Ian Dury and the Blockheads – Reasons to Be Cheerful, Part 3

I got in the car this afternoon and just as I started driving, this song came on the radio. Funny timing because I’d been thinking of it recently, given the state of things.

I am not someone who always looks on the bright side of things, and cheerful is hardly a word I would use to describe myself. However, it’s a good reminder not to focus on the awful things, especially as it gets dark so early. It’s something I need to work on; being present, looking for a positive instead of always seeing the negative, noticing the beauty in small, ordinary things. I think it will be even more important as the shit hits the fan.
