Despair

11.3.13
Despair is the ultimate sin, and I don’t mean that in a religious way. I mean that once you
despair you are done for. Take a drink, take to chicanery, tell lies, cheat… all active living
things, whereas despair means giving up, it means death.
I have fended off the spare many times, evaded it’s noose. I shall continue to for all my time. I
will set an example for my girls to follow.
Mac said to me the other day when a girl at the store upset her when she made an effort to
make friends. (Mac really had her feelings hurt) I told her of the millions of times I had been
hurt- but she said: “But mama, you are always happy and smiling” I told her how your skin
toughens up with age and you learn to shirk off the mean people and focus on the positive.
