Legacies
“When we think of legacies, we often think of some major act, or series of acts, that affect people on a large scale. But ... by investing in one person, by sharing our knowledge, or something as simple as a book, we may set in motion a series of events that will leave a legacy long after we are gone.”
~ Joe Byerly, “From the Green Notebook”, The Sunday Email

Not in spite of but because of
“What I'm thinking about now aren't all the ways I can try to hang on to my youth or all the seconds ticking by in some kind of morbid countdown to death, but rather how I keep becoming someone I always hoped I could be.
If I'm lucky one day a very old face will look back at me from the mirror, a face I once shied away from. I will love that old woman ferociously, because she has finally figured out how to live a life of purpose—not in spite of but because of all her mistakes and failures.”
~ Jann Arden, “If I Knew Then”
