Any girl who can stand off and

I've tripped myself up over my
anxiety to show life how to run

rush for place because I didn't
find out that wanted to start
until every one else was blocks
ahead Of mel. It's a good old
world. It hands out plenty Of
prizes. There are opportunities
all around me. I'm going to avail
myself Of some Of them. And
I'm going to go at it calmly and

Maybe your tempo needs slow

learn to speed your mental
processes up bit. But life does
not defeat anyone who has the
vision and the sanity and the
gentle humility and the psrspec-
tive to acknowledge that shs has
been doing herself a lot Ut harm
up to date.

out that she's doing that silly
thing-no. nor ten seconds after

her blunder. Janey steps out into
the sunlight and gets the shadow
off her book Of life.
So cheer up, Janey! And smile
. happily all you related James and
Janets. For the blunder that il
seen and acknowledged is nearer
correction than you dream.
You're on your way to being
your own best friend instead Of
your worst enemy. You're al
most ready to shed light wherever
you go. instead Of getting int
