You Never Gave Up

You'll Be Glad

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
You Really Will

"Soon,

when all is well,

you're going to look back on this period of your life

and be so glad

that you never gave up".

Have you ever done this?

Gone through a 'difficult' time,

looked back at it

and felt proud of yourself

because you never gave up

and you are here today to prove that.

Maybe it was an illness,

looking after a loved one when they are ill,

had to study for a new job,

or just generally gone through a very difficult time (a divorce, bullying, etc),

and at the time -----

life just seemed impossible,

you just cannot see tomorrow.

Take each day as it comes,

going through life almost like 'remote'

and then comes that one day

when --- relief --- it has 'resolved itself'

or you have stepped in

to 'put things right' (if you can).

How good do you feel?

You got through that,

you deserve that pat on the back,

well done (with little treat for yourself).

Smile and feel that happiness.

We are Alive today,

we should be proud of that,

we should be glad

because something nice has or will happen ---

just for us!

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
