WHO REKINDLES YOUR LIGHT? An insightful woman, who had lived through numerous dark nights and days, once taught me about getting through difficult times. "I appreciate your outlook on life," I commented to Mrs. Tucker. I was in my twenties and she was fifty years my senior. She exhibited a remarkable attitude and strength of character, which had probably carried her through those painful experiences. "Well, I have been through a lot of
tough times," she told me. "In fact, sometimes it was awfully
hard for me and my husband. He couldn't always find work. Some days he
would come home horribly depressed and say, 'Things are so bad I don't
know if I can take it.' And I would say to him, 'Well, you know, things
could be worse.' And once he said, 'I've heard that so many times I think
I'm gonna die!' I was hurt...but I just hated to see him so depressed. I
didn't know what to say. Later he confessed that if I would have wept in
despair, he wouldn't have been able to make it. He needed me during those
times." - Steve Goodier www.lifesupportsystem.com
It was the Buddha who said, "The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly." And Jesus said, "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." Love Quote of the Day "Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence."-- David Byrne, more Famous Quotes "The deepest desire in human nature is the craving to be appreciated." -- William James "Children who receive a lot of
approval learn to accept themselves." "A friend is someone I can be sincere with, someone I can think out loud to." Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who I Am Makes A Difference A professor was in the habit of giving his students a little gift at the end of the school year - a blue ribbon with the words "Who I Am Makes A Difference®" printed in gold letters on the ribbon. As she gave each student their ribbon she explained why he had appreciated teaching them, and why his course had been different because that particular student had been present. One day it occurred to her to see what effect this little custom would have on the community. She gave each student 3 blue ribbons instead of one, and told each of them to give one ribbon to someone they knew who, in their opinion "made a difference." She also told them to give the 2 other ribbons to that same person, with instructions to hand them out to others who had made a difference. After that the students were to come back and report what happened. One student who had a part-time job gave his ribbon to his boss, a grumpy fellow who nevertheless appreciated the honor. "I admire everything you've done," the student said to his boss. "I think you're a creative genius and a real fair guy. Will you allow me to pin this blue ribbon on your jacket as a sign of my appreciation?" The boy's boss was surprised but also pleased. "Yeah, sure, why not?" he said. "And will you take these 2 other ribbons," the student continued, "and give them to someone you think makes a difference, like I did for you? It's for a project we're doing at school." "All right," the boss replied. That night the boss returned home wearing the purple ribbon on his jacket. He greeted his 14 year old son and said, "Something strange happened to me today. One of my employees gave me this ribbon. See what's written on it? 'Because you make a difference.' He gave me another ribbon just like it and told me to give it to someone who's made a difference for me, someone who is very special and means a lot to me. "I had a pretty hard day, but on the way home I said to myself, 'There's only one person I want to give this ribbon to.' I know I tell you off a lot because you don't work hard enough at school, because all you think about is going out and having fun with your friends, because your room's always a mess... But tonight I want to tell you that you are very very important to me. You and your mother make all the difference in my life, and I'd like you to accept this blue ribbon as a sign of my love. I don't tell you I love you very often, not nearly enough, I know. But I do love you, and I think you're a wonderful kid!" As soon as he stopped talking his son burst into tears. His whole body shook with sobs. His father took him in his arms and held him close, saying, "That's okay, it's all right. Did I say something wrong?" "No Dad." his son replied, "It's just that... I decided I was going to kill myself. I was going to do it tomorrow. I had it all planned out. I wanted to kill myself because I was sure you didn't like me, even though I tried hard to be good. Now that's all changed..." Helice Bridges Communications Remember and exercise this Law of Life: What ever you think and feel is what you bring into form. Where your thoughts rest is where you are, for you are your consciousness. Thoughts can never become things until they are clothed in feelings. You are already standing in the dimensional field of instantaneous creation

Humo urJewish humor has it that a rabbi and a priest met at the town picnic and began their usual "kibitzing." "This baked ham is just delicious," the priest teased the rabbi. "You really should try some. I know it's against your religion, but I can't understand why such a wonderful thing should be forbidden. You just don't know what you're missing. You haven't lived until you've tried Mrs. Kennedy's baked ham. Tell me, when are you going to break down and try a little ham?" The rabbi looked at the priest, smiled and said, "At your wedding."
My love and I leave you with a wonderful thought from Susan Jeffers: "Take the risk, don't be too careful"
