Brilliant topic ... I think I am positive person thanks to things that have happened to me ...
I have been waiting for this prompt for a few days. Not writing but just mulling things over in my head.
First things first though, I love music and there is a song that popped into my head evenbefore I started thinking about things....
The lyrics are fluffing bang on!
Captain Sensible - Happy Talk
It starts off with this banging chorus ...
Happy talkin', talkin', happy talk
Talk about things you'd like to do"
You've got to have a dream
If you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true
Just read those lyrics, I just love them, it really is a catchy upbeat song....
Happy Talk is a show tune from the 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific
The laugh is Captain Sensible cofounded the punk band The Damned, so was a huge surprise hearing him release this. It is of course a cover of "Happy Talk" a show tune from the 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific
So yes for me music is massive in making me happy...
... but what I call catchy upbeat music I love.
Things like ska, 2 tone etc ...
Excuse my Bab Manners but check this out before we move on ... (I don't want this to be purely a musical post!)!
Bad Manners - Ne Ne Na Na Na Na Nu Nu
Their lead singer is called Buster Bloodvessel, awesome fun band and their music is such a pick up!
You know there is always someone somewhere who is worse off than you at any given time. So come on and put a smile on your face.
Helping
You know even though I love the band Bad Manners I love good manners. It is something I assumed people have, it was part of my upbringing.
I am shocked today with how little manners people of today have.
Mid your p's and q's we were told. p for please and q for thank you. I always say them, I always say sorry even when I am usually in the right!
But yeah I am shocked at today's kids and young people that don't do this!
But back to kindness, I call it RAOK Randon Acts of Kindess, holding the door open for people, helping little old ladies cross the street. They are all normal things to do, that are kind and put a smile on my face!
This brings me onto helping wildlife.
How cool is it, that we have a platform like Hive, where we can earn Hive and then go buy some food like this š
Then when you go feed the wildlife, damn that makes you feel good and happy too!
The little brown pellets in the water they are eating is the swan food I buy from Amazon with Hive money ...
The grey and white camouflaged swans are baby cygnets of you were wondering.
I am a feeder
I have inherited this from my father. Mrs T says I am a feeder. We used to have huge parties where I would cook and cook and cook as if Iwas feeding a fluffing army.
But you can never have too much food right?
Now though we don't entertain anything like on the scale that we used to, so my days or army cooking are behind me.
However Chef T does love to feed people, seeing someone with a contented smile on their face makes this cook well and truly happy!
Duck and orange salad anyone?
My god that was tasty!
Talking of tasty, something that has always made me happy is females.
I remember moving to a new school up north at the age of 15. I was from Edinburgh and the boys seem to resent me. The girls meanwhile were delightful and I sat beside them all in classes.
My grandmother would say my eyes lit up whenever I talked to girls.
Mrs T says I have a phone voice for females and indeed nothing gives me more pleasure than helping a damsel in disress!
As I said I am a positive person, you can find happiness when you look for it.
It does not have to be a big thing, but once you get into a state of mind to be positive and happy then boy oh boy life is more fun!
I could bore you to death with lots more things that make me happy.
I hope you enjoyed some of what makes me happy!
Thanks for visiting and have a great week ahead.
