Thank you for your candor and guidance. Beautiful. I'm having some February anniversary grief lately about a friend I lost a long time ago, although it's faint due to the distance of years. It seems... small... next to your challenges, challenges I can only imagine, and even then, likely not imagine well. Thanks again. Your blend of optimism and reality, daybreak and sunset, does indeed accent the need for acceptance of balance.

"This isn’t a call for endless or unfounded optimism. Sometimes life is shit, and all you can do is cry. But when someone reaches out a hand to coax you out of your misery, take it. Let yourself be guided back to the light."

Beautiful. Thank you for this, Yardena. Your honesty is both inspiring and refreshing.

I'm going to send this piece to my friend who has Parkinson's. He will feel understood by your words in a way he likely can't feel understood by so many. The thing giving me grief is not know what path to move forward on right now. Thanks for sharing so honestly.
