Anna Quindlen, you are just too darn cool.

Thanks for these super cool stamps Jenn. Edited: Those great stamps are from Wordstworth.
I was looking through my quote files tonight and came across this commencement speech made by author Anna Quindlen that I had seen/read earlier this year. I think it also appears in her book: A Short Guide To A Happy Life. Seems like a good time of year to share it:
Anna Quindlen, you are just too darn cool.

Thanks Ali for this quote. Just what I needed to hear today. Since I started reading your blog, I've learned so many life lessons that I probably would have gotten around to in due time, but thanks for the push in the right direction. There's no such thing as coincidence, right?!? We are where we need to be when it's most needed. Thanks again Ali.

Thank you so very much for sharing those words, Ali! I'm feeling a little sorry for myself today ~~ in laws are coming tomorrow and we got invited to a family dinner tonight and my pup is not allowed to come and visit too, not even to stay in their garage! I really needed some encouragement and the words of Anna Quindlen really struck me a just sheer beauty!

Your bits and pieces of inspiration that you share never cease to move me or amaze me. Thank you for sharing the lovely Anna Quindlen with us.
It's a message I need to repeat to myself. Daily.

I sent this profound story to friends via email for my "awesome thoughts for the New Year" message. Each year I search for something meaningful to pass on to important folks in my life, and the moment I read this knew it was the one (giving full credit to Anna and her book, which I plan to gift to myself soon - thank you Anna). Thanks Ali.
