Perfect Endings

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.” - Gilda Radner


Perfect endings, don't exist.  I am able to embrace that reality.  But I think there is a perfectness that I can embrace for my own endings.  I acknowledge that everything happens for a reason.  I have to, although it certainly frustrates me that life doesn't work out the way I would like it to sometimes.  


The quote above by Gilda is even more poignant when you consider she passed away at the early age of 41 at her prime.
