I ran across this quote today, and wanted to share it....

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

-- Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

What a beautiful quote, Anne. It reminds me of my very favourite term "wounded healer", that those who have been through the most pain and suffering end up being the most powerful healers, because of the depth of compassion and empathy that can only come from having journeyed through those dark nights of their own.

Great quote, Anne, and so true! I tweet a daily quote but I think this one is too long. :-)
