ARE YOU LOOKING FOR THE SILVER LINING?

Looking at the pictures I posted yesterday reminded me of a song mom loved. She'd often sing Look for the Silver Lining around the house when she was especially blue about something. Lord knows there were times in our family when there was plenty to be blue about. Written way back in the day (1920) Judy Garland brought fame to this piece, mom brought Look for the Silver Lining into my life:

As sung by Judy Garland:

As I wash my dishes, I'll be following a plan,

Till I see the brightness in ev'ry pot and pan.

I am sure this point of view will ease the daily grind,

So I'll keep repeating in my mind.

Look for the silver lining

When e'er a cloud appears in the blue.

Remember somewhere, the sun is shining

And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you.

A heart, full of joy and gladness

Will always banish sadness and strife

So always look for the silver lining

And try to find the sunny side of life.

So always look for the silver lining

And try to find the sunny side of life.
