There's a Blessing

To every stage there's a blessing Look on the bright side Let optimism be your guide Whenever life seem depressing Melancholy's not a healthy state It leads not to smiles but to frowns Inevitably dragging you down You alone control your mind's fate So open your eyes and rejoice See your problems as a chance As the means to enhance The life that you lead by your choice August 14 2019 Writing Challenge 2, August 2019 - Enclosed Sponsor: Dear Heart

The mind is the most powerful computer in the world yet we only use about 10% of our brain according to studies. We can make anything manifest. I agree with your words in this winning poem Gershon. Congratulations on your wonderful deserving silver medal award! : ) xxoo

Thank you for your informative, insightful comment, Connie---and congratulations to you too (!), as I see your name a couple slots above mine in the same contest with some 'lovely language!' Warm wishes, Gershon
