Photo From Webshots ~~**~~ My day will be what I make of it and how I cope with what it may bring Whatever the situation that arises it is my choice to cry or sing If someone says something to me that does not feel just right It is my choice whether or not we will discuss it or will fight If they decide they want to fight or if a discussion comes about I will still be the one to decide if I want to talk or to shout If I prefer to discuss but still a shouting match occurs No-one else can determine my tone or how I will choose my words I have no control of the weather if I shall see sunshine or rain Yet I still have control on what I dwell on that turns into pain So my days will be what I make of them no-one else will decide for me If I choose to make them sad or if I fill them up with glee ~~**~~ |

Dear precious Ethel Mae, may your days be full of "glee" as you are most deserving, Sweet Kind One! You truly are the master of your own destiny and are at the helm of your ship as it sails through life! Ships ahoy! Love you! Linda Lou |

You are so right, dear Ethel! It's so important to be aware of this. Great write. One of my senryus comes to mind: Life flows placidly we have the choice to be free to cry or to laugh Thank you for sharing your wisdom and beauty. Love, Margherita |

I think we need to make Ethel our motivational speaker. Not only does she shine in her positive attitude but she does it in rhyme. Wise words poetess. I am sure of my reasons, embracing the seasons, |
