Life can seem ungrateful - and not always kind. Life can pull at your heartstrings - and play with your mind. Life can be blissful - and happy and free. Life can put beauty - in the things that you see. Life can place challenges - right at your feet. Life can make good - of the hardships that we meet. Life can overwhelm you - and make your head spin. Life can reward those - determined to win. Life can be hurtful - and not always fair. Life can surround you - with people who care. Life clearly does offer - its ups and its downs. Life's days can bring you - both smiles and frowns. Life teaches us to take - the good with the bad. Life is a mixture - of happy and sad. So..... Take the life that you have - and give it your best. Think positive, be happy - let God do the rest. Take the challenges - that life has laid at your feet. Take pride and be thankful - for each one you meet. To yourself give forgiveness - if you stumble and fall. Take each day that is dealt you - and give it your all. Take the love that you're given - and return it with care. Have faith that when needed - it will always be there. Take time to find the beauty - in the things that you see. Take life's simple pleasures - let them set your heart free. The idea here is simply - to even the score. As you are met and faced with - Life's Tug Of War. Author Unknown
