The solution is always spiritual, and it almost never has anything to do with the problem ... laughter is carbonated holiness.

Trying to reason with an addict was like trying to blow out a lightbulb.

But easy's like, who cares? Easy's like, how much is easy going to get you?

All these people keep waxing sentimental about how fabulously well I am doing as a mother, how competent I am, but I feel inside like when you're first learning to put nail polish on your right hand with your left. You can do it, but it doesn't look all that great around the cuticles.

Gratitude begins in our hearts and then dovetails into behavior. It almost always makes you willing to be of service, which is where the joy resides. It means that you are willing to stop being such a jerk. When you are aware of all that has been given to you, in your lifetime and the past few days, it is hard not to be humbled, and pleased to give back.

I am going to notice the lights of the earth, the sun and the moon and the stars, the lights of our candles as we march, the lights with which spring teases us, the light that is already present.

Learning to love back is the hardest part of being alive.
