Worry about courage
Worry about cleanliness
Worry about efficiency
Worry about horsemanship

Things not to worry about  

Don’t worry about popular opinion
Don’t worry about dolls
Don’t worry about the past
Don’t worry about the future
Don’t worry about growing up
Don’t worry about anybody getting ahead of you
Don’t worry about triumph
Don’t worry about failure unless it comes through your own fault
Don’t worry about mosquitoes
Don’t worry about flies
Don’t worry about insects in general
Don’t worry about parents
Don’t worry about boys
Don’t worry about disappointments
Don’t worry about pleasures
Don’t worry about satisfactions


This is from a letter F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote to his eleven year old daughter, and I guess it's my advice to you, too, Kellyn. There are so few things that require your worrying, so try not to worry about boys or failure or what's ahead or mosquitoes or any of those things. I have more pictures coming soon, of course, but the last few days I've been desperately sick (Tuesday night I actually fainted...yup), and so I haven't been inclined to edit photos. In the meantime though, you can just enjoy this one and muse on this little list and listen to this song. xx.
