I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It’s all a question of how I view my life.

Just Be Glad ~ Poem about Hope
Just Be Glad
James Whitcomb Riley
O heart of mine, we shouldn’t
Worry so!
What we’ve missed of calm we couldn’t
Have, you know!
What we’ve met of stormy pain,
And of sorrow’s driving rain,
We can better meet again,
If it blow!
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known,
When our tears fell with the shower,
All alone!—
Were not shine and shower blent
As the gracious Master meant?—
Let us temper our content
With His own.
For, we know, not every morrow
Can be sad;
So, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears,
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just be glad.
Today’s Quote on Discovering Your Treasure
The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.
Four Things ~ Poem by Henry Van Dyke
Four Things
by Henry Van Dyke
Four things a man must learn to do
If he would make his record true:
To think without confusion clearly;
To love his fellow-men sincerely;
To act from honest motives purely;
To trust in God and Heaven securely.
“Heaven Haven” Poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins
Heaven Haven
I HAVE desired to go
Where springs not fail,
To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail
And a few lilies blow.
And I have asked to be
Where no storms come,
Where the green swell is in the havens dumb,
And out of the swing of the sea.
By: Gerard Manley Hopkins
