Quote of the day:
"... Therefore, the more sorrows one sees the more perfect one becomes. That is why, in all times, the Prophets of God have had tribulations and difficulties to withstand. The more often the captain of a ship is in the tempest and difficult sailing the greater his knowledge becomes. Therefore I am happy that you have had great tribulations and difficulties. For this I am very happy - that you have had many sorrows. Strange it is that I love you and still I am happy that you have sorrows." - Abdu'l-Baha
It helps me to remember that the Manifestations of God dealt with health challenges, as well as many many many other difficulties during their lives. It also makes me feel a little better remembering that Abdu'l-Baha does love me. It's amazing how much that one little thought warms my heart. He was such an incredible person - perfectly exemplifying the qualities of justice, patience, kindness, love, wisdom, and equality, among many others.
Today has been harder health-wise, with my throat swollen all day no matter how much I rest. The musical last night was fun, but today hasn't been because of it. Just two weeks and I go home!
