There was a phrase my Mom used all the time. It was like a mantra, and I don’t know about my sisters, but it got etched in my mind as a clear message of how Life works and how we should live it.
“Lo mejor que hizo Dios fue un dia despues del otro.”
(The best thing G-d made was one day after the other.)
It’s all about letting time pass and being open to the healing it brings.
Of course, my Mom also used to say, “La ultima la paga el diablo,” (the devil pays the last one) so I also have that mantra to guide me. Not sure what that says about me. 😉
“I’m not looking back
But I want to look around me now
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Time stands still
“Summer’s going fast, nights growing colder
Children growing up, old friends growing older
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Experience slips away
Experience slips away…
The innocence slips away”
Time Stand Still – Rush

@JJ – good job bringing in the Rush.
@Daniel – wonderful photo, and a lot of good wisdom from your mom.
also … a semi tongue-in-cheek/semi-serious question: Are you allowed to write “Dios” out in full?

Normally, no. But here it was a quote, so I left it. 🙂
Also, thanks.
