'strange is our situation here upon earth.  each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why,  yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose.  from the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that we are here for the sake of others... for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy.  many times a day, i realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly i must exert myself to give in return as much as i have received.'

- albert einstein

celebrating life

how can we celebrate every day?

with gratitude - 

no matter how bad things can seem, there is always something to be thankful for... 

with purpose -

time is short, life is short - do something everyday that you can be proud of... it doesn't have to be big, just meaningful...

with love -

sometimes love gets buried under all kinds of waxy build up... and it seems hard... life can be difficult... but the crazy heart knows that love is the easiest thing of all to do... what or who we love differs from person to person, but the emotion is present for all to experience... so maybe the crazy heart is not so crazy after all...
