Have a Great Week, J.S    (214-783-0443)

 Rosemary's Blessing of The Week,  

What good did it do when you frowned?  Let me ask:

Did it help you at all to accomplish your task?

Did it lighten your burden or help you along?

Did the frown that you wore make a right out of wrong?

What good did it do to be grouchy today?

Did your surliness drive any trouble away?

Did you cover more ground than you usually do?

Because of the grouch that you carried with you?

If not, what’s the use of a grouch or a frown?

If it won’t smooth a path or a grim trouble down?

If it doesn’t assist you , it isn’t worth while:

Your work may be hard, but just do it and smile.

From silly fears and from bitter tears

From foolish fights and from sleepless nights

From excessive needs and from nasty deeds

From self-made hells and from all bad times.
