This musical video “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life!” has a few words in it that can be considered offensive (I am being serious here). The song is from Monty Python’s movie The Life of Brian (1979) but the point is still well made. We take ourselves and our lives (and everyone else’s) far too seriously, too often.
The good news is … (wait, there’s good news?) … as I was saying, the good news is there is so much news, events, activities, things happening that everyone seems to have an opinion about, and so on, that the word “boring” (unless your referring to a drill) isn’t in most people’s vocabulary. At least not too much.
This is official “Lighten up Week” (well I don’t know that it’s actually official) but for goodness sake (your own sake – for starters!) look on the bright side of things. It is waaaaay to easy to look on the dark side (Imagine Darth Vader breathing here!) of things.

Take a break this week from the “Much ado” aspect of living. Be thankful and grateful for what you do have right this second. Enjoy those around you, make their day and yours a little bit better.
Have a great week,

The Why About This 
AnElephantCant always look on the bright side
Sometimes he finds things a bit trying
He is not the Messiah
He sets his sights higher
And just lives the Life of Brian
Brian’s outlook on life is most excellent. Whistling, as one waits for the end, just an amazing attitude it comes down to that! 🙂 xx
What a wonderful thought. I’m tired of looking behind every door for the boogeyman.
A great reminder…thanks Penny. 🙂
A funny fun song, upbeat to say the very least, if somewhat irreverent LuAnn! 🙂
Absolutely love that, Brightened my day and made me smiiiiiileeeeee. 😀
It is a happy song isn’t it Ute? Thanks! xx
Ah The Promos, fantastic at any time but with this, awesome. The perfect tonic to what can only be described as the worst day of any week, unless it is a day off work.
Thank you SteJ, I agree completely! 🙂
LIfe’s a piece of… Eh? No, I adore British humour, and criminal series, the best, after Montréal Canada then… I rather look on a British series than an American, but it could be to much too, as Benny Hill… Here in France we’re good on humour… But to have a good sense of humour you need to be serious!
Thanks Maria, this video is hilarious! Love it! And your blog site as well! 🙂

Me too Kenley. Happy Earth Day! Have a great week my friend! 🙂
