Whack the Whine! Are you a grunter or a groaner Emitting heavy sighs, a moaner? As you go about your day Do you gripe all along the way? Have you noticed how folks scatter As you approach with gloomy chatter? Did you think they just got busy As they scamper from your tizzy? Perhaps your knight wears rusted armor Have you noticed you’re no charmer? Perhaps your paycheck’s somewhat lacking Has it occurred you may be slacking? And as long as you’re confessing Do you ever count your blessings? Or would such tallies interfere With the complaints you hold so dear? You have a home, your job, good health, Someone to care – why, you have wealth! To live is to encounter strife From where I stand – you’ve a great life!! (to me... from me... a reminder *G*) |

Shouldn't we all, shouldn't we all.... takin' 'em to heart, dear lady! Goodness knows you've had need of 'em lately, but everybody needs a dose of this medicine, and when you write the RX, it goes down easy. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

You, a whiner, Suthern? You certainly hide it very well - which negates your being a whiner! So whê! Got you on that one! Enjoyed your poem, though, Suthern. Thanks, I needed it for me. - Owl |

Owl: I wrote this poem a couple of months ago when ALL my pen wanted to ponder was sorrow... It's always been fond of darker tones... but at a time when it was taking everything I had to stay upright after multiple losses, I wasn't exactly appreciative of its need to wallow. *G* Not only was writing this reprimand easier than the contortions of trying to kick my own rear... it also gave my pen an acceptable occupation that kept it from being tossed in the nearest garbage can. LOL Thank you so much for liking!! *S* |

Beloved one, I agree with Margie girl YOU ROCK. Why oh why isn't this pinned to everyone's noticeboard? For it should be, and I count YOU as one of my blessings, for you are a blessing in my life and I thank you for the delight of having your soul brushing against mine whenever I need a lift. Like you forever Mushy x x x Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds but I can face the future with courage brave and bold Footprints In My Heart Kethry [This message has been edited by Marsha (03-02-2006 11:20 AM).] |

Yeppers! You did 'goooood', suthern! Well done! I've had these very same thoughts about myself at times, and have had to kick myself for putting others (and myself) through it! THIS IS A KEEPER! (How many of yours do I have now?) Smiling at you! I read your other recently posted poem, too and absolutely loved it! cathy |

Hugs gal, thanks for this.  seek the flame within yourself |

Had to bring this back again! The honest truth and THANK YOU! I have thought similar thoughts but never had the gumpsion to tell it like it is! I believe I held the card on whining at one time during history, but I finally got tired of all the babying. I do understand it! LOVE THIS and will keep it with the treasury. miscellanea |
