twenty-seven years and one million words
I spent the entire day in bed today suffering from what was either the shingles or the antivirals I'm taking to fight them.
Either way, what a day. The pain that this disease causes is something else.
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.
