Each moment is either a blessing to enjoy (and that’s a lesson) or a lesson to be learned (and that’s a blessing). – Polly Berrien Berends
Berends refers to this as a “blesson” in her book, Coming to Life, one of the four books that has changed my life. (The others: Robert Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance; Richard Nelson Bolles’ What Color is Your Parachute?; Kent Nerburn’s Letters to My Son.)
I’ve come to realize that the more I take a “blesson” outlook throughout each day, the more I enjoy the day and the better the day goes. Another quote to add to my FRQ list.
