Life throws so many things at you,
We have no choice in what comes to us
But what we do have is a choice,
A choice of how to deal with it.
So deal with it in your own way
And move on to a better life,
As life is always the better way.

Nice
Thank you.
A fine write Gold. Is thinking dangerous? Or too much of it? Well, it was, when I thought too much in 1066, then said to Harold...….heehee.
Yes thinking is dangerous, I must stop doing it one day.
Yet that choice can be so hard if all you have seen is harsh world, but to live is to put meaning into something.
Great write
Thank you Dan. That meaning in life is so wonderful.
Don't fight the things that come your way,
work with them - that's the better way.
That is the way to go Michael, always work with, not against.
Nil illegitimus carborundum innit. Or from 'The Life of Brian' - Always look on the bright side of life.
I have a plaque hanging on the wall in our dining room "ILLEGITIMI NON CARBORUNDUM".
That bright side of life is always there in spite of the problems in my life, so I always look towards it.
THNAKS FOR ANOTHER GEM UNCLE ANDY ! Love the Nocturne one of my favourite pieces of soul soothing music ! Love the advice in your elegant ODE ! To deal with situations ~ AS THEY ARISE ~ and then to move ONWARDS & UPWARDS ~ We know it makes sense ! Angela have Faith in GOD and always optimistic ! WE have no regrets and deal with situations AS and WHEN they arrive. We have planned our WEDDING for next Year (if I can extract ANGELA for AUCKLAND ~ I have booked in for a WHOLE WEEK) in an Evangelical Church ~ Honeymoon in SEVILLA and a Blessing in the Catholic Cathedral ~ Buying or renting a House in Essex and starting a Family ~ AND THEN ~ WHO KNOWS ? Much could go wrong between now & next Summer ! Your testimony & example against adversity ~ Prepares us to face everything & anything ~ with *A Wing & A Prayer* AMEN
Blessings & Joy & Peace & Love for YOU & JOYCE
Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
As the saying goes "Go with the flow" it is the only way to live.
That piece was the Chorale from Bach's Cantata 147, not a nocturne. That piece I have arranged in the past for clarinet and trumpet duet for Joyce and I. For a fun idea at one of our Churches Christmas Concerts I also arranged it for tin whistle and B flat Bass.
Our mind is a fine instrument if used on a good way. I like to stop my thinking to observe my thoughts. It is like putting your thoughts on the right direction. I would say it is for thinking with a purpose. Thanks for your poem because it made me think how to think.
Thank you marijoy, that is a great idea I only wish others in our world would stop and think.
Do the best you know how, that's how one should chose
Every time Suresh, every time.
Andy,
You’ve penned such wonderful words! You inspire us to always look at the bright side of life in spite of the problems we might have in our lives! Very inspirational! Thank you for sharing!
My love to Joyce and to you!
