Some of us
have more to contain
to be little rays of sunshine,
day to day,
but that doesn’t mean
it doesn’t do us more good
to be sunshine
than for us to complain
about our rain.

Shawn Bird is an author, poet, and educator in the beautiful Shuswap region of British Columbia, Canada. She is a proud member of Rotary.
My Dad had two expressions, “I complained because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.”
“It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.” Both of my parents were born in 1930. The Greatest Generation impacted by the Great Depression, Jim Crow and World War II. They were doers not complainers.
Happy Holidays!
Yes. There’s always someone better or worse off than you.
True.
I would feel too soggy, if I complained about rain.
