"The sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic, or intellectual, forms a bridge between the sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared between them, and lessens the threat of their difference." - Audre Lorde
I honestly believe that one of the most delightful feelings of happiness I experience is when I'm able to share in someone else's. That's one of the joys of true friendship is that when they are struggling, it hurts your heart as well, but when they're happy, your heart overflows with happiness for them.
Today started with me getting two exciting pieces of news from friends. My best friend gets to meet her niece for the first time today! And one of my other best friends just found out her sister is expecting. She is 40 and has had infertility problems, adopted 3 children, and was told she would never conceive. I cried. Of course ... I just have such a special place in my heart for women who aren't able to conceive.
I love being able to share that. It is such a gift to my heart.Pin It
