CHAPTER 5, PAGE 11

Courage begins when we can

admit that there is no life

without some pain, some frustration;

that there is no tragic accident to which we are immune;

and that beyond the normal exercise of prudence

we can do nothing about it.

But courage goes on to see

that the triumph of life is not in pains avoided,

but in joys lived completely in the moment

of their happening.

Courage lies in never taking so much

as a good meal or a day of health

and fair weather for granted.

It lies in learning to be aware

of our moments of happiness

as sharply as our moments of pain.

We need not be afraid to weep

when we have cause to weep,

so long as we can really rejoice

at every cause for rejoicing.

Victoria Lincoln

GOOD MORNING !

Our sunny weather left us last night and rain is predicted yet today. They say it will be cool side for the next 7 days sooo…. I’ll be wearing a sweater and putting the sandles away for awhile yet. We do need the rain so I can’t complain.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Remember, No matter how bad it seems at the time, It shall pass in a few moments,

And..... A Smile is simply a frown upside down...

So, stand on your head and look in the mirror...

Once you see how silly you look... a frown turns into Smile...

May your day be blessed with a few smiles and lots of sunshine to warm your heart !

MA
