I Want to Enjoy My Sunny Days

Sometimes you get an unexpected compliment of sorts. Take my brother-in-law. He's not that kind of a guy who's going to really let you know something's good, and that's not to say that my song, Sunny Days, IS good. It was just a fun little exercise that I never intended to "release," but based on the comments I got from him and others whom I shared it with, decided to put it out on all the major streaming platforms. "Who is this from?" he asked. I was curious so instead of answer him first, I asked him, "Why?" "I like it," he said, "and I was just curious to have a listen to the original." "I wrote it," I admitted. He seemed surprised. It's not even his kind of music. Hell, it's not even my kind of music. But it was nice to get the compliment, especially coming from him, who would be the last person in the world I'd think would ever offer one.

Thank you. It's a fun way to pass the time sometimes. Always done for my own personal enjoyment, but of course, I do like to sometimes share what I do.

Sometimes the best compliments are indirect.

This was definitely indirect. It did make it "different." At least in my mind.

Quite a bit. More of it from outside my neck of the woods. But I enjoy what I do anyway.

I quite like it. It is indeed something I would listen to whilst smoking a joint and having a Jim Beam

It was. Coming from him, it just seemed to have a bit more "genuineness" to it.

It must have felt nice to get a compliment from someone who is stingy with complimenting
