Just Happy To Be Alive

My approach to life has always been One of lightheartedness and just happy to be alive However, I recall my early years, especially my teenage years When I was filled with self-doubt Thought of myself as quite unattractive and lacking in people skills Until I got out in the working world And realized my humour helped push me through I discovered people love to laugh It helps them through their gruelling day at the office Humour has carried me through my whole life Through my good times and especially through the tough times My motto is, “if I can't change things... Oh well, this is the way it is, so no sense being unhappy forever” Though at times it can be extremely difficult I've always manage to eventually laugh at life I've discovered it's the only way to survive I'm not suggesting that everyone is capable of this But it's my secret to a long and happy life So there you have it... why I'm known as “Jester Jack” A title of which I am so very very proud! I'm just happy to be alive! © Jack Ellison 2014
