That sounds like a book worth reading. I guess we all feel that bittersweet emotion at times. I think I experience it more these days as I get older. Thanks for sharing, Lisa. Have a blessed week!

This sounds like another one I need to read! I love bittersweet chocolate more than I love bittersweet thoughts ;).

“It’s not that pain equals art. It’s that creativity has the power to look pain in the eye, and to decide to turn it into something better.”

I thnk that idea pairs well with the scripture Romans 8:28, that for the believer He turns everything into good. Eventually.

As someone who likes to gloss over the biter. I would like to read this book to rmember that all emotions are necessary. Thank you for sharing!

Wow, so many thought-provoking quotes! I’m finding that the older I get the more bittersweet everything is, and it’s not a bad thing. Sounds like that’s similar to the message here.

Love every one of these quotes:

No matter how much your culture tells you to smile, it’s not human to simply move on. But this doesn’t mean that we can’t move forward.”

~ * ~

“If we could honor sadness a little more, maybe we could see it—rather than enforced smiles and righteous outrage—as the bridge we need to connect with each other.”

~ * ~

“It’s not that pain equals art. It’s that creativity has the power to look pain in the eye, and to decide to turn it into something better.”

Thoughtful. Deep. True.

Thank you for taking time to share all this. My husband won’t thank you, however, b/c you are adding to my book list! 🙂
