Derive Happiness In Oneself From A Good

What Matters Most To Me? To Work With My Model Until I Have It Enough In Me To Be Able To Improvise, To Let My Hand Run Free.

I Didn't Expect To Recover From My Second Operation But Since I Did, I Consider That I'm Living On Borrowed Time. Every Day That Dawns Is A Gift To Me And I Take It In That Way. I Accept It Gratefully Without Looking Beyond It. I Completely Forget My Physical Suffering And All The Unpleasantness Of My Present Condition And I Think Only Of The Joy Of Seeing The Sun Rise Once More And Of Being Able To Work A Little Bit, Even Under Difficult Conditions.

If I Close My Eyes, I See Things Better Than With My Eyes Open.
