QUOTE FOR TODAY

This week has been a bummer week and, as Taylor said, when he was about ten, "I hate bummers." So I'll leave you with a quote which brings me comfort this week.

"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."-- Carl Jung

I hope you do not have too much sadness and that your happy is in full swing. And I hope the turkey is waiting patiently in the freezer, that the pie recipe is dusted off and that you have some family to look forward to next week.

And get the sadness (and the bummers) over early so you can have some laughs.

Love,
Lynne

PS I liked this blog post today entitled, "How to find happiness."

The more you care the more you hurt, happiness is not what we're meant to discover, we're meant to learn who we really are, once we do we're happy, not before...Gosh i can't wait to see who I really am, 'cause hell life is hard!!!! I feel better though when i realize that being happy is not the goal and relieved. I believe at best we can achieve peace...and that I don't have often either...So Life being what it it, I hope you have a Fabulous day LOL ;) hang in there sweet, funny Lynne !

Thanks for the link Lynne.

I hate that you are having bummers lately. I'll do my best not to break up with you. At least until you feel cheerier.

I think you have an amazingly positive--happy--outlook in spite of the rough times. Thanks for taking care of so many people around you.
