Unlucky in Love

You know the saying "lucky in cards, unlucky in love"? And then there's the version "lucky in business, unlucky in love". What do you believe?

I'm not quite sure that luck and love go together. Seems that too much time and nurturing should go into love and loving, to call it lucky when it works or unlucky when it doesn't. Whatever the statistics may show I believe anything that's worth having is worth the effort that is put into it, but I also believe sometimes when you're looking, and hoping, and waiting for love, that you could fall into something far from it just because.

To experience one great intimacy is worth a million empty desires.

Lessons 10-18

Life lessons from 90 year old Regina Brett continue with my highlighted pick.

10.   Love your parents because they will be gone before you know it.

11.   Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12.   It's OK to let your children see you cry.

13.   Don't compare your life to others' - You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14.   If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

15.   Everything can change in the blink of an eye - but don't worry, God never blinks.

16.   Take a deep breath - it calms the mind.

17.   Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

18.   Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

Sometimes lessons are shrugged off or overlooked until you have to learn them again.  

In case you're wondering what's up with L'AMORE INTIMO during this week of veering into words of wisdom - the pursuit of beading is on my plate, learning, perfecting, creating beauty that can be cherished.
