'naysayers'

Do you remember the naysayers? They were rooting for you to fail To give up after the first failed attempt You didn't You pressed on You pushed through You had to let go Of a few people and a few things Those lessons were learned It didn't bring you to your knees to remain It assisted you to find your strength When you were on your knees You were in the perfect position To talk with your Master Yielding and restoring Gathering resources to try again When you look back It will be in amazement You got some roadblocks You had to take some detours But the space you are in today Is ten times more rewarding Than the time spend surrounded by naysayers Continue on your journey

Sometimes you just have to bring your gloves up to your chin, tuck in your elbows nice and tight to the waist, roll, roll, roll with the punches - And take your lumps! Such is life at times. I applaud your philosophy, Wilma. My best regards! :) john

I love your positive attitude, Wilma! Some people fall, but are unable to find the strength to rise up; on the contrary you did, and found your reward! #7 ~ Regards // paul
