When we are ill and feeling bad
Our confidence is shattered.
Just at the time when you need it most
And your self confidence mattered.
So tell yourself you're pretty good,
And tough as tough can be.
You'll very soon get over this
And back in health you'll be.
Convince yourself in a positive way,
That will lift your spirits higher.
The problem that I have with this?
I know I'm such a liar.
That's great Don..spot on because life/health is a realist 😂
Cracking don!!!
Brilliant. But sometimes the lies work. It’s another word for pretending. Do it well enough and you can fool anyone, including yourself.
Love, hugs (and the promise of steak and kidney pudding in the autumn... Autumn? When’s that?)

Brilliant Don, I love Positivity, It's a Food source I have to have....Thanks Don Smiling again with your odes. xxxx
You can but try Don. Is that Mutley having a chuckle?
You take care and hope Midge is doing well. Xxx 👍😘
That’s Mutley alright having a little chuckle at me. Midge is doing well thank you. Sadly my neighbours had to have their dog put down and find taking Midge for walks helps them deal with it. I can’t walk far now so that works well for us all. 😀 (except for their poor dog of course 😢)
Oh dear that’s sad. Xxx 😢🙁
That's the only way I can get through by convincing myself there is light at the end of the tunnel and I will come through this 😜🤞xxx
Developing a method that works for us is the secret of our success. 🤡😉👍xx
Another masterpiece which sums up my philosophy. Keep up the good work Don.
I’ve been telling everyone I’m a medical phenomenon and despite the odds I’m still here so it’s working for me so far😊
Another great rhyme thanks Don-Rhymer. A positive attitude definitely achieves a whole lot and I do think if we try hard enough we can actually kid ourselves too. Maybe not heal ourselves by the power of thought but certainly make ourselves feel better. Keep believing your lies! (If that was taken out of context I'd sound like a crazy person!)
Love it. I’m just like that!
I’m usually a positive person, glass half full rather than half empty, but sometimes it just all gets to much because there is no end to it. My happy place is our caravan. We’ve just come back from a week in the Lakes followed by two weeks in the Clent Hills only ten miles from home. My husband has finally got it that this is my happy place and so we’re going back in ten days!
For years I've recognised that there are some places that for some inexplicable reason I feel more comfortable being there. Nothing to do with memories, scenery or anything else, I just enjoy being there. I could never have though of a name to describe them, but 'Happy places' does it, that's exactly what they are. Thank you.
Lovely. I have been called Muttley since I was about 8 and Doc says she can't believe I am still alive. It is these little battles we have, or that is the way I think of it, a battle going on in my body, and do everything I can to win it.
Loved that poem! Thanks heaps.
So you CAN kid a kidder. A good belly laugh for us all Don. xx
Ah, yes - fake it to make it!
That's right. One fake reply here and I might get an orange sticker. 
It's true Don-Rhymer,I often do that even if I am out of breath I put an act on , it's a case of having to do sometimes.😁
