When the wind does not blow your way, adjust your sails.
These words spoken by Elizabeth Edwards on the challenges of life and loss.
I’m at a loss for words tonight over news of her death. Earlier this week, we got news of one of Dad’s lifelong friends losing his battle to cancer just one week after diagnosis.
A brush with perspective. A jolt. Yet another heartbreaking reminder of the preciousness and fragility of life.
Tonight, I pray for gratitude, perspective and joy. I pray for presence of mind so that each day I may love, smile and give as if there were no tomorrow.
