Today, I had a bit of time to relax and grab a bite to eat at a new to me little coffee shop. As I was getting ready to leave, I noticed the saying near the bottom of the cup.
The saying is typical of the somewhat cheesy sayings that adorn Korean stationary, but for some reason it struck me. Lately, I have been contemplating my hate for saying goodbyes, my tendency to hold people at arms length so that it does not hurt as much to say goodbye. (Hopefully, a blog post on the topic will be appearing soon). Anyway, the coffee cup helped me realize that by loving people well, you are able to really enjoy them during the time they are in your life no matter how long or short that time may be.
Loving people may lead to heartache and pain but it also can lead to joy and make your heart smile.
