Do not spoil what you have, by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have, was once among the things you hoped for.

My best thoughts today are "this too shall pass" and "just keep swimming"...
This too shall pass.  All is well.

My DM is very ill, but today when my DD and I were visiting her she said something so simple but so sensible and I wanted to pass it along.  We were talking about different things that were going on in FOO and she said, "Yes, you never know about anyone except yourself, we don't know about all the entanglements of another person, not even with our own family members.  You just never know.  And I realized at that moment all the time that Ms. Luise has said more or less the same thing.  It really hit home and allowed me to release the burden that I was carrying and didn't realize it until today.  :o

What a lovely gift she gave you. We think we know...and then we make judgements re: what we don't know...and act on them.

I used to tell my kids that first we make something up, then we believe it and then we are at the effect of it...same thing.
