When we do the hard, intimate work of friendship, we bring a little more of the divine into daily life.

"I know now that I can make it through more than I thought, with less than I thought. I know better than to believe that the changes are over, and I know better than to believe the next ones will be easier, but I've learned the hard way that change is one of God's greatest gifts and one of his most useful tools."

"When life is sweet, say thank you and celebrate. And when life is bitter, say thank you and grow."
