ADVICE FROM LUCY some good advice from Abigail Welhouse

ADVICE FROM LUCY

Absence of certainty is never the problem.

That’s what we focus on––

instead of the frightening, specific problems

that would take a lot of work to combat.

A new advice poem published this week by Be About It Press. Thanks @alexandranaughton.bsky.social for picking it.

I need to re-read it myself from time to time.

THE LAST HOLIDAY (2006, directed by Wayne Wang) is an excellent movie. Queen Latifah is wonderful, and I now understand why LL Cool J stands for "Ladies Love Cool James."
