Never Give Up
January 22, 2026
By Rose Marie Rideout
Sometimes when we're feeling gray,
And don't know what we can do all day.
Some of us want nothing to do,
Because inside we're feeling blue.
Never give up, brighter days ahead,
So find that energy, get out of bed.
Wash and dress, be sure to smile,
You'll feel much better for a long while.
Make your bed, wash a dish or a few,
It will help make you feel brand new.
Never give up, think of a better time,
Remember happiness deep in your mind.
Look around you, what do you see,
They're here for you, friends and family.
Never give up, believe in yourself,
Accept what they offer, all of their help.
Never give up, you can make it through,
Always have strength, to believe in you.
It may take time, but soon you'll see,
Accepting help, your life will be happy.
NEVER GIVE UP
You're right about one of the best things one can do while depressed is to continue a healthy routine that will take your mind away from what is bothering you.
And sometimes healthy routines turn into profitable ventures for those who are talented in one way or another.
