I’ve got a friend who wants to build a wee house for himself and his young family. He’s not got much money, but he’s got the shell of an old cottage, and he’s got the will to make it happen.

But despite a lot of work and effort, that project has hardly got off the ground yet. Everything that could go wrong, has gone wrong.

He’s a very sanguine fella though, and deals with setbacks simply by moving on to the next possibility. Such a great attitude. And although much younger than myself there are times when I simply need to follow his lead:

When things go wrong, write the next song.
