I'm reminded of the favors of almonds that are given at Greek weddings. They symbolize the bitter and the sweet of life. I remember eating the ones from our wedding, now almost 40 years ago. I think I was hoping to swallow the bitter and the sweet all at once. Of course, the bitter and the sweet followed us, and we've managed to plow through. This was a thought-provoking post.

Mine was in 1983 and it was awful. You either sink or swim and I was a really bad swimmer. I think it took two years to dog paddle to the shallow end of the pool. For sure a learning experience.
