Nothing's impossible, I have found
For when my chin is on the ground.
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off
And start all over again.

Don't lose your confidence
If you slip
Be grateful for a pleasant trip
And pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.

Work like a soul inspired
Until the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son.

Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall, to rise again?
So take a deep breath...
Pick yourself up...
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.

Work like a soul inspired
Till the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son.

Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath...
Pick yourself up...
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.

"Pick Yourself Up" Lyrics By Jerome Kern & Dorothy Fields

Hey Cat,

It;s nice to meet new friends here -you are an inspiration to all of us!

A new friend I met this morning here (who you all know and love ) will hopefully read these and gain some inspiration from these words.

I know Jerome Kern, he wrote those many, many moons ago (before any of us was born) and brought hope with these words to many folks, I am sure it helped back in the days of the Depression when mnay wanted to give up all hope.

one could call her Cat, but then that would
get her confused with Cathy aka Bonaircat
who has a prior claim to the name Cat from
when Joanie was Arrabell55 or Arabella4 before
bein itchy catex

Hmmmm...so the quandry is, what to call our little miss.

What should we call you hon??

Do we call you itsy?? I don't want to confuse it with itchy, like Doug here, because then everyone would think you have a personal problem.

itchy was a joke. I often call her itsy, which
I think is cute. Will has taken to calling her
by her real name, Joanie, and she hasn't complained
yet, that I have noticed.

You can call me Joanie, now that it has been revealed, but you bet it will get confused with your Joanne LOL.

I'll see if I can go back to being arabella5 or 55 again....

Ok, so I am reviving my arabella personna - profile and pictures will be active soon. Heaven forbid that I would be perceived as an old lady with a bunch of cats.
Yipes!

And Kat will be the only cat, which I think is right LOL

itsycatx will disappear....into the fog.
