Keep on Keepin’ On<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

If the day looks kinder gloomy,<\/p>\n

An’ your chances kinder slim!<\/p>\n

If the situation’s puzzlin’<\/p>\n

An’ the prospect’s awful grim,<\/p>\n

An’ perplexities keep pressin’<\/p>\n

Till all hope is nearly gone,<\/p>\n

Jus’ bristle up an’ grit your teeth<\/p>\n

An’ keep on keepin’ on.<\/p>\n

Fumin’ never wins a fight,<\/p>\n

An’ frettin’ never pays<\/p>\n

There ain’t no good of broodin’ in<\/p>\n

These pessimistic ways \u2014<\/p>\n

Smile just kinder cheerfully<\/p>\n

When hope is nearly gone,<\/p>\n

An’ bristle up an’ grit your teeth,<\/p>\n

An’ keep on keepin’ on.<\/p>\n

There ain’t no use in growlin’<\/p>\n

An’ grumblin’ all the time,<\/p>\n

When music’s ringing everywhere<\/p>\n

An’ everything’s a rhyme \u2014<\/p>\n

Jus’ keep on smilin’ cheerfully,<\/p>\n

If hope is nearly gone,<\/p>\n

An’ bristle up an’ grit your teeth,<\/p>\n

And keep on keepin’ on.<\/p>\n

It’s gonna be okay. Take a deep breath in…hold it.. let it go…then stand up and get busy doing the things that will get you closer and closer to accomplishing a goal. As you move along see if you can’t find someone you can do a small act of service for – that’s a great pick-me-up.\u00a0 And smile – it makes you look better.\u00a0 Things WILL get better…all you gotta do is put one foot in front of the other to move forward…always, always, always keep moving forward.<\/p>\n

Remember to SMILE \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
