“Regardless of what happens…you’ll have a baby. An amazing little being who will blow your mind and expand your heart and make you think things you never thought and remember things you believed you forgot and heal things you imagined would never heal and forgive people you’ve begrudged for too long and understand things you didn’t understand before you fell madly in love with a tiny tyrant who doesn’t give a damn whether you need to pee. You will sing again if you stopped singing. You will dance again if you stopped dancing. You will crawl around on the floor and play chase and tickle and peek-a-boo. You’ll make towers of teetering blocks and snakes and rabbits with clay. It’s an altogether cool thing.”
-Cheryl Strayed, on becoming a mother, Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar

"Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.
You have turned for me my mourning into dancing
you have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!"
Psalm 30:5b, 11-12 (ESV)
