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 L. Bird 
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.
😉
Merry Christmas, Shawn! Peace, joy, blessings and lots of inner sunshine to you.
Thank you! And blessings for a new year full of joy and successes to you.
You’re welcome! Thank you very much, Shawn!
Being positive brings positives. And with positivity even your rain is enjoyable to dance in. Love this! ❤️
Yes!
