views about our new government before they have even had 100 days to show their ‘spots’!

When I read so many negative expressions from someone who is obviously very disturbed regarding his future, I am often reminded of my early schooling when the headmaster would often finish his uplifting ‘pep’ talk with this saying: “Now two men looked out through prison bars, for one saw mud but the other stars.”

No matter what our political views are, we need to maintain a positive take on life or there is no point in living. Hope and humour are human attributes we must never lose.
