THE DAY The day is dawning. The sun is rising. Its rays arc sweeping The world, revealing All the dark corners With its light The day goes on. The sun stays bright 'Til evening, when The shadows come Again to settle down And haunt my room. Martha Herndon.

I rather think that a thought, provided it is a good one. is a mental inspiration. A thought is a powerful tool when in the hands of a skilled workman. We should always mold our thoughts carefully, for they in turn mold us. “As a man thinks, so is he. Felix Robb. --□--- MY JOURNAL I wish you had never come my way.
