What I Learned - The Life List by Lori Nelson Spielman
Have had this lovely book on my shelf for a while and it didn't disappoint. This was my post op read after my surgery a few weeks ago and was the perfect medicine. I laughed and cried and gasped my way through this gorgeous read. What I Learned: One of Carl Jung's most famous quotes I think. It's so important to dream, but it's also really important to stop, breathe, and figure out you really are and what it is that really makes you tick. This is the only way to figure out if the dreams you are working towards are truly yours, or if they are born through the expectations of others. I had to stop, catch my breath and re-read this line. "I have so much more daughter left in me." Such a simple statement that in a few words sums up grief perfectly. Made all the more poignant given the unique situation we all find ourselves in just now. How beautiful is this? There is always more living to do and it is always so so hard to lose
