Happy Easter

Borrowed from today's Postsecret:


3.5 yrs ago I was nearly destroyed by grief and fear.
But now I look back and feel that it was one of the very best things that ever happened to me.

“Each day, we’re given many opportunities to open up or shut down. The most precious opportunity presents itself when we come to the place where we think we can’t handle whatever is happening.” ~Pema Chodron

That which has the potential to shut us down, harden us and make us bitter also can serve to awaken us, give us courage, crack us open and enlarge our hearts.

    I needed this reminder.

    Thank you.
