Thought for Today ~ May 5

There are times when things happen that mock my efforts to cope and make me want to give up. And there have been times when I have given up—plopped myself into a chair and let despair toy with my mind. But then I realize that the situation is still there and giving in to despair is not going to help me think of a way to deal with it. What do I know? What have I had to deal with? I am legally blind and hearing impaired. I deal with frustrations and challenges continually, so what I say is not armchair advice. It's tried and true. I can say no to despair and so can you.
