For anyone that needs or wants some encouragement/inspiration...

Sigh

Deep breath

You made it

Another day

Whether good or bad

You got through it okay

Tomorrow is on its way

With some problems and failures

Also solutions and successes

With some real high points and real lows

But, you've got it, it's just another 24

If you don't, though, that's okay too

Some days just don't ever start

Go the way we would like

You're still alive

Good, bad or meh

You got this

Deep breath

Sigh

Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: Didn't think I was going to publish anything today, but I thought this little poem might be inspirational and encouraging for anyone that needed it at the end of this Monday.

I also was playing around and liked the fact the syllable count is 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Here, also, are a couple of others:

    ☺️👏 “Solutions and successes” - yes please. Thank u and well wishes sent your way too! That girl at the end gave me a little fright when I scrolled down. She is popping up everywhere now lol. Also I didn’t notice the syllable count - good job!!
