Boulder or Pebble, Your choice.
A trouble is like a stone:
Bring it up to your eye and it blocks out everything before you.
Hold it at arms length and it can be recognized in it's true context.
Throw it at your feet and it will be seen for what it truly is,
just another pebble on the pathway of life.
*** Paraphrased from something I read years ago by an unknown author***
Placed here for your consideration, for it has served me well through my life.

I will! I use to have something like this. More of a quote though. But I kept it close to me during rough times. It was amazing the power of a few words tied together...

Very true. Not even worth kicking it aside, but still satisfying when you do...

Wise are the words of the poet. The act can be soothing to the mind. At times I have metaphorically, looked like a soccer player. :-)
Thanks for the visit. JJ
