NOT TOO HIGH A HILL

Dear Lyz

When we come up against some life's challenges, we dread the outcome and sometime, throw in the towel, we should pause and take a step at a time. When the dreaded event has come and gone, we smile at the effort we made. We can only say 'tide and market, come and go, and so shall everybody'. Thank you for the reading and for the comments. Best wishes. T.
