Author’s Dyslexia and Technology Challenges, But Keeps On Keepin’ On!

My Green/Yellow Brain has been diligently working on the final edits and revisions for the Teacher’s Activity Guide for “Princess Shayna’s Invisible Visible Gift”, which will be available in a few weeks.

During the revision process my dyslexia and the technology skills I have been highly challenged.

What encouraged my Blue Brain and calmed my Orange Brain frustrations was an anonymous poem that our camp director, Miss Minnie A. Cohen (a.k.a Macdolodge the Royal Tutor in my children’s book, Princess Shayna’s Invisible Visible Gift) used to read to the Mac-Do Lodge summer campers and counselors during campfire on Sunday evenings.

I trust that you will also find the poem inspirational and motivation.

Keep On Keepin’ On
If the day looks kinder gloomy
And your chances kinder slim,
If the situation’s puzzlin’
And the prospect’s awful grim,
If perplexities keep pressin’
Till hope is nearly gone,
Just bristle up and grit your teeth
And keep on keepin’ on.

Frettin’ never wins a fight
And fumin’ never pays;
There ain’t no use in broodin’
In these pessimistic ways;
Smile just kinder cheerfully
Though hope is nearly gone,
And bristle up and grit your teeth
And keep on keepin’ on.

There ain’t no use in growlin’
And grumblin’ all the time,
When music’s ringin’ everywhere
And everything’s a rhyme.
Just keep on smilin’ cheerfully
If hope is nearly gone,
And bristle up and grit your teeth
And keep on keepin’ on.
