    He heard you in the still of the night
    He heard you, everything will be all right
    He heard you and already is working it out
    He heard you so don't have any doubt
    He heard you....

    Psalm 120:1

    I enjoyed looking over your selection of books and got some good ideas. I would love to keep up with your interesting reading. I too am very interested in spirituality and consider myself a sort of renegade liberal Christian. Please check out my bookshelf if you'd like. Jean

    A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired. During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of cups-porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite -- telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate.

    When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said:
    'Notice that all the nice looking; expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

    The cup that you're drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each others cups.

    Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate we have.

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything that they have.

    Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.. Thank the Lord for your blessings in 2008. And enjoy your hot chocolate!

    I like this message!

    “The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything that they have!”

    BTW, regarding the Dion DiMucci interview on the website, I used to watch Dion perform in concert as a folksinger in Ottawa many, many years ago.
