I feel lucky when I find amazing quotations….
“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way,
that some poems don’t rhyme,
and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end….
Life is about not knowing,
having to change,
taking the moment and making the best of it,
without knowing what’s going to happen next.
Delicious Ambiguity…”
Gilda Radner
It is very important to understand that life is change, constant change. When you are young, permanence is important. As you age, you see the beauty in the change. Without rain, wind, this beauty would have not been born. We are also born and reborn through change.
Here is yet another wonderful quote to round out what Gilda Radner says.
“You gain strength,
courage,
and confidence
by each experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
Both of these amazing women lived their lives to the fullest and did the things they thought they could not do. I post them here to remind myself, to delight in their wisdom and to express gratitude for their words.
I love Eleanor Roosevelt’s quotes. Wish I could have met her in person. Thanks for the inspiration.
I do too! She was a fascinating woman…so strong, intelligent and kind!
This quote is such a poignant one and really speaks to where I am right now in my life and my healing. Thanks for sharing it with us Kathleen.
