Dear Folks,
Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk. — The Dalai Lama
One who is Venturesome derives great please from the new, and difficult, experience. There is risk in life, and if we can assess it in a Merry light, we may be able to take it as it comes. No matter the experience, we learn from it.
Peace,
Jim
