The next day is always better. She was right.
Aren't grandmas the greatest gift of all?? Mine was 100% Italian and came through Ellis Island, the gifts of her wisdom have carried me my whole life. She taught me to walk again, she gave me spirit, and spunk and showed me that I would prevail regardless of illness or anything else. For that and thousands of other things, she also said a very similar thing to what your grandmother said that you relate here, never ever go to bed with that anger, but I love the pharasing "they are too heavy to hold and TOO TOO toxic to keep, the next day is always better." Beautiful and SMART. THANK YOU FOR THIS.
