look on the brigther side

when life seems overwhelming
& you can't seem to get
everything done..
where there isn't enough time
to relax & enjoy..
when there is little reward
for all your efforts &
you wonder if it's all worth it,
if this is what life is all about,
& if this is what the future
holds in store..

try to keep a positive attitude by looking
for the little blessings that happen
every day yet often go unnoticed.
keep your mind open to humorous situations,
because humor can rescue you
from being overwhelmed.
& never forget that there are people
who love & care about you;
people who want to help & support you
through life's difficult times;
people who think you're pretty special;
people who care a whole lot about you..
