Solutions


As the world is in turmoil with no end in sight
It comes down to the simple that make everything alright
Whether it is in nature or something inside,
the key is to find them waiting, they don't hide
Also gratitude primarily is a way to survive
There are endless things to be grateful for alive
The things we can't control, leave us feeling helpless
But in our own way, we can create happiness
It's not that the bad things suddenly disappear
It's about coping, healing and holding onto life so dear

Life is indeed precious Heidi, why can't everyone love and respect one another. Sadly the haters and warmongers are everywhere. Hope your week is going well. Tom

Perfectly stated, Heidi. Inspiring as can be. Attitude turns a problem into a challenge, a frown into a smile, and sometimes even an enemy into a friend. FAVing this one. Thanks, Gershon
