Kimo Therapy

So, my friend, world got you down a bit, eh?
Things just aren't going your way?
~ Well, how are your elbows? 

And how are your wrists?  How are your fingers?
How are your fists?  --O.K., you say?
Thought so!  Have a nice day!

It's all about perspective, sleepyhead
Wake up!  Quit your complaining!
~ Count your blessings instead!

Thank you for the wonderful comments I woke up to this morning on the forum! I find your poetry inspirational and value such remarks.

Gives me hope! And no problem with keeping Sphynx away from my feral female... Best wishes, Gershon

Michelle Faulkner Date: 8/8/2018 11:01:00 PM Reminds me of that saying "I was sad I had no shoes until I met a man with no feet" very sage advice here!

It's always worthwhile keeping it in mind. Best wishes, Gershon

Both of you zeroed in so well on what transpired here. Bravo, Susan. ~ Gershon

Susan Gentry Date: 8/7/2018 6:04:00 PM Great advice. Sometimes somebody will say just the thing that will hit us at the right time. This happened to me, different words of course. What a gift he gave you and you are gifting us in this poem of few words that say so much. :) Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 8/7/2018 7:44:00 PM You really zeroed in on this one, Susan. It's exactly as you expressed it. Thanks for commenting. Very much appreciated! :) gw

Andrea Dietrich Date: 8/7/2018 5:41:00 PM this ROCKS!!!! (but oopsies if the person has a bad elbow, tendonitis and arthritic fingers) Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 8/7/2018 7:43:00 PM I like that "oopsies," Andrea! It's just so "there," if you know what I mean. Do you have any more of those in your arsenal? If so, please sling them at me!!! :) gw
