Bringing you a smile

It's becoming mighty difficult to stay upbeat and content with ones own life, when there is so much mayhem going on all over the place. This poem comes to mind. I have never read it all the way through, but wow, how it resonates with me now. 

If by Rudyard Kipling.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

I won't post it all the way through but you can find it on this link.

I can understand why people do not wish to go down the path I have chosen. People have different coping mechanisms when the going gets tough. The choice is that you either face forward and march on, or join the back of the queue and hide until it all goes away. It's a bumpy ride whichever way you approach it. 

While the rest of the world is sorting itself out, we can all benefit from some light relief. Stress can be a killer, we know that. One must step off this crazy world, and take time out to laugh. 

If you are on a downer at the moment, make a drink, and settle down in a comfy chair and watch these crazy lads celebrate Christmas in their own crazy way. Go on, give it a go. Even the grumps might find a smile creeping across their face. Viewer discretion advised, they use colourful language. If you can't laugh at the odd 'fuck' now and again, you might want to give it a miss. 

Thanks for popping in. Have a good day. Toodle pip.
