some thoughts on motherhood, marriage, learning to love my own face in the mirror, wondering about the lady in the tangerine coat in the bean aisle at the market, writing - the usual suspects.

Move On To Joy
November 4
Move On to Joy
Are you willing to be here in constant, abject pain one minute longer? I'm not. Are you willing to be here suffering endlessly and needlessly through distressing situations - worrying, fussing, fretting about things you can do nothing about? I'm not. And we don't have to be.
We're here to feel joy and absorb all of life's beauty we can. If pain comes, let it pass quickly through. Then move on to joy.
It's a conscious choice.
-Melody Beattie
Thus ends today's reading.
A helpful one for this recovering worrier...
Passing it on to you, dear readers.
Peace be with you. And JOY too!
I'll be back on Monday.
