When I was young my mother would recite
"There was a little girl, she had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good, she was very, very good
But, when she was bad she was horrid"
I think that about sums up life in general.
We have so many friends and acquaintances who are going through rough times. Be it health, finance, family ties, work or whatever I'm sure that some days they wonder when it's all going to end.
I also see the resilience of some of these folk, the "get on regardless" attitude, it's good.
This morning, skimming through "snips & snails" I came across a blog on her list - julieliveshere. I read the most amazing open letter to the person who has her wallet, give yourself a treat and read it. I will certainly be checking in on her posts when I can.
So if it's been a rough start to the year, just heed the words of the great Mr Sinatra
"Each time I find myself, flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race."
That's Life, I hope it's a good one.
Oh sweet child of mine...

Life is full of ups and downs, but I agree that we have to keep pulling ourselves up, if we fall down. What choice is there really? Nothing is forever, most things are never as bad as they seem and people are often much stronger and more resilient than they realise. When the going gets tough, we have to access those inner resources and dig deep!
I read that post and forgot to comment, so thanks for the reminder. Julie is great and very honest. She takes stunning photos too - I'm glad you found her!!
