The most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness.
Montaigne
I knew a woman who used to prod people toward good cheer by saying:
"Don't let your chickens get ya."
This came from the day when the ladies left for church
And forgot to turn on the oven to cook the Sunday dinner
After church- no dinner- and a hungry family
And there were no "take out" places in the hills of Virginia
Unruffled
They made sandwiches
and went on a picnic
Today, you may not get everything done you wanted to get done
Don't let your chickens get you
Today, the news may want to make you scream
Don't let your chickens get you
Life is not always a picnic
But you certainly can choose to make it
a little more fun
and that's poetiquejustis
I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
Phillipians 4:11
