Well, I was looking for some lovely music to post with some sentiment I'm feeling right now, lovely music for lovely sentiment. I'm just thinking of my sweet family, and how deeply blessed I am. My children are amazing, just truly amazing. They are sweet and caring and are so influential in my life. They cause me to be a better person every day by their unassuming and Christlike examples. They are goodness embodied. And then, of course, there is my dearest Darrin, without whom I would not be the woman I am. He makes me strong, and sensitive and all that I am at once, without ever saying a word. I love my family. I live for them, and my life is what it is because of them. 20 years ago I could never have imagined the richness that fills my life. In all my dreams I could never have hoped for such joy. Surely I must be the most charmed and blessed person ever.

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity; but which kindles up, and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.

"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars."
Larry King: What, though, Gordon, do you say to parishioners who say what do I do with my anger?

The one resolution, which was in my mind long before it took the form of a resolution, is the key-note of my life. It is this, always to regard as mere impertinences of fate the handicaps which were placed upon my life almost at the beginning. I resolved that they should not crush or dwarf my soul, but rather be made to blossom, like Aaron's rod, with flowers.

Ask not for victory, ask for courage. For if you can endure you bring honor to us all, even more you bring honor to yourself.

Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

I am thankful for small mercies. I compared notes with one of my friends who expects everything of the universe, and is disappointed when anything is less than the best, and I found that I begin at the other extreme, expecting nothing, and am always full of thanks for moderate goods.
