“Grab your coat and get your hat, Leave your worry on the doorstep.  Just direct your feet, to the sunny side of the street.” — Dorothy Fields, American songwriter and lyricist

Keep on the Sunny Side

You may have guessed by now that music is an important part of life for the two of us.  Music speaks directly to the soul.  Words hitch a ride on catchy tunes or inspiring melodies and we never forget.  You know how an advertising jingle gets stuck in your mind and keeps replaying over and over?  Annoying isn’t it?  Well we can use the same concept to make important spiritual concepts a part of our lives and to help maintain a positive attitude as well.

Be careful of the music you listen to.  Use music as tool to learn and remember truth, beauty, positivity and the spiritual life.  Let’s start with this reminder to Keep on the Sunny Side of Life.  This one is bound to make you smile.
