When an acquaintance asks you how you are, <br />And how you coped with a trying day, <br />Then think of all of your blessings, <br />And then in a gentle manner say - <br />Just fine - with a genuine smile. <br /> <br />The day may have been a little tough, <br />And many obstacles seemed to stay, <br />Show you've got a positive attitude <br />And answer in a positive way - <br />Just fine - with a genuine smile. <br /> <br />Many other people have problems, too, <br />As your personal life reveal. <br />A firm handshake may suffice <br />To help them gain confidence and feel - <br />Just fine - with a genuine smile, too.<br /><br />Joseph T.
