Just Happy To Be Alive

My approach to life has always been

One of lightheartedness and happy to be alive

However, I recall my early years, expecially 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!
