Remember that line? Who doesn’t remember that poor-is-me attitude.  We’ve all had it.

Some hours are like, some days are like that.  And who are we kidding, some YEARS

are like that.  But, the difference will be is when we hear

the clunk of that rock and the jolt of the weight of it

in our sacks 

and we look down

in the bag to see what was handed to us,

our reaction–

What will I do with this rock?

Will I look at the rock as a blessing….

or a curse?

A sock in the nose…

or an opportunity to grow, to soar and to get stronger.

When you’ve done all you can to stand, then

simply dig in your heels and

STAND. 

Stand with your bag of rocks

and think of them as jewels.  Come on,

dream, and dream big.

Those rocks are turning into diamonds

and rubies and sparkling emeralds.

Jewels that made you the person you are

right now.

Stronger, wiser, able to leap above bulidings

with a single bound  : ) (showing my baby-boomer age).

You get the picture.

Take your rocks and stand up.

The load will have made you strong.

And if it is too heavy, there is One

who said, Hand me your rocks,

I’ll carry them for you.

Have a wonderful, Happy Pumpkin Day!
