Life can be wildly tragic at times, and I've had my share. But whatever happens to you, you have to keep a slightly comic attitude. In the final analysis, you have got not to forget to laugh.
Who didn't love the graceful and outspoken Katharine Hepburn?
I was just thinking this morning how one's happiness, or contentedness if you like, is really a function of one's expectations.
If we expect things to be easy, we will be sorely disappointed with just about everything in life. Perhaps we are better off when we anticipate that we will face challenges, many, if not most, beyond our control or wildest imaginations.
I find an enormous sense of peace when I embrace, or give a little mental hug to, something I have been fighting or wishing to be different.

ReplyDelete- No doubt this is how you have tolerated me for 20 years! Every day, a little mental hug. One for Meniere's, one for me...one for Meniere's, one for me...
xo xo xo xo
Awwww... I love you, honey!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this little boost.
ReplyDeleteI'm needing to read more things like this.
Kathrine H. is one of my all time favorites. (and Vincent Price, but for completely different reasons).
I'm sending you mental hugs!

I thought I'd drop by your blog (via picnic with ants). I don't have Meniere's, but I deal with other chronic illness(es) such as chronic pain.
ReplyDeleteI like your quotes! Great morale boosters!
Audrey Hepburn said some interesting things too.
Thanks for stopping by, Phylor. You're welcome to follow along if you'd like. Suffering is suffering and we can all learn from each other. I've enjoyed reading your comments over at Picnic.
ReplyDeleteYes, Audrey Hepburn was another classic!
