“DON’T  QUIT”

.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will

 

When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,

 

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

 

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

 

When care is pressing you down a bit,

 

Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

 

(~)~(~)~(~)

 

Life is odd with its twists and turns,

 

As everyone of us sometimes learns

 

And many a failure turns about,

 

When he might have won had he stuck it out.

 

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow,

 

You may succeed with another blow.

 

(~)~(~)~(~)

 

Success is failure turned inside out,

Are you ready for Michelle Obama, kitchen goddess? The first lady’s pulling a Gwyneth Paltrow and publishing a cookbook.  Americn Grown, on sale April 10, 2012, combines veggie growing tips with recipes inspired by Michelle’s White House garden.

.

It’s a garden she’s toiled over since 2009.  So have daughters Sasha and Malia, who help with the weeding “like it or not”. Despite being a gardening novice, Obama’s laid the groundwork for over 55 varietals of veggies.
