Poem of the Day:

               WINS

Look for the small wins 
I tell myself each day 
To keep going and bring 
Happiness-is my way 

The laundry folded and put away
The dishes aren’t done
That’s okay 
Look for the wins is all I say 

A healthy homemade meal
is what I’m proud of 
I moved my body— a run outside 
I kept my mind on the upside

I will be deliberate with the wins 
My brain needs the practice 
It can act like a cactus 
Prickly and sharp 
I don’t want the negative to take heart

I will focus on the triumphs  
Though small they maybe 
It matters to the brain, you see  

Stay optimistic
Keep cheering yourself on
Look for the wins 
You got this! Press on.
