. . . a number one hit from 1988 . . .
. . . the first time ever
for an a cappella song . . .
. . . with all of the parts
and instruments
"sung" by bobby mcferrin . . .
{robin williams is an absolute lunatic in the music video}
. . . "don't worry ~ be happy" . . .
. . . catchy lyrics,
but, in my estimation,
not easily accomplished . . .
. . . i'm usually
pretty frivolous and silly
on this here blog . . .
. . . but under that frivolity,
and especially today,
i worry . . .
. . . i worry as i watch
too many people suffer . . .
. . . people i love most dearly . . .
. . . suffering that's
hard to understand . . .
. . . what's the point? . . .
. . . what are we supposed
to learn from this? . . .
. . . why us? . . .
. . . why now? . . .
. . . why? . . .
. . . why? . . .
. . . why? . . .
. . . and then lots of times,
the "why, why, why"
turns into "wah, wah, wah" . . .
. . . and it's so easy to get caught
in that downward spiral . . .
. . . until i have to sort of slap myself
and snap out of it . . .
. . . worrying is ineveitable . . .
. . . the challenge is to stay happy
through it all . . .
. . . i'm trying . . .
. . . because i'm really
so very blessed . . .
. . . think happy thoughts . . .
