In relating our misfortunes, we often feel them lightened.
I've always been someone who is pretty hard on herself. But I've lightened up a lot.
When the unwelcome little unborn shall have seen the light my brain will be lightened, and I shall have a clearer mind. Thank God that even this weary nine months shall come to an end and leave me in possession of my own body and my own soul.
That blessed mood in which the burthen of the mystery, in which the heavy and the weary weight of all this unintelligible world is lightened.
If you have an open, loving, positive attitude, anything burdensome in life can be lightened!
