Several years ago a young Frenchman captured the attention of the world by walking a tightrope between the towers of New York’s World Trade Center (1,350 feet high). A few months later, however, while practicing on a relatively low wire in St. Petersburg, Fla., he fell 30 feet and was injured. As he lay waiting for help, he reportedly beat his fist on the ground saying, “I can’t believe it! I can’t believe it! I never fall!”

Do you have that kind of attitude about life? I hope so. It will make life worth living.

Wishing you much love and much light.
