Power of Appreciation

An antidote to short-temperedness

Friday, May 29, 2020

My dear friend,

How is your emotional fuse?
Friends I have asked, confide
That for no apparent reason,
They feel short-tempered and
Easily tired.

If that's the way you've been feeling,
I can assure you, 
You are NORMAL!

There are valid reasons,
(3 months of quarantine
Just might be one of them!)
The symptoms are deserving
Of self-care.

One of my best antidotes
For a short emotional fuse
Or a poor outlook,
(Besides biking!)
Is to nurture appreciation.

Gratitude really is powerful!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend,
May the wind be at your back!

Hugs,
Lin
