Advice

My advice to everyone

learn to laugh at yourself,

your sense of humor will improve

and it’s also good for your health.

Breakdown and cry at a movie

or maybe a nostalgic song,

you must excercise your emotions

if in this world you’re to get along.

Try and be a listener

you’ll make somebody’s day,

you might even be surprised

they may have something to say.

Stay in tune with your Higher Power,

be it Buddah, Mother Nature, or God;

you must praise and pray daily

you’re blessed to have a road which to trod.

Embrace each day you’re given

for too quickly they are gone,

and let love and acceptance

be your advice to everyone.

The Line

You must excercise your emotions. I really love this line doc and I think exercising them is all about allowing yourself to feel them without inhibition :-) Thanks Doc, Mark ps did you get directions on uploading a picture because I tried to message you but - am blocked?
