Shortly after my dear, sweet husband died suddenly last year, I resurrected the following rhyming poem I had written to kickstart me on the second half of my life (as long as medical science cooperates until I reach the ripe old age of 148 years). Hopefully, it will be just as jam-packed as our marriage was, with all kinds of new and thrilling adventures, similar to the life that we shared for almost 50 years together…a true remembrance of my husband’s spirit.
Be Proud of Yourself
By Terry
When you’re feeling down,
And you don’t know why.
Take a deep breath,
And give this trick a try:
Write down your strengths,
Then read them aloud.
Hearing all that you’re good at,
Should make you very proud.
So be proud of yourself
And all you have done.
Now go out and add to that list…
One by one.
