In all our lives we keep on looking,
Looking for those many things
That we feel we need.
The search goes on and on,
Those things we want
Never seem to be there.
But what we need to realise
Is that it is important that we look
We look at what we’ve got,
What we have got in our lives,
And not at what we haven’t.

So true
Answers some questions that keep me awake
I shall not let go of what I have
Maybe I may not have it tomorrow
Thanks a lot dear Andy
We must keep and love the things we have in our lives spilleronsheet, they are so very important to us.
Andy
And what we have achieved in overcoming all those bricks that life threw our way..... How we as elders take pride in being what we have become.... How we have the wherewithall to accept what is ahead for us...
So true d a. Experience has shown us the way to go.
Andy
Yes Gold !! Before we complain of what we don't have, lets pay gratitude for what we Do have !!
Said popularly , I complained of Bad shoes, till I saw a Man with No legs !! Strikes me always ...
There are things we see that make us so grateful for what we have. Thank you for your words VS.
Andy

My absolute pleasure Lorna, yes we have had so much pleasure in our lives that we can look back on them with love.

Amen!
(look at the warmth
in your home, before
gazing, wishfully
upon those greener mirages
at your double glazed
and rain stained, window)
Very true Mek. Thank you.

“We look at what we’ve got,
What we have got in our lives,
And not at what we haven’t.”

Thank you Neville for flying into a wonderful world.

Your right …. But I think that if and when we go through difficult things , it’s then that we want the more … sadness trauma , for example we know we deserve more than that . And because we are in pain , we want the ‘ more ‘ … always something to be grateful for tho
Nice poem anyhow )
Life can be that way but I have come through the passing of my wife and the way I look at it this way, when we lose someone we love, we must learn not to live without them, but to live with the love they left behind.
Andy
A truth of life. The half full/empty glass. Very true Andy.
