There`s a town called Don`t-You-Worry On the bank of River Smile Where the Cheer-ups and Be-Happy Blooms sweetly all the while. And the Nev`ER-Give-Up and Patience Point their faces to the sky. In the valley of Contentment In the province of I-Will You will find this lovely city, At the foot of No-Fret hill. There are thoroughfares delightful In this charming town. And on every hand are shade trees Named the Very-Seldom-Frown. Rustic benches quite enticing You`ll find scattered here and there; And to each a vine is clinging Called the Frequent-Earnest-Prayer. Everybody there is happy And is singing all the while, In the town of Don`t-You-Worry, On the banks of River Smile. Written By: I.J.Bartlett | ||

Don`t You Worry
New Beginnings
New Beginnings To believe is to know that every day is a new beginning. It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true. To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds, to know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon. To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart, the innocence of a child's eyes and the beauty of an aging hand, for it is through their teachings we learn to love. To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us. When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again. To believe is to know we are not alone, that life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it. To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen, and all our hopes and dreams are within reach. If only we believe. | ||

Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson
about a battle that goes on inside people. He said,
'My son, the battle is between
two 'wolves' inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow,
regret, greed,arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment,
inferiority, lies, false pride,
superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope,
serenity, humility,kindness, benevolence, empathy,
generosity, truth, compassion and faith.'
The grandson thought about it for a minute
and then asked his grandfather:
'Which wolf will win?'
The old Cherokee simply replied,
'The one you feed.'
