Gloom begets Gloom, Happiness Creates Sunshine

Have you ever noticed the power of your own mind?

If you dwell on disappointment it is trouble you find.

If you spend your time bemoaning life’s horrible tragedies

You do nothing more than cast away all positive strategies.

If you dwell on every disappointment as if it left no hope

You find no reason to strive for happiness no matter how you grope.

Let’s take a few minutes and think on what’s good and bright.

Let us admire the blue sky or a cool autumn night.

Let us not be put down by life’s disappointments and troubles.

Dwell on the problem without considering a cure and the problem doubles.

So, let us stand up and cheer for no apparent  reason

Remember, God gave us a life to live, no matter the season.

There is something to praise him for every day of the year.

We have loved ones to care for and to hold dear.

Look for the good in everything that you see

And good will is the salvation of you and of me.
