Can you imagine?

Wow, John Lennon where are you these days?! Imagine what he would've said about things in 2011. An excerpt of his song "Imagine":

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

John Lennon

Hang in there...

It has been far too long... and I have missed sharing words. Today I found this piece of writing given to me when I needed it the most but was totally unexpected:

When you're feeling overwhelmed
By anger or dispair
It's hard to cope from day to day
And life can seem unfair.

But this won't last forever
Things will turn around
Then you will appreciate
The strength that you have found.

So treat yourself with kindness
Surround yourself with calm
Call on friends who love you
And shield yourself from harm.

Then when this is over
You'll look at life anew
Knowing you faced up to things
And courage saw you through.
