Quote of the day

"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."
-Edith Wharton
There are two ways to spread light feelings. Be the source, or be one to help it bounce around to someone else. Both are good! Sometimes being the source of something can be a really good thing, because you can spread the light as much as you want until you run out. Mirrors are really good, too, because they just allow the light to hit them and continue to keep spreading around everyone. Although, perhaps this could also mean something quite different. Maybe it means that the mirror is only bouncing the light off of it and not keeping any of it for itself. Maybe it is saying that the mirror just wants nothing to do with the light so it just bounces it straight off. I suppose it's all in how you think of it. The way I think of it is assuming the mirror that reflects it is also taking a little bit of it in for themselves, and then helping by continuing to spread the light to everyone else. You don't always have to be the source, but if someone is making you happy, turn around and make someone else happy, too!
