Wednesday Wisdom

April is the cruelest month . . .

I first read those words by TS Eliot in Mr Comiskey's Great Books class in high school. I didn't realize they might actually be true.

It's been a heavy few weeks, for a number of reasons. April seems to hold a lot of loss. Today alone marks the anniversary of a lot of deeply painful events, for people around the country and for people near to my heart.

But, in order to feel a great loss, one has to have known great love.

So, in honor of that great love, this week's Wednesday Wisdom quote makes its second appearance:

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."

-Dr. Seuss

Wednesday Wisdom

Ok, so I've been a little MIA lately. It's not that I don't want to write, it's just I've been pulled in a few different directions lately (who isn't). But in the middle of the crazy, I'm trying to live mindfully, enjoy each moment, and celebrate the joys of life (while minimizing obligations that don't feed my or anyone else's soul). Spring is here, and Easter is coming. There is a lot to celebrate! "There are only two ways to life your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is though everything is a miracle."

-Albert Einstein
