I’ve been watching a lot of old movies this week and my favorites are always 50s musicals, especially ones that star Gene Kelly. He is most definitely the greatest of those classic movie stars. He’s classy, smooth, and ever so dreamy. Plus, he’s from Pittsburgh, my old hometown, and that makes him even cooler, obviously.
Singin’ In The Rain has my very favorite old musical song, “Good Morning”. Remember how Ally McBeal had a theme song to get herself in the right frame of mind? I use “Good Morning” in a similar way. You know those mornings where you wake up and actually consider breaking your own arm just so you could get out of whatever you have to do that day? It might be that class you hate, or some appointment you can’t put off any longer but you just know will be torture, or maybe just the thought of yet another day at the damn office. On those kind of days, I stick on “Good Morning” and let it force me into a good mood. I’ve done it for years and it never fails. It’s so cheerful, kind of like Care Bears on ecstasy, how could you possibly stay grumpy?
