Look the Sun in the Face...and Smile.

That's what I'm going to do. Just as soon as it comes out. Because sometimes, sometimes- even in these trying times- things work out. Here's to hoping!

(And here's to a weekend of GC(click). I've been looking forward to this weekend.)


SOMETIMES

Sometimes things don't go, after all,
from bad to worse. Some years, muscadel
faces down frost; green thrives; the crops don't fail,
sometimes a man aims high, and all goes well.

A people sometimes will step back from war;
elect an honest man; decide they care
enough, that they can't leave some stranger poor.
Some men become what they were born for.

Sometimes our best efforts do not go
amiss; sometimes we do as we meant to.
The sun will sometimes melt a field of sorrow
that seemed hard frozen: MAY IT HAPPEN FOR YOU.

That is my sincere wish for you today.

P.S. MUSCADEL: noun; a muscat grape esp. as grown for drying to make raisins (Just in case you didn't know. I didn't).
