Had you trodden a different path,
Life sweeter might have been;
And riches might have come your way,
With every day serene.
Dream not of yesteryears, I say,
But make the utmost of today.
What's the weather like today where you live? Is it bright and sunny, or is it overcast and dull like it is where I live. A dark, foggy morning can often cause a bit of depression in the kitchen, where chores must be done, or in the office, where nobody feels like singing. But, of course, such circumstances are a challenge, aren't they. Here are a few lines by Viney Wilder which may help us make it through those dull days.
Do the job that lies before you'
Keep your courage one more day.
You can never guess how often
You affect some other life
By the fact that you're a doer,
Not a quitter, in the strife.
Just say a little word today
That brings a happy smile.
Just do a little kindness which
May warm some heart a while.
Just share the burden, if you may,
Of someone on the road today.
Life is better when you are helping others. It warrms both your heart and theirs and makes everyone's day a little more pleasant, and the gift you give to others gets passed on.
Have a wonderful, wonderful day, no matter what the weather where you are.
