Guest guest Posted December 7, 2001 Report Share Posted December 7, 2001 You Are Wonderful. The following true story captured our heart. It happened several years ago in the Paris opera house. A famous singer had been contracted to sing, and ticket sales were booming. In fact, the night of the concert found the house packed and every ticket sold. The feeling of anticipation and excitement was in the air as the house manager took the stage and said, " Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your enthusiastic support. I am afraid that due to illness, the man whom you've all come to hear will not be performing tonight. However, we have found a suitable substitute we hope will provide you with comparable entertainment. " The crowd groaned in disappointment and failed to hear the announcer mention the stand-in's name. The environment turned from excitement to frustration. The stand-in performer gave the performance everything he had. When he had finished, there was nothing but an uncomfortable silence. No one applauded. Suddenly, from the balcony, a little boy stood up and shouted, " Daddy, I think you are wonderful! " The crowd broke into thunderous applause. We all need people in our Lives who are willing to stand up once in a while and say, " I think you are wonderful. " - Source Unknown I hope that you have a great day and I know that you are wonderful people. Do we really tell our friends and loved ones, just how wonderful they are? I am going to make this my project today. In love and friendship, Harold http://gemsofthought.tripod.com/poetry/ --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
