“Keep on the Sunny Side”
“Keep on the Sunny Side,” played and sung by my son, James.
Five words can say it all. “Keep on the Sunny Side,” is a song made famous by June Carter. The words seem to tell us that we always have a choice to either dwell on the negatives in our lives, or to adopt a positive attitude, knowing that “our Savior” cares for us. As you can see, the song takes a bit of a religious twist at the end, and therefore, has also been adopted by the Christian musicians.
We could all feel happier if we felt we could take take charge of our lives by walking on the sunny side. There will always be losses. When you are very young, no one tells you about those. People concentrate on encouraging a person about their “bright future,” which may or may not materialize, and at any rate, if blessings come, they may not last forever. There is no solution to the ongoing realities we must all face, but we must celebrate the good things and the good people who remain with us, in the face of life’s ups and downs.
Always try to “keep on the sunny side,” if not for you, personally, then for those around you.
Have a great week!
