Gershon Wolf Poet Monorhyme

Live Life Sweet

Be grateful for what you have: family, friends, the floor under your feet
Don't try to change folks: Be gracious and respectful to people you meet 
Build faith in yourself: Always try your absolute best -- repeat and repeat

John Watt January 12, 2020 at 10:49 PM Gershon, good advice from the poet! I'm especially trying to get better at the grateful part. Congrats, and do keep writing, my friend ~ John Gershon Wolf January 14, 2020 at 2:30 PM Our mental powers are so great when we employ them, I find. Charge! Full steam ahead!... Just read an article on loneliness in the AARP mag, more scientific than their usual fare, which shows how loneliness actually causes changes in brain function and inflammation throughout the body! Whoa! Positive thoughts, my friend! Cheers, Gershon John Watt January 13, 2020 at 2:06 PM You have a great attitude, Gershon. I shall try to emulate it! Gershon Wolf January 13, 2020 at 8:48 AM Thank you so much for your sincere comment, John. How are your elbows today? Feeling great?! --- Well, there's something to be grateful for... When I have knee and back pain, I focus on the elbows and the shoulders' lack of pain... Have a wonderful Monday! Warm wishes, Gershon
