and after all those cheers you gave me I had lots to pass around! Thank you for your generosity!
Maybe there is something about this particular time. Moodiness seems to be all around. When things are really tough to get through, when floating seems nearly impossible, think with William Butler Yeats: (I must paraphrase, as I am too sleepy to search out the quote itself.) When the sinking person reaches out and grasps a straw, that is courage, and his versatility is that any wave will float a straw.
So let’s float along together, and swim when our energy has returned in abundance! Swim for the tropical shore, and lounge under the broad leafed tree with fruit juices laced with rum, and laugh a lot.
