how to be happy

good trumps evil.



rainbow beats rain.

wrong order at the drive-thru makes you check twice next time.

clorox fixes germs.



good trumps evil.




only love can break a heart. yes.

but only love can mend it again.



it is better to give than to receive.

what goes around comes around.

time heals all wounds.



good trumps evil.



hate doesn't drive out hate. only love can do that. (thank you, mlk.)

seeing what's wrong doesn't fix what's wrong. seeing what's wrong and trying to stop it does. (thank you, jfk. and bobby.)

telling your ex-husband to go to hell doesn't get you closer to Christ.

telling the next guy in line you love him does.



good trumps evil.



believe it.

seasons change and so do i

when i came out of work today

it was

hot.

like someone turned the furnace on,

in

an

attic.



while wearing a sweater.




soon enough, the snow

will fly.

i will come out of work with my

mouth open wide

like charlie brown

at Christmas



i will try to remember sweater attic heat

but won't.

i will try to remember lemonade,

but won't.



i will try to imagine heaven.



and will.
