positively present picks: march 8, 2013

"We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life instead of being squashed by it over and over again. It's like singing on a boat during a terrible storm at sea.You can't stop the raging storm, but singing can change the hearts and spirits of the people who are together on that ship."

Anne Lamott
