"If you think back and replay your year, if it doesn't bring you tears, either joy or sadness, consider the year wasted" - John Cage, Ally McBeal
In between his bathroom isometrics and his whistling nose, the little weird man in that show had some pretty spot on moments - and this was one of them for me.
All too often tears of sadness are dismissed as joyless times that are to be forgotten. But those can be the moments where profound lessons are begging to be learned. The sad times, the good times - they are simply life yearning for you to grow.
Look back on your year, remember the joy and the tears...and smile.
