As the thoughts come, invade, barge in, try to drag me somewhere, I say wisely, as if I am wise, to myself I say, is this something I can control? And of course, 99.9% of the time the answer is no, so then I say, so don't think about it. And I don't.
Why does it take 47 years to learn that?
A post or two ago I raved about a book, Bridge of Sighs. I'm a fast reader, but this book, I have only read at night in bed, where I don't last too long. Last night, I got pissed at the book. Why hasn't he written anything about Lou and Sarah having sex? it makes no sense and I feel like throwing it across the room. There must be some huge reveal coming up, he's too good a writer. Is he? Grr. Must finish this book.

Date: 2009-02-07 03:19 pm (UTC)and i hear you on the "not worrying about things you can't control." my mother gave me that bit of advice years ago and it's proven to be a very powerful bit of advice. if she hadn't said that to me, i'm not sure how long it would have taken me to learn that one.

I've not heard of the book you're reading, but now I'm intrigued. I'll have to put it on my very, very, very long list. May get to it by 2012. I'm currently reading The Moment I First Believed by Wally Lamb, which my daughter gave me for Christmas. It's really good, but I usually only read before bed, too, so I only get through a few pages before sleep takes over.
The worrying thing - as a counselor, I try to teach that to the kids I work with. Haven't really mastered it myself, though. But it makes so much sense.
Love reading about you!
