I learned that we can do anything, but we can't do everything... at least not at the same time.

A good friend is a connection to life — a tie to the past, a road to the future.
Lois Wyse
Lois Wyse was a prolific advertising executive in the mid-20th century, with several well-known slogans under her belt, including the famous catchphrase, "With a name like Smucker's, it has to be good." Among the more than 65 books she authored is the 1995 title “Women Make the Best Friends,” in which Wyse gathers observations and stories about the importance and joy of close friendships. Her words here push us to see our friendships not as fleeting connections, but as beacons of stability and joy amid life’s tumultuous changes.

Just because things hadn't gone the way I had planned didn't necessarily mean they had gone wrong.
Ann Patchett
Author Ann Patchett's self-inspired essay "What Now?" — the work in which these reaffirming words appear — offers hope to those who find themselves at a crossroads. Patchett describes being thrust into many unfamiliar situations but finding fulfillment throughout those unexpected journeys, much like many of the characters endured in "Bel Canto," a gritty yet tender novel for which she received critical acclaim. This quote is a reminder that our path in life is always changing, and curveballs can offer some of our greatest lessons and joys. While we may set out to accomplish certain goals, there's no greater tool than having an open mind and a willingness to accept wherever the road may take us.

My dear, don't let the sun go down upon your anger; forgive each other, help each other, and begin again to‑morrow.
~Louisa May Alcott, Little Women, "Jo Meets Apollyon," 1868
