Some things in life are bad They can really make you mad Other things just make you swear and curse When you're chewing on life's gristle Don't grumble, give a whistle And this'll help things turn out for the best And...
Always look on the bright side of life (whistle) Always look on the light side of life (whistle) If life seems jolly rotten There's something you've forgotten And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps Don't be silly chumps Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing And...
Always look on the bright side of life... (whistle) Come on! Always look on the bright side of life... (whistle)
For life is quite absurd And death's the final word You must always face the curtain with a bow Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow
So always look on the bright side of death (whistle) Just before you draw your terminal breath (whistle) Life's a piece of sh#t When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true You'll see it's all a show Keep 'em laughing as you go Just remember that the last laugh is on you
And always look on the bright side of life Always look on the right side of life (whistle) Always look on the bright side of life (whistle) Always look on the bright side of life (whistle)
First, the photo took my breath away, and then the post was just so lovely. Your family can do without you for a week or so. Give the time to your parents while you can.
It's not easy is it Kerri, being caught in the middle. I sure am in the thick of it and the anxiety is taking it's toll. Glad you are looking on the bright side. Hopefully spending time with you parents was special even if it was a bit stressful.
I'm glad you got to spend time with your parents. I've been through this with my parents already and know how hard it is to make choices when it comes to family and where you should be when. Consider this a "hug" and hope things continue to go well. Beautiful downy photo.
Kerri, thanks for visiting my bloggy and the kind note you sent - your work is amazing and you have a rare gift. I wanted to let you know I went through a sad time at your age (not too long ago!) and it seemed to lift when I hit 46. I read somewhere that women have a hard time with depression in the early to mid 40s so I hope that you know there is another happy time ahead! thank you again and keep creating your beautiful works...
