Spreading It

Remember the old song
“I’m walking in sunshine….
ohh oh!
I’m walking in sunshine,
ohh oh,
and it feels so good!”?

That is how to attack a day…any day.
Some days you can.

Some days you can’t.
That’s when I like to pretend I can.

Those are the days I know I get help.

And on those days
Not only does it feel like
“I’m walking in sunshine…”

but to know I tried

makes it feel all that much better.

Know how I know?

Because I see YOU smiling right back at me
right now.

As your little icon so aptly shows, it is easy enough to find a reason to spread it around!!!  You are quite welcome, and thank you for reading!

Grins are Great! Go over to Open Poetry 8 and see my post about An Anniversary Song and With One Word and see if those help your smile grow...then if you get inspired, come back here and pen a new one!

a wonderful poem, that is the way to tackle each day. Though it does help when it is actually sunny. It was sunny yesterday all day. beautiful day and I was in a state of euphoria just because it was sunny.
