A Little Encouragement for Your Day

When Things go wrong...

The family that seems to be most talked about these days aren't the 'Smith's' or the 'Jones', it's the Stress family. They are everywhere and on everyone's lips.

It's more rampant in the workplace and in homes. The doctor surgeries, hospital wards and mental institutions provide accommodation for them on a daily basis. It is such a buzz word that no-one takes notice anymore when someone says "I'm a little depressed today" or "I'm so stressed out".

Then suddenly, the same person you shared a desk with yesterday is now off work with a doctor's note saying that he/she is suffering from depression. The same friend you shared a meal with last week now has a new home in the mental institution and that 'A' student you read about in the newspaper is thinking of suicide from all the pressures he got at home of making the 'A' grades.

Some say: 'A little amount of stress is good for you'. However, if that small amount of stress is not managed, like anything in life with no form of organisation, it can easily get out of control.

No one is exempt, for stress is everywhere but here's a little encourager I came across a few weeks ago in a mothers' calendar given to me for 'Mother's Day'. I'd like to share it with you. A little reference to turn to when things aren't going as well as you would like and also a reminder never to give up.

Be Encouraged.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seem all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest, if you must - but don't you quit!
