Be Encouraged

When you’re feeling down 
You must look up
For looking at the ground 
Can get you stuck

The glass is half empty 
It is also half full
History has a plenty
Of falls from bull

But it’s how you persevere
That really matters dear
Not that you can’t fear
Not that others don’t cheer

Just because it’s hard
Doesn’t mean it isn’t from God
Chin up be of strong heart
Remember Who’s you are

Hi Karen...I took my mom to the doctor today. There was a Learning graph in the Dr.'s office that showed three bars....Learning from theory, Learning from doing, and Learning from Mistakes. Guess which one is shown to lead to the most gain? I do love how you are providing therapy through poetry. It means you are a giving person and have definitely benefitted from your own learning. You know what is really most important!! Kudos! Smiles! and Best wishes!!
