THOSE WHO WILL LISTEN WILL LEARN
Advice comes in all shapes and sizes. For instance, someone gave the
sage advice: "If you dance with a grizzly bear, you had better let him lead." I suppose it's good to know when to go along with some people.
Another wit advised, "Never accept a drink from a urologist."
Conrad Hilton, hotelier extraordinaire, was asked on national
television if he had one vital bit of advice for listeners. "Please,"
he said, "place the curtain on the INSIDE of the tub."
It's been accurately said that there is a lot of advice available for
nothing, and most of it is worth it. But here is sound guidance, from
an unknown author, worth taking to heart:
"If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart,
forgive; for that person has helped you learn about trust
and the importance of caution.
If someone loves you, love back unconditionally; that one
is teaching you to love.
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take
from those moments everything that you possibly can, for
you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people that you have never talked to before -- and
actually listen.
Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high.
Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell
yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself,
for if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others
to believe in you.
You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your
own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.
Most importantly, if you love others, tell them, for you never
know what may come tomorrow.
And learn a lesson in life each day you live."
Even some free advice can profit to those who listen.

LOVE FROM FRANCE FOR SEPTEMBER 11
This is a sad anniversary that is coming. On Wednesday I'll
be thinking and praying for all the victims and their family, but also for all of you in America and for each of the people of our earth. I think that beyond America our whole world has been shaken, and we all need to reassess our essential values. In harmony with you I will present everyone to our God.... Love ~ Hélène (France)
