Things with me ?

And Things with me?
Things with me these days are such …

As she woke up this morning, and drew open the curtains, rather in the manner of some important functionary unveiling a statue, a golden glow filled the room.
As she lay there, watching the sunlight and thinking of this and that, it was not long before her thoughts began to drift in a conflicting direction. And then, that is when she had a feeling that she was trying to be heard in the drowsy stillness, the skies had turned from blue to grey, the horizon had become dark with unwholesome-looking clouds, and the wind was blowing with a gradually increasing force, the air cried a shrill melancholy wail…

She is certain, this semester is jinxed,
Her emotions to this are mixed;

She has taken everything so lightly,
Her behaviour seems so ghastly; !

It would all be pardoned only if she had a job that paid,
Or it would suffice, even if she were doing some trade; !

But alas! Such is not the case,
Things are still quite a haze;

She is sinking in the boat of recession,
The air seems so full of tension;

Has all the time in the world to pass,
'Coz she hardly goes to school or attends any class;

Soon, her breakfast, being had a few minutes later, brought about the restoration of her sense of well-being. So pronounced was the optimism engendered by the food, it seemed to her that she had been allowing the world’s menace to agitate her unnecessarily. She was having a sense of having passed through the valley of the shadow and somehow scrambled back safely to the other side.
She is not losing all her hope,
She would like to believe there is still some scope..!!

Haha..!!

u have the positive attitude which will bring success to u.here i would like to tell a poem which i had read recently,

Life can seem ungrateful ~ and not always kind.
Life can pull at your heartstrings ~ and play with your mind.
Life can be blissful ~ and happy and free.
Life can put beauty ~ in the things that you see.

Life can place challenges ~ right at your feet.
Life can make good ~ of the hardships that we meet.
Life can overwhelm you ~ and make your head spin.
Life can reward those ~ determined to win.

Life can be hurtful ~ and not always fair.
Life can surround you ~ with people who care.
Life clearly does offer ~ its ups and its downs.
Life's days can bring you ~ both smiles and frowns.

Life teaches us to take ~ the good with the bad.
Life is a mixture ~ of happy and sad.

So...

Take the life that you have ~ and give it your best.
Think positive, be happy ~ let God do the rest.
Take the challenges ~ that life has laid at your feet.
Take pride and be thankful ~ for each one you meet.

To yourself give forgiveness ~ if you stumble and fall.
Take each day that is dealt you ~ and give it your all.
Take the love that you're given ~ and return it with care.
Have faith that when needed ~ it will always be there.

Take time to find the beauty ~ in the things that you see.
Take life's simple pleasures ~ let them set your heart free.
The idea here is simply ~ to even the score.
As you are met and faced with ~ Life's Tug Of War.
