Nurture Strength of Spirit

After reading my blog my Aunt in AK sent this to me. I like it...So does the teenager since we are at the point where we rarely agree on anything this is a nice moment while we wait for our power to go out. Winds are a blowing...

".....Nuture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy."
Max Ehrmann (1872-1945 A portion of his poem Desiderata)
