Today’s Thinking Out Loud reflection is on Boris Pasternack’s work, Dr. Zhivago.
“I don’t think I could love you so much if you had nothing to complain of and nothing to regret. I don’t like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and of little value. Life hasn’t revealed its beauty to them.”
Note: Have you read the Velveteen Rabbit? It’s a children’s book with a beautiful message. We are the sum of our experiences. I like being around real people. People who have struggled yet refused to quit. People who haven’t had it easy and had the grit to get up each day and keep grinding. They know that life isn’t easy. They know if they endure they’ll make it to another sunrise. They know that other people are depending on them. There are a piece of marble that life sculptured into a masterpiece. That’s you! You are a masterpiece in the making.

I was reflecting for a moment on my life today. I remembered some of the tough moments. I realized that those moments helped to shape and mold me. If we love who we are, we are grateful for ALL we experienced, the good and bad. Shine on. Ray
