"Open the Wings of your Heart" one I meant to post before the turning of the year.

It is often difficult to be open at this time of year. We tend to
Reserve our loving, generous hearts for those closest to us;
Our friends and family.
Even then, a plethora of factors
Create a sense of reserve; a reticence toward letting
Others
“Inside The Castle”.
~
Do not let this happen.
Be Sure to fling the doors of your heart
Open Wide,
Then all you meet can share in your
Warmth, your
Laughter and Happiness;
You’ll find that you will
Have far more happiness,
Once you've shared yours.
~
Don’t shut out the opportunities each day
Brings you to serve others.
Take in what the Day gives you,
Good and Bad, and make it
Into a good day, no matter what.
I KNOW
You can do it, I know I can do it.
We’ve all had our share of misfortune, and
We’ve come through it with flying
Colors; so why not use those as a
Template for surpassing all the
Unfortunate Occurrences we
Face each day.
You know, of course, the cliché about
“When life gives you Lemons, make it into Lemonade.”
You should
Do that.
