Listening to your heart Do you ever wish you had a road map for living? If only someone could 1 show us a way to go, a direction to take, we wouldn’t feel so 2 of which path to pursue. We think that, with only a little 3 , we’ll surely end up in the right place. 4 on a regular flight from Detroit to Tri-City Airport must have felt a little more than 5 during the flight attendant’s greeting as their flight started. She 6 the passengers and stated that the destination would be Midland. A few concerned passengers 7 her, so the flight attendant, obviously not familiar with the area, 8 herself by saying that they would be 9 in “Tri-City” and Bay City.

And there is wisdom in seeking help when necessary. Other people can be valuable. 15 we cannot always depend on others for the 16 answers for living our lives.

And remember — your pilot knows where you’re going. 1. A. irregularly B. occasionally C. practically D. basically 2. A. proud B. tired C. unsure D. ashamed 3.
