Smile...

My mama always told me that life doesn't get any easier as you get older... you just get accustomed to certain situations and learn how to better deal with them. It's interesting how as a child, you can't wait to grow up and start living your own life and making your own decisions...and then that time comes - you're an "adult" and you're suddenly required to make responsible choices and that freedom you so yearned for just really means "paying your own damn bills"...LOL! I love being grown - most times - but other times i just wanna yell out "mummmyyyyyyy!!!" and have her take care of Everything!

I woke up this morning feeling that way and then amazingly heard a song I absolutely love (Smile, by Nat King Cole) - that kinda made it all better :)

I'll leave you with the words... have a super-duper day!


"Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you...

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile"
