Greetings all of my wonderful people on here!! =0) Well I usually read into the poem and send you all something to think about. Well I am pretty sure this one today covers that. Go out today and live your life to the fullest and share something with one person that can not pay you back with anything but a smile and a thank you. Much love to you all! =0)
Life Is a Gift (Poem)
Today before you think of saying an unkind word – Think of someone who can’t speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food – Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife – Think of someone who’s crying out for a companion.
Today before you complain about life – Think of someone who went too early to heaven/hell.
Before you complain about your children – Think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn’t clean or sweep – Think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive – Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job – Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another – Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one Maker.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down – Put a smile on your face and thank — you’re alive and still around.
Life is a gift – Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, And Fulfill it!

Usually I'm not one for super-mushy feel-good stuff like this. That said, there was one line in there that did it for me...and so I thank you for the whole thing. :flowerforyou:0
