Believe in yourself!

Happy Saturday my Happy clan!  I hope you all had a wonderful day - mine was another busy day but a great one!  But since it is so late I'm going to get straight to your Happy tonight.  Tomorrow I'll be more chatty :)

Tonight's Happy is a poem I found written by Edgar A. Guest called "It Couldn't Be Done".  This has quickly become one of my favorite poems and I'm sure after you read it you'll make it one of your favorites too!

It Couldn’t Be Done

by Edgar Albert Guest

Somebody said that it couldn’t be done,
But, he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn’t," but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.

Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you’ll never do that;
At least no one has done it";
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he’d begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle it in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That "couldn’t be done," and you’ll do it.


This poem is full of truths!  When you believe in yourself and have a positive attitude you can accomplish anything.  There will be plenty of people who will tell you that you can't but you can!!!  You just have to believe!

And now, I do believe it's bedtime so I wish you all goodnight and sweet dreams!  Until tomorrow, keep smiling and spreading that love!!

Peace, Love and Happiness!
Karen :)
