When you do something that lifts someone's spirit, you lift your own as well.

Sing your song from the roof tops. Sing out loud and clear. Sing of love and hate and war, And all that you hold dear. Let others see the beauty, That surrounds us every day; The blue of the sky, the green of the grass, And young things as they play. Remind us just how precious, Our freedom is to us, And if it isn't guarded well, How easily it's lost. Tell us of your memories, Things that made you laugh, Like when you tried to learn to rope, Was run over by that calf. Share with us your song of life, With all it's ups and downs; For when you do you'll find in life, God grants more smiles than frowns.

Yes, I believe that saying or doing something that will lift a person's spirit it will also lift your own, and definitely keeps the guilty feelings at bay if you had been nasty, mean or ugly to another. Thanks for sharing this one with us today and for dropping by my page so I could find it to read. Sara K

wonderful advice so vividly expressed. I agree...our freedom is precious and is on the verge of being lost. When lost, we can no longer safely share our song of life. That's terrifying to me. Well said and wise words, Judy. Happy New Year, Sara

Remind us just how precious, Our freedom is to us, And if it isn't guarded well, How easily it's lost--- So true, Judy-Some are disrespectful of democracy and freedom in many parts of the world. Not fun living under dictatorships. Your uplifting thoughts are filled with wisdom.
