 “May we all live on pedestals, and never fall off.” -  Marty Alvarez

Recently, I witnessed the epiphany of a new friend. A gathering of women were sitting and talking, and this sweet, soft-spoken woman was trying to explain why she’s been on the verge of divorce for more than a decade. She said that as soon as she decides it’s really time to move on, something always stops her. In a nutshell, she finds herself wondering if she’s discontent because her expectations of love and marriage are just too high. When she said this, there was a resounding “no!” around the table, and these strong, vibrant women all agreed that we will get out of life no more than we are willing to accept. We concluded that there is far less danger in falling off a pedestal than in never enjoying that lovely view at all, and that it is never wise to succumb to cynicism and mediocrity.
