Under Fire
When Superman Isn't Around
We are here on the ground
Finding a day to day struggle
Even the little things that become a hassle
There is much we can do
To keep our spirits up
Pull ourselves together
As if we were made out of cotton
Put each piece in place
One sinks into the other
After awhile we see some progress
Things can get messy
We are not perfect and never claimed to be
Look around and see what we have
Not just all the material things in our life
The people that make up are our family
Don't forget our friends
Each person has their own faults
We love them just the same
So as I go to work and try to think of ways to stretch my last dollar
I also know I am not alone
There are times when work becomes a hassle
There are also those times where work becomes my haven
Where I can do my job and meet people who I have known for years
I receive comfort and friendship
Will everything change drastically tomorrow
I doubt it very much
I do know each day is better than the one that came before
Because we are smarter
We are wiser than just a few minutes ago
As we take on life
Life gives back
In so many areas we fail to notice
Over time things will surface
The job that I do today
Will help me
Leading me to a better and brighter tomorrow
So for all those who are struggling with issues they have not solved
I hear you
I am giving my all time best and so can you

Dora Weithers I am not afraid to make a mistake because I know it is only a matter of time until the mistakes become less and less. I wish more people could spend the time to offer assistance to so many other people when they are in need of help. We could create a network of problem solving techniques that can be used over and over again. They can be revised and bring about real joy in the toughest times of our lives. We all can be working models for a better day and a better life. Thank you so much for reading and caring. Even if my words stop at the end of this line my gratitude and warm hugs will always continue. Have a beautiful day.

John Hansen When things don't go as expected we have to figure out a new way. Sometimes it takes time, creativity and patience. I always look back and say no matter what has happened in my life I have made it here. There were many times I didn't have the answer and little by little it worked out. In the end I became a better person because of it. I know things will get better for you too. I can make suggestions and think of ways you might not of thought of. Feel free to e-mail me and I have a few of my own problems that need to be fine tuned. To feel better I take a walk in nature and relax it sets my mind free. Then sometimes a new idea comes to me. Thank you for sharing and caring. Have a beautiful Sunday.

Michael-Milec If we could be more understanding and appreciate other people more often than complaining what we don't like. I think we would all be better off. Working together on solutions instead of fighting. Thank you for reading and sharing. May you have a blessed Sunday.

We have been sent to this world in order to contribute a unique share in creating what ever is our vocation,- not two individuals has the same assignment. My belief is that everything I do is perfectly done, because it's my best . Constantly improving, learning , being content and blessed in various aspects.
