It is about to get really good!

 

We all have those days, the really hard days. The one that Rachel Green from F.R.I.E.N.D.S described as….. "today there is rock bottom, 50 layers of crap and then there is me!" For such days I have a poem (probably the only one that I know by heart) that I love, to remind myself that it is okay…..by John Greenleaf Whittier called Don’t quit. 

It goes like this:

When things get wrong, as they sometimes will,

And the road seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When all is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Because success is failure turned inside out,

The silver tint on the clouds of doubt,

And you can never tell how close you are, it may be near when it seems so far,

So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit,

Its when things go wrong, that you must not quit.

 

Now I could have copy pasted that from the internet, but I didn’t. Why you ask??

Honestly just wanted to see if still remember it word by word and also to just really let it sink into my being.

So if today is a hard day for you, be kind and gentle with yourself.💮

You are doing the best you can. Be your own best friend.

Brace yourself, because it is about to get really good.
