Once Again Spring

Promised myself, today would be a goodie
On a scale of good to bad
Some days are diamonds, some days are stone
Yesterday wasn't as good as I've had

So many things can turn it around
That really seem unimportant
Like cheery hellos from neighbours and friends
Small things are just reinforcement

For life to turn out the way you envisioned
Is up to each one of us it seems
To choose the right path and stay on the track
The result will be sugar and cream

That's not to say there won't be some times
The choice won't be yours to make
Those days are common and unavoidable
Just remember a deep breath to take

They're usually only momentary glitches
In our everyday manner of things
Just try to remember to keep a positive outlook
Won't be long till it's once again spring

Carol Eastman February 21, 2014 at 8:49 AM It was 60 degrees when the Swamp Thing came to visit yesterday! But, as I told Dragon, winters not over yet! But would Dragon believe me? NO! So he was out there bouncing around on the icy ground where the swamp had been... I think he wanted his friend back... But the swamp drained away by the time the snow was gone! But that was the best spring Thaw we've had in... well forever! Great memories! The penguins are out there frolicking again and making everyone laugh!... Life can't get any better!
