After writing post 366
I felt the need to lift my mood (change my attitude)
So I sat down to pen a post, which might inspire my spirit to smile

And as I've achieved this short-range goal ...
By spending a moment resuscitating a positive mind set—
My spirit is eager to enjoy the sunny plans, which await me, today!
