    Thanks for the warm review and sparkly stars. I always try to see hard times and "disasters' as a time to reassess. Sometimes it is a blessing in disguise but we are so busy seeing only the problem. Thanks for the encouragement and I hope you have a wonderful week end, cheers, j

Very clever, Indeed! Exceptional packaging and presentation to grab the reader's immediate interest. The delivery of the poetic style is perfect, albeit necessarily brief for this style of poetry. I cannot offer anything to improve this and thank the author for a wonderful example of this poetic style. HIS GRAYNESS

I have never read a one-six-one poem. I think this was very good. I broke up the lines as I was reading it: Just trust. Just believe you can adjust. Believe you can adjust...trust. It really got me to thinking, even though it is a simple, short piece of writing. Dove

    Thanks for the insightful review. It is hard to trust in ourselves when things are going bad, but we are stronger and more clever than we sometimes believe. Cheers,j

What a very positive, proactive sentiment and an interesting picture of someone appearing to fly. I think more of us have to remember that--yes, we can adjust. We stated.
