Get Up

Someone said, "I am glad you are up." William was glad to be up too. When one gets to a certain point in life, each new day becomes somehow more precious. Today is another set of possibilities; perhaps you will really get it right this time. Perhaps you will get it so wrong that you will never forget the lesson of it. Best of all, as you start the day you have no clue what it may bring.

William's Whimsical Words:

Get up, Stand up.
