Spiritual Quote of the Day (Flannery O'Connor, With Bravery in the Face of Her Medical Condition)

“I have enough energy to write with and as that is all I have any business doing anyhow, I can, with one eye squinted, take it all as a blessing. ”— Southern novelist and short-story writer Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964), in a letter to poet Robert Lowell on being stricken with lupus, in The Habit of Being: Letters of Flannery O'Connor, edited by Sally Fitzgerald (1979)
