can you imagine

Sophie is wallowing in the despair of her furlough
it suits her; she enjoys pain, anguish and disappointment.
Her sister Henrietta tries to instill hope, but her attempts are thwarted.
Some people choose the land of depression over everything else.
Sophie is a professional at this; she has made a career out of it.
No one has had more car wrecks, accidents or mishaps at work.
It would be impossible to find someone more desperate to glean gloom.
Henrietta is a Pollyanna, a quintessential optimist., wasting her time.
The other sisters giggle about this behind her back, not realizing….
She is doing the work of the angels; what we should all be doing.
The universe is here to inspire, uplift and alleviate stress.
Can you imagine how terrific this world would be if we all inspired hope?
