Out & About

Build on resolve and not upon regret,
The structure of thy future. Do not
grope
Among the shadows of old sins, but let
Thine owa souPs light shine on the
path of hope
And dissipate the darkness. Waste not
tears
Upon the blotted record of lost years,
But turn the leaf and smile, oh, smile,
to see
The fair white pages that remain to
thee.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

and not through the nose is not
breathing that will enable one to walk.
Stand up, step off briskly, If only for
a quarter of a mile, Repeat this day
