The Shallow End: Enough

Enough

I received this email today from a dear friend and really love this poem. In today's materialistic world, in which we often find ourselves wishing we had more, this is a pleasant reminder that all it really takes to make us happy and appreciate what we do have is "enough:"

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.

I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
