"I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing." - Agatha Christie

I too have been "wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow" at times. I imagine you have too. Haven't we all?
 

With this understanding, let's open the gift of compassion and apply it generously, like a healing balm, upon ourselves and others. 

To be alive is a grand thing! Let's embrace it.

With gratitude,
Charlene
