Be soft . . .

Stumbled upon this gem by Kurt Vonnegut . . .

"Be soft.  Do not let the world make you hard.  Do not let the pain make you hate.  Do not let the bitterness steal away your sweetness.  Take pride that even though the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place."

I am grateful for the people in my life who help me to stay soft and to keep the hard edges away . . . who help me to not hate . . . who help me to keep bitterness at bay . . . who help me to remember how beautiful this world can be . . . who help me to love . . .
