A few years back, I had a manager for a short time who was dealing with some personal issues. One of the few conversations I had with him he said "it is what you make of it".
Everyone, I'm sure, has heard those words or close to them at some point. What has stuck with me for so long of him saying these words is that less than a month after he said this to me he lost his job and his family life.
But he prevailed.
He moved on to another job, a new location and eventually a new wife and he has done quite well for himself.
It is what you make of it.

The Great Ferris Bueller said "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

With those two philosophies (and many others) in mind, I decided to embark upon a list of things that make me smile. Why?
I truly feel that as of this moment I am on the brink of a nervous breakdown. Things are not going even remotely to plan and I am a flexible person. The current set of circumstances have me feeling pretty out of control and in a hate-hate relationship with life.
I need positive, joy and fun. This list of things fits that bill.

II

When my son was a baby, this song came out.  We used to sing it to him, but change the lyrics to fit whatever infant issue we were dealing with at the time.  From swinging in his swing to changing diapers, we made the song fit.
When I hear it now, I remember some of the lyrics we made up but mostly it's just a catchy song.
