10 of 12 given words:
thought distress
indigence (a state of extreme poverty)
shift fog alone emboldened 
happy bitterness eyes 

thoughts in distress indigence of ideas
contending to shift gears out of the fog
alone embroiled in a conflict within
but largely not of his own undoing
emboldened push forward out of the rut
happy with no bitterness towards none
guilt deflected from eyes of Providence

  7. Nice shaping of past words--I love the notion that children are not born with negative tendencies--they must learn to be racist, or other "ist"s.

  9. "to shift gears out of the fog" Oh yes! Sometimes it feels like I'm trying to do that, even while sitting on the couch in my study with the bright sun shining through my window!
