There is a philosophy for you, men
and women. Don't see worry or trouble
even though it seems to be hunting you
out Aren't You glad you were able

life that have been given us. but you
can try, and you will be surprised at
the list None Of us has everything.

not old but young as the newest minute
We are in the first century of an endless
life. Isn't that something to be glad
for?
So you see there is really SO much

things that try to claim our attention.
Health of mind tends to health of body
don't forget this truth.
