Advice

Not preaching just giving myself some advice!
 Thankyou all who pointed out my spelling mistake privately I do appreciate and I think all on GW are getting used to my dreadful grammar!



Surround yourself with smiles and those you know you like
Surround yourself with kindness and with fun
Why hang out with people who drain you till you're worn
Why hang out with negative and glum
 
Feed yourself with pure and natures given fruit
Feed yourself with goodness that is ripe
Why indulge in pleasures that only do you harm
Why indulge in chemicals and shite
 
Give yourself the compliments and time that you deserve
Give yourself a break and have a rest
Why neglect your happiness by giving it away
Why neglect yourself when you know best

Just now I am feeling so "down" and it's not like me. It has been one thing on top of another today and also a very good friend has died. Your poem is like a good glass of wine Punchy, warming you from the inside out. Thanks a million. xxx

A solid piece of verse, Paula, with a very positive attitude;that final line being the sting. 
But don't we all indulge in pleasures that do us harm? 
 
All the best and cheers

Don't we just, if only I could listen to my own advice. 
Oh well have a good evening. Tonight I'm all out of chocolate but on the Argentine Malbec! x

Some of us are so hard on ourselves, we need to learn how to take care of our physical and mental health and be nice to ourselves sometimes. You caught that very well. 
 
The people at the end of your first verse are known in the company I work for as "cynical terrorists". Down with them! 
 
A very refreshing read!
Clink, Paula,
