Anything Can Be


Listen to the Mustn’ts
Listen to the mustn’ts, child
Listen to the don’ts
Listen to the shouldn’ts
The impossibles, the won’ts
Listen to the never haves
Then listen close to me–
Anything can happen, child
Anything can be. 

-Shel Silverstein

    Lynn,

    I hope you and yours have a positive week, with not many mustn’ts or shouldn’ts.

    Shel is right on!

    I love something my friend used to say:

    Anything can happen at any time.

    Keepin’ It Positive!

    Donna,

    Another favorite that I’ve probably posted somewhere on this blog:

    Never lose faith. Never lose heart.
    There’s always something unexpected
    and terrific just around the bend.
