Just look, you'll find your sunshine!

Happy Tremendously Amazing Thursday my Happy clan!  I hope you all had a wonderful day!!  As always, I did too!  I could have very easily had a bad day - I was at work an hour later than I was supposed to (yet I still got a lot of work taken care of that will help out for tomorrow), I hurt my knee from wearing the wrong shoes on my last two 4-mile jogs/power walks with my sister (but I found my good running shoes and was able to do the 4-mile jog today) and my favorite hair product decided to stop working so well on my hair (but I was able to style my hair in cute pigtails using a new oil that seems to work quite well instead).  You see, I always look for the positive in every situation.  Of course, it's definitely easier to do some days than it is than others, but I always find a way!

There is always a silver lining - no matter what!  You just have to stop being afraid to look for it!!  Sometimes it's exactly what we thought it would be and other times it ends up being our unanswered prayers, but in the end we find our silver lining.  And as I sit here writing this, a song keeps running through my head that I actually feel would be the perfect Happy for this post.  No, it's not Unanswered Prayers by Garth Brooks, but instead it's one of my favorite songs all about finding your happiness no matter what life may throw your way.  So, here's not only the video for it but also the lyrics as well:

The Sound of Sunshine
Michael Franti and Spearhead



I wake up in the morning, it's 6 o'clock
They say there may be rain but the sun is hot
I wish I had some time just to kill today
And I wish I had a dime for every bill I got to pay

Some days you lose, you win
And the waters as high as the times you're in
So I jump back into where I learned to swim
Try to keep my head above it as best I can

That's why here I am
Just waiting for this storm to pass me by
And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
And that's the sound of sunshine coming down

I saw my friend, Bobby, he said "What's up man?
You gotta little work or a twenty to lend?"
I opened up my hand, he said, "I'm glad to see
They can take away my job but not my friends, you see"

And here I am
Just waiting for this storm to pass me by
And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
And that's the sound of sunshine coming down

Yo, yo, here we go
I want to go where the summer never ends
With my guitar on the beach, there with all my friends
The sun so hot and the waves in motion
And everything smells like suntan lotion

The ocean and the girls so sweet
So kick off your shoes and relax your feet
They say that miracles are never ceasing
And every single soul needs a little releasing
The stereo bumping till the sun goes down
And I only want to hear that sound

And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
And that's the sound of sunshine coming down

And now say
You're the one I want to be with
When the sun goes down
You're the one I want to be with
When the sun goes down

Sing, you're the one I want to be with
When the sun goes down
You're the one I want to be with
When the sun goes

That's the sound of sunshine coming down
And that's the sound of sunshine coming down

When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down

I hope you all enjoyed this song and can use for future happies you may need or want!  I know I use it quite often ;)  But now, it's off to dream land for me so until tomorrow, keep smiling and spreading that love!!

Peace, Love and Happiness!
Karen :)
