Never feel self-pity, the most destructive emotion there is. How awful to be caught up in the terrible squirrel cage of self. Millicent Fenwick

*The horror of being captured by self-absorption* *Is that it finds its way to no conclusion* *The sun is shining but will you get sunburn?* *If you run in a race will it be one that you won?* *If you try and fail will you be scorned?* *Would it have better had you not been born?* *When going to a party, what clothes should you wear?* *There is someone you like but do you dare?* *Oh, the challenges of life can make one swear* *Let us forget all the “what if’s” and just plain live* *If you let yourself try you have much to give*

Let us forget all the �what if�s� and just plain live

Depression is the root of self-indulgence. Some of us have a chronic case of it. One very easy way to combat depression, ask JESUS to help you. It works for me better than "Prozac". Excellent write, Lew.
GOD BLESS YOU

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
