In "My Get Up and Go," Pete Seeger said,  
.
I get up each morning and dust off my wits,
Open the paper and read the obits.
If I'm not there, I know I'm not dead.
So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed.

First, I exercise early every morning. It gets me ready to tackle the day and definitely helps my mood.  I get down if I have to miss a day or two.

 
I also try to remind myself how damn lucky I am, in so many ways, compared to most other people on the planet.  It’s a happy/sad thing, but I’ve found an attitude of gratitude helps my mood in general.

from a standup routine by comedian George Burns.  Granted, he put them to music and made them rhyme, but it's still Burns' creative product.

He was once asked by a reporter how he felt when people cribbed his material.

 
He replied that he had no right to complain seeing as how he had filched so much material himself.

No, he did not.

"Note from Joe: Although Pete Seeger sang these lyrics in concert, he did not write them. Many variations can be found on the Web, most of which say “anonymous,” but it is sometimes attributed to Ebby Rose, Art Davis, G.A. Davis, Marian Johnson, Len Ingebrigtsen, Mary Ellen Garrett Ince, and Phyllys R. Burchill. Can anybody tell me for sure who wrote the original, and prove it?"
.
"Note added later: Mike Halloran emailed me the following: “According to Pete Seeger’s autobiography, he learned that the writer was a newspaper man. He contacted the author to offer him credit and royalties for the song. The man refused both wishing to remain anonymous. Pete Seeger claims to be the only one who knows the true identity of the author.” I guess that settles it. It’s anonymous!"

"... John E Denham (Published 1949)"
.
And many more sources but NONE of the top 20 sources mention George Burns.

Yoga makes me feel energized & light in a sense. It also helps me stay extra limber 😉

I’m blushing thank you, kindly my dear. I greatly appreciate your compliments. I recently started meditating it’s hard to, do as a single Super Mamacita it’s my goal to achieve balance in life. Yoga today & Pilates tomorrow. I stay active. I have a home gym with a treadmill that I enjoy the iFit app. I also walk & run my pitbull daily.  Today was 5 miles, and yesterday was 6. Roller skating with my kids life is good. I would love to meet you in the future. I welcome all kind souls. Sending you love & positive vibes. Xoxo
