Keep the faith?

Needless to say, I was hoping to encourage my followers to stay with me, but as I looked at my subject line, I realize that needs to be a general mantra for us all.  How I wish we could join voices and drown out the loud clanging of negative tongues wagging!  Still, more noise will not change things.  Plus, arguing with those who thrive on the news of disaster (not the disaster itself) wastes precious energy.  Let them rail, let them rant, let them wallow in the darkness.  We shall shine a quiet yet brilliant light and turn our enthusiasm and vivacity into inspiration and action and results.  Guess what?  We only need to join the already teaming throng of good people who don't talk about what they're doing.  They DO!!  Open your eyes and see, my friends.  All around us lie progress and improvement and smiling workers making a difference never expecting lauds and laurels.  They revel in and celebrate what they do see, what they know inside, what makes them always hopeful.  So keep the faith?  Why yes, I believe we will because we HAVE.  We reap the rewards and willingly share with and help others.  See?  Grab your happy goggles and floaties and go with the flow.  Soon, as we recover from actual floods, we shall merrily wash up stream on the welcome, raging roar of growth and prosperity.  Come on in; the water's fine!!
