content is a man who lives for the day contented that the day is his own a man who is self-assured and can say he dreads not tomorrow for he has lived for the day it matters not what trouble comes his way for his optimistic attitude overrides cloudy days nay, nothing can dampen his smile for his positive days have been his to savor ©March 10, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.--James Joyce ~*~ |

If when you go to bed ,turn off the light as well as your mind and sleep soundly to face another day. You have lived a good life, jo [This message has been edited by latearrival (03-23-2014 01:35 AM).] |

Oh, I sleep soundly, Jo, but it probably has more to do with the medication and wine I take just before bedtime rather than me living such a good life. I've had my problems. Still, I made it this for and I am at a happy place now. What more could I ask for? Thank you. ~*~ Make of yourself a light.--Mary Oliver . . . ~*~ |
