If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my labor.
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.

If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my emotions.

part of ourselves out to play.
Notice that I didn't say "never," I said "seldom."

and nothing about Halloween is NOT outrageous.

Apathy, indifference, not caring...
It may sound insensitive for me to say, "I don't care,"

About those, I just don't care.

of heaven and earth will pause to say,
here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.
