Gaiety

It is not given to all of us to be gay, but a reasonable facsimile can be achieved by throwing overboard all the dull, dreary cargo that often weighs down your heart. Out with that doubt, overboard with that fear! You are brooding because so-and-so doesn't like you.

Why worry? The person has yet to be born that everybody likes. Do you bitterly regret the past? Every day you grow a day away from it.

Are you jealous, resentful, angry? Away with jealousy, resentment, anger and anything else that makes a light heart heavy.

Gaiety can simply come from remembering that it's more fun to be gay!

Mental note to self: Must remember to be more gay.
