Life is beautiful. Watch the movie by Roberto Benigni and you will see that life is often beautiful in unexpected and bittersweet ways.
I've been reading Viktor Frankl, and it always puts me in a pensive but hopeful mood.
A few quotes from Viktor Frankl:
"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."
"Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked."
I am Thankful for my Life
We got back from church, had our easter egg hunt as I checked the ribs I had smoking. I blasted out some Mercedes Sosa (QDEP). One of the most touching songs she sings is "Gracias a la Vida," loosely translated "Thank You to Life," written by Violeta Parra (QDEP). It is a deeply beautiful song where she sings about life's simple pleasures and how she is so grateful for them.
This version features both Mercedes Sosa and Violeta Parra and has some cool scenes from South America. Makes me wish I was there again:
