You Just Know


You know it's true.
Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, sometimes we're playing against a stacked deck! But SOMETIMES, even in the dead of winter, we imagine life and hope and prosperity, if not just around the corner, has at least got our address, and the check is in the mail. We're not demented; we're not fooling ourselves. In the spring, there comes a rose. And without any help from us!

Thanks for clearing up the provenance matter. I thought it was you. What do they say about hope...be careful what you wish for, you might get it? True.
