About two months ago...

Sometime in late 2014, on a Saturday morning, I found myself walking around the house quietly singing a song to myself. I didn't think much of it until my wife turned to me and said "You know, it's been a real adventure the past 15 years to discover what song you're going to sing to yourself every morning."

I protested that it didn't happen nearly that often, but she assured me that most mornings, I had some tune or another stuck in my head, and they rarely repeated.

So, I decided to do a daily blog post about the song I have in my head each day, just to see where it leads.

2024.NOV.05 - Life's a Happy Song!

My wife asked me to start writing these again, so here we go.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved The Muppets. The characters from Seasame Street and Mr. Rodgers were the only reliable things from my childhood, and I can still vividly recall the details of many episodes of each.

In 2011, I was very nervous about the new movie, _The Muppets_, as we took our kids to see it. I didn't know Jason Segel's body of work very well, but my perception of him at the time was that he was a poor man's Vince Vaughn (which…is saying something).

I couldn't possibly have been more wrong about it. What a joyous celebration it was of what made the Muppets such a major factor in the lives of SO MANY PEOPLE.

And nothing could have been done better to settle my fears than the opening number, _Life's a Happy Song_. That is why it remains to this day one of my choices for a morning alarm. Which is probably why it's a frequent repeater for the Song of the Day.

Life's a happy song…

YES. IT IS.
