Don't Worry...Be Happy!

In the words of Bob Marley:
cos when you worry, your face will frown,
and that will bring everybody down,
so don't worry, be happy

don't worry, be happy now...

don't worry, be happy
don't worry, be happy
don't worry, be happy
don't worry, be happy

now there this song i wrote
i hope you you learned it note for note
like good little children

don't worry be happy

listen to what i say
in your life expect some trouble
when you worry you make it double
don't worry be happy
be happy now

don't worry, be happy
don't worry, be happy
don't worry, be happy
don't worry, be happy
don't worry
don't worry be happy
don't worry, don't worry, don't do it,
be happy,put a smile on your face,
don't bring everybody down like this

don't worry, it will soon pass whatever it is,
don't worry, be happy,
I'm not worried

So far some positive things have come out of this layoff/downsizing situation. First of all, Stephen and I decided to change his flight to Florida for our joint vacation from August 4th to July 31st. That means he will be here, in the same state as me in TWO WEEKS. (I am squealing with excitement right now!) This in itself is enough to make me happy; but wait, there is more! I sent out probably around 10-12 resumes and letters today within less than 24 hours of finding out I no longer had a job. How is that for productive? Honestly, I was impressed with how quickly I jumped on the application bandwagon. I will be sure to post and let you all know what kind of feedback/interviews I get. Keep your fingers crossed!

We had a great girls night tonight and watched "Sleepless in Seattle"...I am embarrassed to say that tonight was the first time I had seen the movie and I own it! I really enjoyed it and I love the young Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks with 1980's hair and shoulder pads. The girls and my little brother are headed to the beach for the weekend of fun and sun and relaxing. I am off to pack.

Have a great weekend!

2 WEEKS!! That's fantastic! Way to make the most of this situation :)

And that's wonderful that you already have put in so much work into finding a new job! Good luck!

Let me tell you… I too have never seen Sleepless in Seattle; and when I told my husband he almost hit the floor! I’m 27 years old and haven’t seen some of the most amazing classics known to man… I need to catch up! Ha!

Have fun at the beach!
