Put on my Happy Face

Too share or not too share? Sometimes I wonder what is appropriate to share in a blog? This is very personal to me but I have decided to share it with you.

It's been a rough few weeks. My Mum, whom has Multiple Sclerosis, is very ill. She is deteriorating rapidly. Our Family has some very serious decisions to make in the next few months. I was feeling blue so I decided to put on my MP3 player and listen to some music. Up popped "Happy Face" by Destiny's Child. Hmm... coincidence? No, I think not. I hear ya God! Thanks for the gentle reminder.
I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shining

I put on my happy face

I'm living, I'm able, I'm breathing, I'm grateful

To put on my happy face.

Woke up and realized this world's not so bad after all

Looked at it through a child's eyes, and I saw these beautiful

Things that you never think about

Like the ocean, moonlight, stars and clouds

It's amazing how we don't appreciate our blessings.

There's plenty of people who don't like me

But there's 10 times more who love me and I love myself

Sometimes, it gets tough, it gets tough

But I can't give up, can't give up

Just take a deep breath, close my eyes

Feel the love and give a smile.

I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shining

I put on my happy face

It's me, I just wanna be happy

Today is the day I am willing to say

I will put all the past behind me, no more enemies

Ready cause (ready cause)

I'm living in this world (living in this world)

I wanna make a change (wanna make a change)

I'm Gonna make a change (gonna make a change)

Put on my happy face.

Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be okay

Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be okay

I woke up this morning with a happy face.

Destiny's Child - Happy Face (okay so I omitted half the words, but you get the gist of it)

I am going to try and remember to put on my "Happy Face". Be grateful for all that I have and the time that I have had with my Mum. I will count my blessings each and every day.

Thanks for bearing with me on this long winded post. Have a good weekend!
