“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

I had the day off today. Worked out at the rec center. Went to Salvation Army for some new shirts and pants. While there, the love of my life walked in. We had lunch.

I came home, choked with emotion. I turned to Ann Voskamp. It was like she was there with me the whole time.

You can cut umbilical cords but you can’t cut heart strings.

“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

Don’t grieve that it’s gone, wonder that it was.

Laugh that you lived and dance that you dared.

Inhale that it happened — and it was grace.

The best way to prepare for what’s ahead is to be present to what is now.

Be present to the gift of now.
