Accentuate the positive

The Norman Transcript

NORMAN — (A New Year’s resolution)

Having a positive attitude

is surely half the game.

Soon everyone around you

Will be feeling just the same.

It leads to creativity

Of the hands and of the mind.

When you go along the right path,

The best is there to find.

Make life the most constructive;

Make being true your first reflex.

Make “building up” a habit —

Call it your “Edifice Complex!”

Camile Kay Bogle
