Slippery Paths

The days are getting longer; The sun is slow to set. Frustration’s getting stronger That this isn’t over yet. The optimists are quoting Outlooks for a better spring But the pessimists are noting That we don’t know anything. The winter’s far from over; There’ll be frigid days ahead. Before we’re all in clover There’ll be slippery paths to tread.

This made me smile because it applies in so many situations! "The optimists are quoting Outlooks for a better spring But the pessimists are noting That we don’t know anything."

Wise words, Ilene. I'm not decided whether I should get my fourth booster jab or not. / Maurice
