    • 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

      This post has been written in response to the Daily Post Challenge: Success

      Ultimately the one thing that I wish to accomplish with my words, whether it is through the blog or from within a children’s book, is to use words to teach a child and parents how to treasure life and live with gratitude.

      No matter how sad, poor, or unhappy a day may seem there is always something within that day to be grateful for. It is never easy to look past our own hurts and needs but if you make it a point to do this you will always find that there is someone out there, and often times many people out there, who are suffering more greatly than you.

      The greatest thing my heart longs for is to teach children to live positively, be thankful, kind, compassionate to others, forgiving when they are treated with less than these, and most importantly to be confident in who they are as a person. “Only you are you” It is OK to be unique:)

      Although I may never know if I am successful, I pray that my efforts will touch others in a positive way.

      With respect, hope, joy and love,  Carmela
