A million little pieces

Follow Your Heart


Although it's been said many times before
It's a powerful message, so
I'll say it once more...
Follow your heart, go wherever
it may lead,
Follow your heart and you're
sure to succeed!

For when you follow your heart and do what you love,
God gives you guidance and help from above...
And things start to happen that you never thought could,
And dreams come true...that you never thought would!

For God's given each of us a special part to play...
So follow your heart and you won't be led astray!

The Cleaning Lady

During my
first year of high school, our teacher gave us a trivia quiz.
I was a conscientious student
and had breezed through the questions,
until I read
the last one:
"What is the
first name of
the woman
who cleans
the school?"

Surely this was some kind of joke.
I had seen the cleaning woman several times.
She was tall,
dark-haired
and in her 50s,
but how would
I know her name?

I handed in my paper,
leaving the last question blank. Before class ended, one student asked
if the last question would count
toward our quiz grade.
"Absolutely,"
said the teacher.
"In your careers
you will meet many people.
All are significant. They deserve
your attention
and care,
even if all you do
is
smile
and
say
'Hello'."
I've never
forgotten that lesson.
I also learned
her name
was
Daisy.
