Some people sit and worry and fret over things that cannot be helped. They know they aren't doing anything wrong so it must be someone else's fault. Either that or they think they are the world's biggest screw up and nothing can keep them from losing everything so they just continue to mope and wait for the end of life as we know it. NOT SO! SOMETIMES STUFF JUST HAPPENS AND IT ISN'T ANYBODY'S FAULT. What you need to do is learn from your mistakes and keep on truckin'. Do your best and things will get better. You may not be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams but you won't starve to death either.

Don't sit around the ashes, Of your by-gone mistakes. Should-a, would-a, could-a, didn't, Just increases heartaches. Hashing and rehashing, Each and every curse, Only serves to stir the pot, And makes a bad thng worse. Sit back and look at what's ocurred, And learn from what you've done; So history won't repeat itself, And life can be more fun. Change whate're you need to change. Form new and better habits. If there's a life line to be found, Reach out your hand and grab it. Look for good in everything, And never pick a fight. Spread good will and be of help. Keep this goal in sight. You'll find your burdens lighter. Your dues will all be paid, Once you finally realize, Most troubles are home made.
