“DON’T QUIT”
.
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
(~)~(~)~(~)
Life is odd with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
(~)~(~)~(~)
Success is failure turned inside out,

“Solace at Sunset”
By Bob Perks
.
Life appears empty sometimes. Times like losing
a job, ending a marriage, loss of a loved one, or
financial collapse.
.
All endings. I guess that’s it. Things that end remain
empty and hard to fill, replace or let go.
.
Then how do you explain sunsets?
.
It is indeed an end to something or many things. The
day ends, the celebration concludes, the band stops

Enter the elegantly rustic, jewel-like lobby and immediately come face to face with a beach so magnificent it takes your breath away. A half mile of pearl-white sand arching in a perfect crescent, kissed by translucent turquoise water-the spectacular sight of the undulating aquamarine sea greets you from every corner of Sandals Negril in Jamaica. The lushness of the gardens, the staff’s easygoing warmth and the ever-present, soothing sound of surf - you’ll find time slipping away as you become one with the carefree Negril state of mind.
