• I'm going to be happy. I'm going to skip. I'm going to be glad. I'm going to be easy. I'm going to count my blessings. I'm going to look for reasons to feel good. I'm going to dig up positive things from the past. I'm going to look for positive things where I stand. I'm going to look for positive things in the future.

• I am often accused of being childish. I prefer to interpret that as child-like. I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things. I tend to exaggerate and fantasize and embellish.

It has been after such times of joy that I have achieved my greatest creativity and produced my best work.

  Leo Buscaglia

• This unlikely story begins on a sea that was a blue dream, as colorful as blue-silk stockings, and beneath a sky as blue as the irises of children's eyes. From the western half of the sky the sun was shying little golden disks at the sea--if you gazed intently enough you could see them skip from wave tip to wave tip until they joined a broad collar of golden coin that was collecting half a mile out and would eventually be a dazzling sunset.

• Marching onward, marching onward
  Marching to that lovely tune
  Marching onward, marching onward
  Happy as a bird in June
  
  Sliding onward, sliding onward
  Listen to that rag
  Hop and skip now do that slow, oh
  Do that slow drag
  
  Dance slowly, prance slowly
  Now you hear that pretty rag
  Dance slowly, prance slowly
  Now you do the real slow drag
  
  Waltz slowly, waltz slowly
  Listen to the ragtime
  Hop and skip
  Now do the slow, oh, do the slow drag

  Scott Joplin
