“The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.”   —   Anna Quindlen

(I’m not sure that this is a universal issue.  I’m sure that it applies to a good number of people, but how many I don’t know.  It makes for a nice long cryptoquote, although a pretty simple solve.  I just don’t feel comfortable commenting on it one way or the other.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(I think you have to have a love of reading . . . just to get through this quote!  Twenty six words!  Twenty eight, if you count the author’s name.  Definitely one of the longest quotes we’ve had with the Cryptoquote.  It also was one of the most efficient, in that it uses all but the letters J, X and Z.  Maybe “efficient” isn’t quite the right word.  Someone help me out on this!  Until then, be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR  😉
