You got problems....deal with it. No use fretting, complaining, blaming, cursing. Face it
when you can. Sleep over it if you must stall. But eventually you would have to take it
head on.........

and a problem. If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire –

lumpy. A lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat and a lump in the breast are not the same
kind of lump. One needs to learn the difference. -- Robert Fulghum, The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all art and

get by,knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are
insufficientwithout courage, love, friendship, compassion, and empathy.
