Tuesdays with Morrie

An excerpt from my old time favorite book `Tuesdays with Morrie' by Mitch Albom:

There is no experience lie having children. That's all. There is no substitute for it. You cannot do it with a friend. You cannot do it with a lover f you want the experience of having complete responsibility for another human being, and to learn how to love and bond in the deepest way, they you should have children.

Reading this book for a second time and today, I was reading it in a public place while drinking my hot chocolate. I got embarassed and looked down, letting my hair fall to curtain my tears. This book never fails to inspire me. I will recommend it to everyone and I won't tire of reading it.

Morrie gives me perspective. sometimes we do indeed get absorbed in our day to day activities that we sometimes miss the finer things in life. My kindle is full of HIGHLIGHTS! (more than a dozen!). I want to regularly go back to every phrase and reflect on

Now that I think about it, I should not be ashamed of unshed tears. I should be proud to FEEL the pain, the joy, the disappointments and move on.
