You're welcome! I just wish that following good advice was as easy as giving it. That goes for you, for me and for the rest of the world...

I, for one, am a far better teacher than I am a student. That is, I often say things that I know to be true, but that doesn't necessarily mean I follow the the wisdom of my 'own' teachings. I try very hard to maintain a positive attitude, but find it very easy to fall in the trap of seeing just the negatives of a situation. Likewise, I am too easily tempted to try and force a positive outlook on someone, rather than leading by example and allowing them to find the light on their own.

But then again, I do find life's little ironies rather enjoyable.

love,
Jim.
