Stay Strong !

Smile And Laugh

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
To be Positive is the reality today.

"When life gives

you a hundred reasons to break down and cry,

show life

that you have a thousand reasons

to smile and laugh.

Stay Strong!"

We live in a world

which is going through a very difficult time at the moment.

The news is constantly telling us what is happening,

not just in our own country,

but worldwide also,

and the news is not always very good to listen to.

But ---

we need to know

what is going on around us.

So

just when we are feeling sad

because another war has started

or another pandemic is coming towards us

or we're all caught up in the cost of living crisis ---

Stand Your Ground!

Don't let the 'world' around you

destroy the peace within you,

draining you of any hope.

There Is Hope!

It is in OUR Hands!

There is 'only' a hundred reasons to break down and cry ---

but

There Is a thousand reasons to smile, laugh and be happy.

One of them is this beautiful planet we live on ---

The Earth.

It's Natural Beauty

gives us Strength

every single day

and it is up to us

to stand still and look at that Strength,

drawing it into us

and building ourselves up

both mentally and physically.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
