This weekend’s Trifextra challenges us to give advice in 33 words. I’m personally not big on advice. I rarely follow it and try to resist giving it because each of us needs to experience life in our own unique ways. But this little ditty popped into my head this morning. What the heck. You get what you pay for!
Love has a mind of its own. No equation will create it. No quest will find it. No experiment will explain it. But once love finds you, Pay attention— feed it, nurse it.Advice on love

Feed it. Nurse it.
Yes. Because if you don’t you may find yourself without love for a long-long time.

Sound advice indeed. And nicely put. I find that people pay more attention when the number of words used is limited as well.

That’s true, Sandra. Plus, more people have time to read fewer words. 😉

Oh golly Sybil. They are fun for me. At first I think, ah, I can’t do that. And then, three words come to mind and I’m off. I find the 33 word challenge a good way to free the barriers that hem me in.

You have a flair for the succinct m’dear. I need 1,000 words minimum to nail anything. (Yes, it’s a problem.)
