I started this post about a week ago when I was having a really hard time with the divorce and I did not finish it - didn't get past the title. But I think it's an important thing to write about.
I had been reading out of a book I have called Wisdom of the Ages by Wayne Dyer. It's basically a collection of writings by other authors, philosophers, etc. There is one that I have heard him use several times in speeches or books on tape that I have and I love it.
I saw grief drinking a cup of sorrow and called out, “It tastes sweet, does it not?” “You’ve caught me,” grief answered, “and you’ve ruined my business, how can I sell sorrow when you know it’s a blessing?”
Jalaluddin Rumi (1207 -1273)

An old boss, Shona Cunningham told me when I found out I was expecting Liam that I would finally know what love was when I had him and she was so right. He and Quincy are so completely wonderful - sometimes I think they are all I need. I hope to find love again someday and be wise enough to recognize it when it is before me. Until then, my love for my children and my growing love and respect for myself will be more than enough to get me by.

Very nice post. Thanks for sharing the quote about sorrow/grief, I needed that this week. I hope that things just keep getting better and better for you.
Is it anything I can help with?
