Look at everything always as though you were seeing it
either for the first or last time: Thus is your time on earth filled with
glory. [Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn]
I’ve been trying to live in each one of my days as though it
were both my first and last to live fully and enJOY completely. It’s helpful
for keeping myself on an even keel, something I seem to lose a lot lately. And
that’s the wonder of it. It takes just a little remembering and I find myself
on solid ground again.
Do you ever wonder why things have to turn out the way
they do? [Nicholas
Sparks, A Walk to Remember]
I don’t wonder this so much since I came to see that “turning
out” is just living on. Some things are harder than others to understand. And
sometimes it’s actually something of a relief; yet all it boils down to is
living on… playing through.
words are like nets - we hope they'll cover what we
mean, but we know they can't possibly hold that much joy, or grief, or wonder. [Jodi Picoult, Change of Heart]
As much as I love words, they can BE limited. Or
misunderstood. Even misread.
So it has to BE Enough, my best effort to express myself.
I love you, Currie

All anyone can do is do their best. We are all misunderstood to some degree or another because we cannot fully, totally, and completely know another human being no matter how hard we try. It's strange how we are all connected and yet we are all separate. That's the wonder and the beauty of being here. :)
