twenty-eight years and a million words
Charlie arrived this afternoon, and ah hour later Ken's old University buddy John arrived on a business trip. Ken, Heidi, our guests and I took to the pub and came near to closing it. Oh, the humanity.
If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.
