Remembering those we have lost. In many places, Memorial Day is the day to visit the grave sites of loved ones and share stories, in addition to observing those who have died in service to our country. Do you have any Memorial Day traditions?

"Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.” But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed." - Kahlil Gibran

Joy chose you. You don't have to earn it or feel like you deserve it. You don't have to prepare. Allow it to join whatever else you're feeling in the moment. It's not joy OR sadness, but joy AND grief. Pictured: poem "Joy Chose You" by Donna Ashworth
