Grin And Bear It

 The woes of the day,

Can get us down.

Let not your temper

Cause any dismay.

 

A caustic word,

A push or two,

Creates an anger,

In me and you.

 

So grin and bear it,

Not easy to do.

We all become testy,

When pride is on the line.

Words to live by in my current state of being permanently fatigued and totally wrung out. I must be such a total PAIN I'm doing my very best to be nice to everyone around me. It's bad enough feeling permanently unwell; I don't want to end up ALONE as well! Keep smiling that gorgeous smile, G, and you'll get away with anything! :) xx

It happens all too often… Especially when women are concerned. Say something innocuous or nice and suddenly you got an argument on your hands for saying the "wrong" thing. I'm with Jane on this (and you, too). I just grin and bare it. ;-)

Famous quote… "When all else fails, give them the moon."
