Must be the week for good quotes...

But we can always learn from the wise words of others. This one is my first lesson in married life (though I'm not quite there yet).

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves,

and not to twist them to fit our own image.

Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

~Thomas Merton

After all, we should be celebrating the diversity of life. It keeps things interesting :)
