Words on Wednesday.
This words for this week have been selected by LEE.
Comedy. Shadows. Loss. Rainbow. Emotional. Heart.
My story goes like this. Who decides whether you should be happy or not, the reply is you do.
A television Comedy* celebrity had as a guest on his programm an aged gentleman in the *Shadows of his life. And he was a very rare old man indeed His remarks were entirely unpremeditated and as well as being unrehearsed, they simply bubble out of a personality that was radiant and Un- *Emotional and happy., and whenever he said anything, it was so naive, so apt, that the audience roared with laughter. They loved him, The celebrity was impressed, and enjoyed it with the others and was at a *Loss to understand why his *Heart was so full of happiness and his smile likened to that of a * Rainbow.
Finally, the celebrity asked the old man why he was so happy."You must have a wonderful secret for happiness," he suggested.
"No," replied the old man," I have.no secret, Its something I do every day early in the morning, the earlier the better." he explained, " I have two choices - either to be happy or unhappy and what do you think I do?. I simply choose to be happy, and that's all there is to it."
Vest says. "Let yourself shine and don't compare yourself with anyone."
Back soon.

Some men can be just obnoxious- certainly not making the right choice each morning!

Being an airforce brat (father in RAF) wandering is in my blood and I plus my airman husband spent nearly 3 fabulous years in the Far East during the early 60s.
Although it has changed enormously since then any chance we can get to visit we take it
There used to be a beautiful Orchid Nursery and Garden in Singapore up near the causeway to Johore Bahru - it was moved to bigger (better?) grounds but to us it was never the same.
And what a lovely coincidence that the happy lady in my WFW story today was also called Rosie
Take care

Although Rose and I lived both in Johore Bahru and Singapore collectively over 48 months I myself had previously visited Lion Island (Singapore) several times and later during my naval career plus some 70 other countries some several times.
I remember the standoff between Lee Kwan Yew and Tunkal Abdul Raman in the early sixties. settled in favour of Malaysia when the water pipes across the Causeway were turned off.
So many more memories. My eldest Son is my carer, Chris is 63 and born in the BMH S-pore, he has four brothers.
