A poem to make you think about your situation...
We were talking about changing our situations while down at Betsy's this past week-end...and it reminded me of this poem... I told them all I would post it...it is so true...It is definitely one of my favorites! (See, we really did do other things other than "cluck"!!!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
"Doing the Remarkable" by Stanley E. Gresham, Sr.
DOING THE REMARKABLE
When it comes to meeting and conquering the negativity in your life,
Here is a key question:
What can you do, starting today, that will make a difference?
What can you do during economic chaos?
What can you do when everything has gone wrong?
What can you do when you are out of money, when you don't feel well?
And when it's all gone sour? What can you do?
Let me give the broad answer first.
You can do the most remarkable things, not matter what happens.
People can do incredible things, unbelievable things, despite the most
Impossible or disastrous cir****tances.
Here is why humans can do remarkable things:
BECAUSE THEY ARE REMAKABLE!
Humans are different than any other creation.
When a dog starts with weeds, he winds up with weeds.
And the reason is because he's a dog.
But that's not true with human beings.
Humans can turn WEEDS into GARDENS.
Humans can turn nothing into something, pennies into fortune,
And disaster into success.
And the reason they can do such remarkable things is because they are remarkable.
Try reaching down inside of yourself; you'll come up with some more of those
Remarkable human gifts.
They're there waiting to be discovered and employed.
With those gifts, you can change anything for yourself that you wish to change.
And I challenge you to do that because you can change.
If you don't like how something is going for you, change it.
If something isn't enough, change it.
If something doesn't' suit you, change it.
If something doesn't please you, change it.
YOU don't ever have to be the same after today.
If you don't like your present address, change it - You're not a tree!
If there is one thing to get excited about, it's your ability to make yourself do the necessary things, to get a desired result, to turn the negative into success.
That's true excitement.
Each one of us has been given a chance to make a difference in someone's life...Whose life are you going to touch? Remember it may be something as simple as a smile or a wave...maybe a kind word or a simple "hello".
Hugs to all - have a great week-end. I am off to New York state in the morning. I will be back on Monday. (My uncle went in to a coma this past week-end (he had cancer) and he died this morning.) Thanks for all of your prayers!
