Featured Poem: Sonnet 37 by William Shakespeare
The sound advise from the Bard in Sonnet 37 reminds us to celebrate the fortunes of others. When we find ourselves "made lame by fortune's dearest spite" there may be comfort to be found in the seeing others thrive.
It may be advise easier given than received for those feel a touch of the green eyed monsters when they find themselves down on their luck. But as Shakespeare reminds us, if we can appreciate and champion the happiness of others and wish them more of it, we'll in turn bring that joy back to ourselves.
