in retrospect

there are four things you can never recover

the stone after the throw
the word after it's said
the occassion after the loss
the time after it's gone




"I gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience
in which I must stop and look fear in the face.
I say to myself, I've lived through this
and can take the next thing that comes along.
We must do the things that we think we cannot do."

~Eleanor Roosevelt
