Making People Happy

Depression has been on my mind lately. Not because I'm depressed, but because I know some of you are and I've read your posts and I feel for you and am praying for you that something will cross your path and make you happy and put a smile on your face.
I know that isn't always easy. I remember a Bugs Bunny cartoon where he was tasked with making the owner of the mansion laugh. Everyone who didn't make him laugh died. Well Bugs set to work and when he thought all was lost, something he said or did quite unexpectedly caused the person to laugh uncontrollably.
We never know what in life is going to lift our spirits and make us smile or laugh, but I thought I would share this song with you. It's been on my mind this morning and I thought and hoped it would put a smile on your face.
For you young people you might never have heard of Jimmy Durante, but he was a great actor and also sang a few songs too. This is one of them. If the link doesn't pop like I hope it will and most of them haven't, I hope you will copy and paste it to the address bar and enjoy Make Someone Happy.
Thanks for reading and I hope it put a smile on your face.

@Drosophila I've never had that combination. I've had a poached egg, and smoked salmon, not together and never had black peppers.

Many people these days are suffering from some form of depression. Lack of money is one major cause of depression, and loneliness is another major cause of depression.

I agree. That's why it's important to make people happy if we can. Just a smile for a few minutes can be worth a lifetime.

I have met some people going through depression over here too. It is not as easy to deal with as we all think it to be. I hope they fight it off though...
Thanks for the link....

There's people going through tough times all over the world. We never know what one could be going through. Feeling sad from time to time isn't considered depression but there's people who were diagnosed as having depression and they really need support. One of my sons was diagnosed but with Faith, God, and Jesus. He is so much better now and he found something that he really enjoys. Be blessed everyone and remember to be kind.

sometimes I spend time on icanhazcheeseburgers they have funny cat and dog photos. Also there is a reddit threaded called eye bleach, all cute and sweet things that help one to forget whatever horror they just saw
but yes, the depression is strong many days.

Laughter really is the best medicine. Whenever I'd get down, Britt would do his best to make me laugh. And sometimes I'd get angry at him because I didn't feel like laughing. But he'd keep trying and eventually he'd get a laugh out of me and it really would make a difference. So these days, when I'm really down, I find something to watch to try and lighten things up. And yes, I remember Jimmy Durante! Always saying goodnight to Mrs Calabash, wherever she was! lol

It's a good catchy tune. And it does put a smile on your face.

I want to say it sounds familiar, but I'm not 100% sure. I almost feel like I've heard pieces of it before. It's a nice song to hear tonight. Thank you for sharing it with us. :)
