I have moments where I wonder what is the purpose to just life in general and what a great message of being grateful that we are here and that we can feel. It reminds me of the law of opposites: grieve so we can feel joy. I love this quote because she seems to show gratitude for any feeling including those less desirable.Paige Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11247954231648357794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193051508933511187.post-62463276667707730812015-01-18T14:15:59.346-07:002015-01-18T14:15:59.346-07:00I need to read this book!

It makes you want to do nothing for the rest of the day but sit and think about it.

I haven't read most of the literature you mentioned, but the insights you shared about them makes me curious to read them and learn the insights they have to give about life.Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146540454666218404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193051508933511187.post-17358453814522770912015-01-17T21:19:30.179-07:002015-01-17T21:19:30.179-07:00Amazing how hearing (or reading) your thoughts or ...Amazing how hearing (or reading) your thoughts or feelings expressed somehow shrinks them. Or at least makes them more bearable. I agree completely about "The Book Thief", by the way. What was it about Death's voice that was so compelling to you? I guess I need to read the rest of the literature you mentioned. Katie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024734270882884815noreply@blogger.com
