News Headlines (309) 20 July 2013

ONLINE TODAY

► Your insight and energy will lay the groundwork for an especially productive day today. Whether it's finishing your taxes early, cleaning out your garage, or pulling together a last minute celebration, you are totally on the ball and kicking you-know-what today! Don't be surprised if powerful people take notice and offer you the chance to display your abilities on a much larger stage. Let your ambition take over and lead you to a success you have deserved for a long time. Honesty is the best policy -- and you can't help but indulge the truth! You may not have much luck holding on to secrets, but you're much better off without them anyway. Open up!

Secrets? Hmm, I love that word. I often save something that I think it is strictly confidential in a very secret place. So secret at the time, no one knows except me and the secrets. Then I promise to keep the secrets in a way I will not remember them anymore. I'll get to be as if I and secrets do not know each other, as if I never keep them.

The difficulty comes when one day a new secret ask me to keep itself as I keep the first secrets. It makes me remember back to earlier secret. The silliness is, because I am so faithful to keep confidentiality between me and the secrets, when I want to rediscover them, I forgot where I put them.

I'm trying to remember where I keep them, but I still can not find them to this day. But it makes me smile, because I know, "That's the existence of a secret. Remain closed until time makes it go away without a word"

When one day I joked with my fiance, I asked him, "Dahling, do you know where I put that thing?"

"What's that?"

I just answered him with laughter. Maybe he thought I was having a sudden excitement on that day.

Ah! sunflower, weary of time, Who countest the steps of the sun, Seeking after that sweet golden clime Where the traveller's journey is done; Where the youth pined away with desire, And the pale virgin shrouded in snow, Arise from their graves and aspire; Where my sunflower wishes to go. - Ah!
