's a WILL, there's a way

An old saying but it still holds true today

We must always look on the bright side of life

Days of sadness are unavoidable

But can be made less formidable by one's attitude

As we age, those things that were so very important

No longer have the same relevance

Our outlook on live is much more relaxed

Much more like 'WHATEVER!”

It's really too bad this feeling can't be achieved

While we're young

To enjoy while we still have many years ahead of us

I guess I should practice what I preach

Because today is not turning out to be a good one

But my WILL and ATTITUDE to survive

WILL see me through

My Favorite Song -Always Look On the Bright Side

It's a wonder how we get through life's start
  with tears flowing from the first depart
but still we take that breath and bravely forge ahead,
  wondering what we could have done instead.
We cry, we shudder and  we laugh, 
  we eat, we grow and pass a little gas;
we study and we learn then easily forget
  just what the purpose of it all was,     and yet -
we search for it, hold it briefly in our hands
  grasping for love to be near where we stand;
but so quickly does the time flow steal it all away
  and the past seems nothing but a game we played.
Hold on tight, you never know what is to come
  perhaps the journey's just begun.
  

It's the only way to, you know!
My favorite funny reality song of all time.

Premium Member - Three Wishes -

Are we really willing to take the chance to change our existence 
My biggest and first wish is a world free of nuclear weapons
The future is in the hands of the enemy
"Always look on the bright side of life" (Monty Python)

I have to be aware of what I want
Thinking about the values of life and how I want to live it
Having a happy life is both a wish and a goal
Happy people live in the present
If we want to live a meaningful life,
we must first understand why we are here

The people on earth are born under the same sky
I want peace - the earth belongs to all of us

Premium Member Who Loves Life

Those who love life, put up your hands
Now let me see, hey you in the back
Don't just sit there like a bump on a log
You're either with us or against us, mac!

You gotta grab life by the proverbial horns
And wrestle it down to the ground
Gotta stomp on it and show it who's boss
Ain't nothing gonna push you around!

Now that's the stuff, I'm hearing you roar
Like you're catching the spirit now
Let's all go out and celebrate life
Let's romp through the fields with the cows!

Okay, maybe that's a bit much for you
But I think you're catching my meaning
Think positive always look on the bright side
Even though your bod may be leaning!

Those who love life, put up your hands
Don't be shy, it's an honour to know you
Together we can show all those naysayers
We'll chase away those nasty blues!

Premium Member Even On the Darkest Day

Even on your darkest day
You can still find reason to smile
Old sol is shining somewhere
The dark's only here for a while

Sadness never sticks around
It usually comes and goes
Bright days are bound to follow
So let the good times roll

Always look on the bright side
A much happier place to be
Take a page from the little folks
Always laughing always free

No future in singing sad songs
They usually just bring you down
Go around with a great big grin 
Play the part of a clown

Even on your darkest day
Spread joy whenever you can
Share it with everyone you meet
A guaranteed fail proof plan!

Premium Member A Happy Old Bird

Hello you sweeties and you guys too
Hope you all have a fantastic day
It's the fervent wish I wish every day
Us Soupers must stay close I say

Support each other when we feel down
We're all susceptible to this quirk
Always look on the bright side of life
Don't worry if it's only a smirk

Gotta start somewhere, maybe a smirk
Soon you'll be giggling away
Greeting everyone with a cheery hello
Wishing them a sunshiny day

Attitude's the key, gotta think positive
To get through our daily routine
You guys help put a smile on my face
When your names pop up on my screen

Want you to know how much you mean
I'd be lost without your kind words
So a hug and a kiss to all you sweet peeps
You make me a happy old bird
