Doors

Because I was asked to participate by one of my favorite bloggers, namely Victoria at https://theemptiednotebooks.wordpress.com/2015/06/15/1512/ I am going to post  a favorite quote each day for the next three days.  As I explained to her, however, I’m not going to nominate three particular bloggers as there are so many excellent blogs that I’m following that I can’t really choose three.  Instead I’ll ask any of you who wish to do so to publish one of your favorite quotes on your blog.

Here is my quote for today:

When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones that open for us.
                                                                                                 –Alexander Graham Bell

This is a quote I used to introduce one of the chapters of my book, Lessons from A Grief Diary. It is probably the one that best encapsulates the theme of the book–merely that the main power we have in life is just to keep living it no matter what, creating the greatest amount of joy possible for ourselves and those around us.
