My friend Julie says something that I think we all need to take to heart:
Life. It isn't for the weak.
From time to time I forget just how hard it is to be among the living. Daily, in a myriad of ways, we and all people living have to deal with fear and loss. And to-do lists.
There is a phrase in Hebrew: Chaim, ze lo picnic. translates to "Life ain't no picnic."
Let's be kind to ourselves in the upcoming days, remembering that life is hard.
Spiritual-religious advice: Be compassionate to yourself (and others). Life is hard.
