put on a happy face {october 31, 2023}

In response to yesterday's sorta grumpy post...Put on a Happy Face

Put on a Happy Face

by Dick Van Dyke

Gray skies are gonna clear up,

Put on a happy face;

Brush off the clouds and cheer up,

Put on a happy face.

Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy,

It's not your style

You'll look so good that you'll be glad

Ya' decide to smile!

Pick out a pleasant outlook,

Stick out that noble chin;

Wipe off that "full of doubt" look,

Slap on a happy grin!

And spread sunshine all over the place,

Just put on a happy face!

And if you're feeling cross and bitterish

Don't sit and whine

Think of banana split and licorice

And you'll feel fine

I knew a girl so glooming

She'd never laugh or sing

She wouldn't listen to me

Now she's a mean old thing

So spread sunshine all over the place

Just put on a happy face

So, put on a happy face.

This photo was taken in Hoosier National Forest. T and I were looking for the Birdseye Trail which was a 4-mile hike. The GPS took us down a logging path, into the depths of the forest, and before we arrived at the trail we decided we didn't want to be this far away from civilization. When we got to the trail parking lot, it was closed because of the logging operation going on there.

Today is Halloween. We're halfway between September's autumn equinox and December's winter solstice and we're going to "fall back" on November 5. Bye bye, Daylight Saving Time.
