[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]wee fabby poem for NNW & Amilucky, Sweetiepie[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]& everyone else that needs encouragement today[/FONT]
Don't Quit
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When the funds are low and the debts are high, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When care is pressing you down a bit, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Rest, if you must, but don't you quit. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Life is queer with its twists and turns, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]As every one of us sometimes learns, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And many a failure turns about, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When he might have won had he stuck it out; [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Don't give up though the pace seems slow-- [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]You may succeed with another blow. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Often the goal is nearer than, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It seems to a faint and faltering man, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Often the struggler has given up, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When he might have captured the victor's cup, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And he learned too late when the night slipped down, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]How close he was to the golden crown. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Success is failure turned inside out-- [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And you never can tell how close you are, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It may be near when it seems so far, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-- [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.[/FONT]

Thank god for pet insurance, Topsy boy not been 100% again, he had anti sickness and an antibiotic jab yesterday and an antibiotic jab and a sedative today, he has a temp and glands r up, seems to be a viral infection and thankfully not a blockage,
he is back at vets tomorrow, i'm not too worried now as he is better than what he was, he is asleep against my leg at the moment, all snuggled xxx
I'm someone who vacums whole house twice a day, i haven't done it once today as don't want to disturb toppy with the vacum, when vacum is on he chases it and pounces on it but cos of sedative (given to keep him calmer at vets) his legs r all shakey and wobbly and he will just splat on the floor.
Topsy seems to like our vet as he didn't grumble too much when he had his temp done xxx
Ohh didn't say before what caused all this was on Saturday/sunday everything toppy had came back up whole, so vet was concerned about a blockage, which it isn't thankgod xxx#JusticeForGrenfell0 -
