-Take Stock And Prioritise


Sometimes we need to take stock and prioritise

Remind ourselves of what is truly of value and worth 

Have awareness and gratitude for life’s positives

Give the trivial and petty a wide berth


Humans are suffering absolute devastation

War, natural disasters, or just in daily life

Unjust …. without reason 

Complete loss, despair and sorrow runs rife


We need to remember our blessings

Blow the insignificant into the wind and let it fly

Stop stressing over the unimportant small stuff

We need to take stock and prioritise!

Great advice Deb, someone once said to me, what's the last but one thing you worried about, I couldn't answer. Live life to the full or your book of life will have pages of regret. Enjoy your weekend. Tom
