“When I look over my past, I see that the stages in my life are like the phases of the moon. I've had periods where I was the waxing gibbous: fat with wealth and success. There have been other seasons when my happiness was like the waning crescent and I watched my joy fade away slowly, merging with the atmosphere around me as if it never existed. Then I felt as if I was left with nothing more than an illusion, but happiness returns in time and glows once more in corpulent fullness. It's time that makes the difference.” IfsLooksHas BeensPastJoyLeftFeltDifferencesWealthStageReturnPeriodsMoonIllusionSeasonsFatsAtmosphereFadesPhasesFullnessMy PastFade AwayMergingCrescentWaxingWealth And SuccessPhases Of The Moon Author:Amy Neftzger
