Letter 4453
Can I walk out into the world from my rooms, in full expectation that joy will greet me like the doves and foxes?
Or am I to struggle and drag a despondent outlook along with me?
When the world laughs yet I am morose, it is a bitter pill to swallow.
❖
Let me adjust my attitude, to greet the bright sun that has already arranged the day.
Consider:
Can I accept joy today?
