Good one @Former-Member , @Adge

[Olga]

This is a fantastic quote! Thank you @Shaz51. Sometimes we are so concerned with the bigger picture that we forget all the little things that have the potential to give us joy and for which we are grateful

[Shaz51]

@Former-Member, @Adge , @utopia , @AEB

 I think, to be  content more we  we gotta work to

- look for the good

- show gratitude

- count our blessings

LOVE THIS SONG:

Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive"

 by Johnny Mercer

You've got to 

accentuate the positive and
Eliminate the negative and
Latch on to the affirmative &
Don't mess with Mister In Between
You've got to spread joy 

upto the maximum
Bring gloom 

down to the minimum and
Have faith 

or pandemonium is
Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate his last remark
Jonah in the whale, 

Noahin the ark
What did they do
Just when 

everythinglooked so dark
Man, they said we better

-
Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
No, do not mess with Mister In-Between
Do you hear me, hmm?
Oh, listen to me children and-a you will hear
About the elininatin' of the negative
And the accent on the positive
And gather 'round me children if you're willin'
And sit tight while I start reviewin'
The attitude of doin' right
You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In Between
You've got to spread joy (up to the maximum)
Bring gloom (down) down to the minimum
Otherwise (otherwise) pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate (well illustrate) my last remark (you got the floor)
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they say (what did they say)
Say when everything looked so dark
Man, they said we better
Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
No! Don't mess with Mister In-Between
