  • When You Don’t Have a Pool And It’s Hot You Simply Make Due With What You’ve Got :)

    Life is not easy…….But it doesn’t have to be so confusing

    Focus on what is important

    Always view your glass (or bucket) as half FULL and not half empty

    Think Positive

    Find solutions that are available to you

    Pray for wisdom and positive loving solutions and act on what you feel is right

    This post was inspired from the daily prompt challenge confused

    ONE COOL DOG

    When you don’t have a pool and it’s hot

    You make due with what you’ve got

    Two front paws are cool, while the back one’s will dual

    For equal time at a shot

    I cannot dive in, and immerse myself

    Like those with lakes or ponds

    The flip side of this, that I should not dismiss

    is of fish and mud, I’m not fond

    This day in review, is a blessing, it’s true

    for I’m safe and cannot drown

    So I keep my chin up, and tell those who snicker

    I choose to only see the blessings in life that abound

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Although I am many different things to many different people, my heart wishes to be identified with God, as a child of God, an individual who prays for forgiveness, guidance, to know and share unconditional love and gratitude for life. My hopes are that my writings will help to teach gratitude for life, positivity, and an awareness for making responsible choices.

        Be positive. When life is a challenge we must keep reminding ourselves to focus on what is positive and loving 🙂
