In everything you do
Notice the little things
Smile at the world around you
Purposely speak positive
Inquire how others are
Recycle and share good deeds
Envelope yourself in life

Gardener’s Recipe
Strengthen those hands
In the soil of the earth
Let them not hang down
To touch feeble knees
But let them cultivate
Tender shoots of Life
To growth and maturity
And cause the knees to bend
In prayer that the the feet may
Walk on paths so straight
Where the lame won’t fall
But be healed and seek
Peace with all

Common Cliches
“Just grin and bear it!”
“Put on a smile and wear it!”
“Cheer up! That’s just life!”
Cliches meant to uplift us,
Are often cause for more strife.
