When I start feeling a bit down, I play the song "Jumpin Jack Flash" by the Rolling Stones created in 1968.
We all have past and present difficulties, problems, negative experiences, frustrations, friends and family that get sick and die, we get old, people fail us and we fail others, disappointments mount, sadness pervades...
BUT don't WHINE. Jump Up, Jump Up. Let go of the past. Be like Jumpin Jack Flash. Resurrect Yourself! Count your Blessings, today! Onward!
"But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, Im Jumpin Jack flash,
It's a gas! gas! gas!"
Life is, for me, generally, a GAS! It's a gas, gas, gas!
"I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right. Im Jumpin Jack Flash,
Its a gas! gas! gas!
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, Im Jumpin Jack flash,
Its a gas! gas! gas!
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, Im Jumpin Jack flash,
It's a gas! gas! gas!"
So energising.
