SPRINGS
We are springs. Everything that knocks us down is a chance to jump up even higher. Every loss is a chance to show that we can bounce back and try even harder.
Every fall is a chance to get back up and show that we won’t be kept down.
Nobody and nothing can defeat us. The only person who can defeat you is you. If you give up, you are defeated. If you persevere, you win. It really doesn’t matter what they throw at you, you are a spring and you can bounce back.
Whatever happens, keep going. If you keep bouncing back, you win!

I just quit a crummy $8.00 an hour, infrequent hours (less than 35 anyway) per hour job washing dishes up at Crater Lake National Park (here in Southern Oregon, just outside Klamath Falls). I’m 48, and the economy here SUCKS ! LOTS OF POVERTY, lots (actually, not a lot) of minimum wage jobs for $8.00, ‘infrequent hours’, and no MEDICAL BENEFITS !
My comment ? I like this ‘happiness comment’.
I needed that today - TRULY ! Thanks !
