Handling a Difficult Situation from

an Unexpected Source... 

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
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 right 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)

A-Just before you draw your terminal breath (Whistle)

Life's a piece of shit (Oooh)

When you look at it

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true (Oooh)

You'll see it's all a show (Oooh)

Keep 'em laughin' as you go

Just remember that the last laugh is on you (Oooh)

And...

Always look on the bright side of life

Always look on the right side of life (Whistle) 

(C'mon Brian, cheer up!)

The Choices that are my own...

“The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters

so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, 

and which have to do with the choices I actually control. 

Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals,

but within myself to the choices that are my own…”

Epictetus, Discourses, 2.5.4–5

Invisible Good Stuff

 

“In the external scheme of things,

shining moments are as brief as the twinkling of an eye, 

yet such twinklings are what eternity is made of -- 

moments when we human beings can say "I love you," 

"I'm proud of you," "I forgive you," "I'm grateful for you." 

That's what eternity is made of: 

invisible imperishable good stuff.”

Fred Rogers

All things in nature are as they are meant to be...

"One does not walk into the forest and accuse the trees of being off-center, 

nor do they visit the shore and call the waves imperfect. 

So why do we look at ourselves this way? "

Tao Te Ching
