When sinking remember
This is but a brief dip
Buoyancy is obtained
By taking deep breaths
And recalling
That life is short
Our journey fraught with difficulty
In order to teach us
We swim by learning the lessons
The lifeguard is already on the way
We are loved
Lifted
Supported
Far more than we are cognisant
Above all
Remain
Teachable

I have received a lot of help and support lately from other bloggers, writers and social media users which has allowed me to improve in all sorts of areas
Some of this support has come with a guarded overture like “I hope you won’t mind if I, I hope you won’t be offended, could I just say…”
If I had been arrogant or ignorant I would not have learned valuable information
Of all the things I have learnt in my life – probably the most important is this:
Remain teachable
Be humble
Be kind
And remain open to information, guidance and support
