Beginning of Moonrise

I am quite happy nowadays. Must not let the old gloom about money troubles return. Will try and see it as a topping chance to improve my moral courage. As regards physical courage, I have long considered that each little fear overcome makes me more brave.

Glancing at my notes of a year ago, - on the whole I was much more unhappy then. Life was so dull and – somehow – bleak and wintry.
