You are like a chestnut burr, prickly outside, but silky-soft within, and a sweet kernel, if one can only get at it. Love will make you show your heart some day, and then the rough burr will fall off.
Some people seemed to get all sunshine, and some all shadow.
...for love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride.
A holiday isn't a holiday, without plenty of freedom and fun.
I think we are all hopelessly flawed.
Go out more, keep cheerful as well as busy, for you are the sunshine-maker of the family, and if you get dismal there is no fair weather.
