I Guess I Haven't Learned That Yet: Discovering New Ways of Living When the Old Ways Stop Working Quotes

“It’s easy, of course, to buzz the beach and find the sparkle on good days—days when the sun is shining and your heart is light. When it gets really hard, though, that’s when you start to understand that it’s a discipline, and you need it in the dark so much more desperately than you need it in the light. Joy and celebration are practices for the long haul. Whenever possible, walk out of your way for a few minutes, and take a few deep breaths somewhere beautiful. Whether that's a forest clearing, or a french bakery, or a path through a prairie, or a cobblestone street. Take the long way sometimes, reveling in the discovery of beauty, noticing everything you can. What it smells like, and the slant of the light, and how the sounds remind you of recess, or Rome, or Grand Rapids.”
