When spirits are low
Laughter is the finest cure
Take your medicine

Lessons not failures
See the opportunities
Toggle your viewpoint

Waves crash on shingle
Salty sea-spray fills nostrils
Blue-grey skies darken

Smiles in the sunshine
So much to be thankful for
Keep that front of mind

Soft sand underfoot
Brisk wind blows but sun shines bright
Together we walk

All calm in the woods
A stream flowing gently by
All cares flow with it

The path by the shore
Changing each day with the tide
Yet still the same path

To learn is to grow
Time to put it to good use
Share the benefit

Don’t drag up the past
Leave the things that stung behind 
Least they weigh you down

Finish line in sight
Push hard to get there swiftly
Then time to relax

Keep up with the pace
Never lag too far behind
Then you’ll have to chase

Why make a millstone?
Breathe in, breathe out and let go
The past is done with

Inner turmoil reigns
Activity will distract
Try to keep busy

Give loved ones their due 
Tiredness if not an excuse
Time is short enough

Power lies within
You must believe in yourself
If not you, then who?
