Painting Naked

Call me altruistic, but I believe in leading a transparent life of honor and integrity. I may not have the courage it takes to always be honest with others or myself. I often circum to depression; I fall prey to fatalism. I lose hope. But when I remember that all that is required of me is that I do my best, that I surrender the stubbornness of my will, that there is always a second chance to walk by faith and to believe, then I can humbly ask for forgiveness, grant forgiveness to others, and begin anew.
