On our bathroom wall is a framed poem from Lord of the Rings. It’s the “Hot Water” poem from near the start of Frodo, Merry, and Pippin’s travel away from the Shire. Silly, soothing, always fun. It begins like this:

“Sing hey! for the bath at close of day

that washes the weary mud away!

A loon is he that will not sing,

O! Water hot is a noble thing”

…and on it goes. Never fails to smooth out the day’s wrinkles.

This is a beautiful, wonderful, and helpful post, my friend! I call the positive toxic positivity folks happiness zealots, they want to force a smile on your face and don't let you feel your feelings, which turns you into a happiness zombie.

I love the collage, "Just Singing Anyway"!
