Keeping Her Troubles Together
A HARD-WORKING woman of ready help and abundant sympathy for the troubled, lately gave her recipe for cheerfulness: "Why, it's no credit to me. It's only that I've got in the habit of having all my uncomfortable feelings at one time. Mornings, after my husband's started off, I do the breakfast dishes; and if there's anything worrying me, I just attend to it then. If I don't get it thought out then, it has to go over till the next day. You select a few minutes like that, in the early morning, when you're fresh, and do up your worries for the day, and you'll find it's the easiest thing in the world to keep cheerful the rest of the time and be ready to attend to other folks' troubles."—Selected.
