Acceptance is the key to everything.

I have so many things that I say to my kids, I just drive them crazy.

I wait for good opportunities to come up to do stuff; I'm not seeking things. I'm quite busy in the meantime, but if the right thing came up, I would be happy to do it.

My whole life, meeting people is like a blind date, because I feel like they've already seen the video on me.

If you fixate on the worst-case scenario and it actually happens, you’ve lived it twice.

There are no moments you have frozen in amber. It's moving, it's changing, so appreciate what's good about right now and be ready for what's next.

Turning fully toward the glass, I consider what I see. This reflected version of myself, wet, shaking, rumpled, pinched, and slightly stoop, would be alarming were it not for the self-satisfied expression pasted across my face. I would ask the obvious question, 'what are you smiling about?' But I already know the answer: 'It just gets better from here.'
