Looking on the bright side

"Always look at the bright side of life"

I am practicing here before going down the big cliff

 These are some of my favorite pictures of myself.  I was on a camping trip in Margaret River, Western Australia with a group of women friends.

Abseiling (rappelling) down a cliff with the Indian Ocean over my shoulder was an unforgettable experience. I was afraid, but once I stepped off the top and started to go down, I was exhilarated.

You probably can't tell, but I had a messed up elbow and my right hand was broken (that's why I am leading with my left- I am naturally right handed). I had gone over the handlebars of a  bicycle a week or so before the camping trip and banged myself up.

This is life.  Being scared.  Doing the thing you are scared of.  Coming out of it having learned something about yourself and your strength that you never could have imagined.  Life is a trip!

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life Lyrics
 From the life of Brian:

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best

And always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing

And always look on the bright side of life
Come on!
Always look on the right side of life

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin
Give the audience a grin
Enjoy it, it's your last chance anyhow

So, always look on the bright side of death
A-just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you

And always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life

C'mon Brian, cheer up!

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life

Worse things happen at sea, you know
Always look on the bright side of life

I mean, what have you got to lose
You know, you come from nothing, you're going back to nothing
What have you lost? Nothing!

Always look on the right side of life...

Nothing will come from nothing, you know what they say?
Cheer up you old bugger, c'mon give us a grin!
There you are, see, it's the end of the film
Incidentally, this record is available in the foyer
Some of us have to got live as well, you know
