Life, Interrupted (quotes)
For the first time in almost five years, I’ve missed blogging my regular monthly quotes twice and am nearing the possibility of making it a third… One might assume I’ve merely been sucked into the usual Summer Mayhem at OP (straight into tradeshow season), but those closest to me know that Life has actually been ‘challenging’ the last few months, to say the least. I ought to be grateful the suffering isn’t directly mine, but for one so empathetic, I truly wish it were. The hardships, losses and life-altering changes to so many near to me (when there really are quite few), has been difficult to endure. I thought to offer a list of these trials so you have an exact understanding, but for the first time, it seems that the details don’t matter… what does is that Life is Love and Love is Living and never forget all of it is fleeting - everything and everyone changes, even in an instant. So remember to laugh often, tell your friends and family you care, listen more, complain less and always treat others with kindness - you never know who’s hurting.
I hope it goes without saying that I intend to cram this entry with quotes, seeing as I’ve neglected sharing for so long. These include those that have helped sustain, comfort and strengthened me recently - I hope some might do the same for you, should you ever need. xo
