Days

I have spent too many days crying for the things i do not have,
the things I did not need.
Too few days have I spent laughing for the things giv'n,
those things precious to my heart, for my soul.
Those things with wings and a life of their own,
which give to me all that I need.
Laugh then and smile for life is here now,

HI JOEY-

Beautiful heartfelt sentiments. Yes, despite the losses much has been given. Scoop it up and immerse yourself in all the goodness. :-)

Have a wonderful weekend
Love Gail
peace.....

How true, Joey.
Part of our problem is that we do not know what we really need,
and often we do not really know what we want:)

We are truly blessed. I had one of those moments this morning... brusing my teeth, I always turn off the water to try to conserve. I couldn't help but think of all the people in the world for whom clean drinking water that they could receive at will would be the best thing they could imagine.

Lucky doesn't even begin to describe me.

You breathe so much life and inspiration into your posts, I miss you when I'm away.
