Here's my latest rhyme! It was written near the start of the pandemic and addresses the importance of gratitude during difficult times.

[Bette Pounds @bettepounds]

We have to love things-and people-for who they are, without hoping they will change, since they do not.

[Francisco Ribeiro @fraveris]

"if only these treasures were not so fragile as they are precious and beautiful."

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe,
The Sorrows of Young Werther

José Mongrell Torrent (1870-1937, Spain)

Yes, rejection hurts, so don't linger on it; switch you focus to the many things that you're grateful for, and get busy with a new "project."

[*Barely Around Elven Napper @mims_words]

Rejection hurts, whether it be via text, via email, or in the form of food that does everything in its power to exit your body as quickly as possible.

The man needs a little gratitude in his life!

[Emir Han @RealEmirHan]

“The life of an individual is a constant struggle, and not merely a metaphorical one against want or boredom, but also an actual struggle against other people. He discovers adversaries everywhere, lives in continual conflict and dies with sword in hand.”

Arthur Schopenhauer

[Harry Petsanis @harrypetsanis]

"If you truly wish to see things for what they are, you must clear your mind of every preconceived thought, opinion, and expectation. Clarity of mind comes from seeing things for what they are, not how you want to see them." #sundayvibes #SundayMotivation #SundayThoughts #Wisdom

Despite the dreariness of days on end at home, I'm looking hard for things to be grateful for-and finding them! It definitely helps my mood.

[A.A.Milne @A_AMilne]

Piglet was sitting on the ground blowing happily at a dandelion, and wondering whether it would be this year, next year, sometime, or never. He discovered that it would be never, and tried to remember what 'it' was, hoping it wasn't anything nice. ~A.A.Milne #EasterWeekend

Maybe there is something worse than vanished dreams...losing the will to dream again.
