"Life is just a bowl of cherries," they say—but what happens when all that remains are the pits?
Life often begins with sweetness—moments of joy, love, and opportunity, much like a bowl of ripe cherries. But as time passes, challenges, losses, and regrets accumulate, leaving behind the inescapable "pits" of experience.
Yet rather than dwelling on what’s left behind, the key to a fulfilling life is in truly savoring each moment while it lasts. Every joy, no matter how fleeting, is worth embracing, for even the most delicious cherries come with pits.
If we focus too much on what remains after the sweetness fades, we risk missing the beauty of the fruit itself. So, greet each morning with gratitude, embrace life’s simple pleasures, and enjoy the cherries while they're still in your bowl.
