When I was a kid , my dad used to sing an old song , “ Pack up your Troubles,” while working in the morning . The song plays in my head often
36 I’m packing for a trip --- “ Pack up your
37 in your old kit bag and smile , smile , smile .” Lately , with regulations(rules) 38 daily , packing my kit bag with clothes and toothbrush seems
39 like trouble than fun , fun , fun .
For my friend , Vikki , though ,

45 , I’m not as sentimental(多愁善感的) about Vikki’s collection as she is , but on a trip two years ago , I

52 the enormous happiness Vikki must feel
53 . With all the rules today about what
54 can’t bring on a flight , maybe we’d all be a little more
55 if we focused on the things we can bring and make sure they are what make us happy or at least smile , smile , smile .
