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.
