sunshine and a singing mom

It is November 3rd. In gloomy Michigan. And the sun is shining. So, today I am thankful for the sunshine and a singing mom.

Singing mom? When I was little my mom sang a song to me all of the time that went a little something like this:

"So let the sun shine in. Face it with a grin. Smilers never lose and frowners never win. So let the sun shine in."

And she would dance around in her little mom way and it, of course, always made me smile. So whenever the sun is shining, and today was one of those beautiful sun-shiney days, I think of my mom dancing around the living room singing. And it still makes me smile.
