Quote of the Week
"...How much energy do people spend wishing things were how they were? If you need to celebrate how good it was, then celebrate. If you need to remember how great it was when they were alive, then remember that. if you need to grieve, grieve. If you need to apologize or make amends or you need to do something to make peace with how it was, then do it, but then move on. When we're still holding on to how things were, our arms aren't free to embrace today. May you accept the past for what it is. May you celebrate what needs to be celebrated and grieve what needs to be grieved and then, may you receive from God a new spirit, one for here, now, today...."
