Stay strong.mmmm Words we often hear from well-meaning friends and family trying their best to encourage us when life throws a curve ball.
Staying hopeful in tough times is challenging , especially when those curve balls make an appearance. They can be difficult to dodge.
What do we do when those curve balls hit? Impossible as it seems , practice a little gratitude for the positive circumstances in our lives. Surrounding ourselves with positivity goes a long way, as does, well, seeking help to play a little curve ball tennis.

Punch rock solid
Abrupt
Supersonic flight
Curve ball
Deflect
With a look
At clear, open space
Curve ball
Deflect
With a look
At vast green lawn
Curve ball
With a partner
Winner
In the game.
