"Keep on the sunny side of life."

June and I agree.


Okay, a little post script thing to my previous post here. I knew I'd heard that phrase before, keep on the sunny side of life. And it occurred to me after I made my blog that it was a song. So I went on a quest for the lyrics. Turns out that it IS a song, and lots of different people sing it, including June Carter Cash. I read the lyrics, and they pretty much sum up my whole "sunny side up" thing. So (drumroll please) "Keep on the Sunny Side" is going to be the official song of the "Sunny Side Up" blog! I'll let you read the lyrics for yourself.

Well there's a dark and a troubled side of life.
There's a bright and a sunny side too.
But if you meet with the darkness and strife,
The sunny side we also may view.

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,
Keep on the sunny side of life.
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way,
If we keep on the sunny side of life.

Oh, the storm and its fury broke today,
Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear.
Clouds and storms will in time pass away.
The sun again will shine bright and clear.

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,
Keep on the sunny side of life.
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way,
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life.

Let us greet with a song of hope each day.
Though the moments be cloudy or fair.
Let us trust in our Saviour always,
To keep us, every one, in His care.

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,
Keep on the sunny side of life.
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way,
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life.

If we'll keep on the sunny side of life.


There you have it! I have a blog song!

Ok, you're going to think I'm stalking you, but I had to tell you this! One of my friends up here is having a hard time lately. She has some medical problems and is kind of depressed about it. So Shaun and I went to Wal-mart to put together a gift basket of caffiene-free stuff for her (she has to give up caffiene). The card we picked out reminded me of you! It had an egg on the front and said, "Life is like an egg..." and on the inside it said, "You have to keep on the sunny side, even when you're fried!" It was pretty cute. Just thought you might appreciate that!
