A Merry Heart Doeth Good (Prov. 17:22) - as sung by Jack Marti

I've been quoting this passage a lot lately as I've been feeling a little down due to some circumstances in my life right now that are pretty much beyond of my control. I also added this little tune to it so I could sing it to myself as I go about my daily work. Smiling, even in spite of myself, makes me feel better, I think, because it releases endorphins that give me a boost. Sometimes I get strange looks from people who see me smiling for no apparent reason, but that's okay because it usually puts a smile on their face too, even if it's at my expense! Anyway, I thought I'd share this song with those who, like myself, struggle at times to stay on the sunny side.

A merry heart doeth good
like a medicine: (x 3)
But a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Proverbs seventeen: twenty-two.
