Trifextra Challenge: 33-ish

“…disease?
What’s that?
“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”
His voice dropped to a whisper.
“Let it come in.”

― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays With Morrie pg. 16 – the words of Morrie Schwartz

Ok so my original submission was not quite 33 words…it was only 30 but I updated it to include three words to satisfy the rules of the challenge. I hope you still get what I was trying to say. In this chapter Morrie was telling Mitch what was the most important lesson his disease was teaching him. Tuesdays with Morrie is one of my favourite books and this is one of my favourite quotes from it. “LET LOVE IN!”

February, is after all, the month of Love!

    Let it come in? I donno, will it wipe it’s shoes first? Sometimes love just up and tracks crud all over my heart. Love can be quite messy!

    Cute selection. 😉

      Hmmm…I dont think Love is messy I think our expectations make it messy. But as long as you have a welcome mat…Love will wipe it’s feet before entering.

    Great quote from a great novel! I taught TwM a few years back and BAWLED my eyes out. Students thought I was crazy and I didn’t care! If you don’t cry when you read it, then you don’t have a soul!! 🙂
