 Jack’s Winning Words 1/14/22

“Nothing is permanent in this wicked word – not even our troubles.”  (Charlie Chaplin)  Life was not always funny for funnyman Chaplin.  He grew in poverty, living on the streets before the age of ten.  Perhaps that was part of his success as a comedian, blending pathos with slapstick.  It can be that way for each of us when troubles come our way…taking life’s lemons and turning them into lemonade.  Have you ever heard the song, “Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and, smile, smile, smile.”  (Just checking your age…).  ;-)  Jack   

FROMBLAZING OAKS:  Or "Just let a Smile be Your Umbrella on a Rainy, Rainy Day" ===JACK:  ...or the positive attitude.  "It's not raining rain, you know.  It's raining violets.  ...and do you remember the Windshield Wiper song?   ....and Singing In the Rain (one of the best).  (Google Kurt Browning "Skating in the Rain." I really like that video.
