Why be sad when you can be happy?
The Grumble Family There’s a family nobody likes to meet; They live, it is said, on Complaining Street In the city of Never-Are-Satisfied, The River of Discontent beside. They growl at that and they growl at this; Whatever comes, there is something amiss; And whether their station be high or humble, They are all known by the name of Grumble. The weather is always too hot or too cold; Sumer and winter alike they scold. Nothing goes right with the folks you meet Down on that gloomy Complaining Street. They growl at the rain and they growl at the sun; In fact, their growling is never done. And if everything pleased them, there isn’t a doubt They’d growl that they’d nothing to grumble about! But the queerest thing is that not one of the same Can be brought to acknowledge his family name; For never a Grumbler will own that he Is ever connected with it at all, you see The worst thing is that if anyone stays Among them too long, he will learn their ways; And before he dreams of the terrible jumble, He’s adopted into the family of Grumble. And so it were wisest to keep our feet From wandering into Complaining Street; And never to growl, whatever we do, Lest we be mistaken for Grumblers too. Let us learn to walk with a smile and song, No matter if things do sometimes go wrong; And then, be our station high or humble, We’ll never belong to the family of Grumble.
~ Unknown Thanks Did I forget to thank Thee, Lord, For things that may seem small: A flower by the wayside path, A wild bird’s lovely call, For all the daily happenings That we call commonplace, For sunrise and for sunset glow, My neighbor’s smiling face? Since life is made of little things, Oh let me not forget To count my smallest blessings all Before the sun is set. I thank Thee, Lord, for every one Who adds a note of cheer, And for the blessings multiplied To me from year to year.
