A friend of mine is going through a difficult transition, but she has a wonderful optimism and gains perspective from this quote by the late Gilda Radner, actress and comedian of Saturday Night Live fame:
“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle , and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.”
You don’t have to demand perfection. You just have to keep an open mind, take advantage of opportunities and enjoy the ride.
