Smile

Live life with a sense of humour 
life's only a temporary thing. 
Start each day with a welcoming smile 
and see what joy it brings.

My humor is low these days as I am having computer problems. So I'll have to buy a new one which I'm sure it's costly. Still enjoyed your poem.

Everything is better with the right attitude, John. Not an easy task, but one that helps alleviate much of the worry and stress we cause ourselves. Having a sense of humor is always a positive trait.

The only way to survive this world which seems so cold right now, is definitely to start each day with a sense of humor, count blessings etc; beautiful and profound reminder dear john, pleasure reading this
