Almost Everything: Notes on Hope by Anne Lamott
Some quotes I want to remember:
We can change. People say we can’t, but we do when the stakes or the pain is high enough. And when we do, life can change. It offers more of itself when we agree to give up our busyness.
Gratitude is seeing how someone changed your heart and quality of life, helped you become the good parts of the person you are.
To have a few amazing friends on this side of eternity, this sometimes grotesque amusement park, is the greatest joy.
It’s ridiculous how hard life is. Denial and avoidance are unsuccessful strategies, but truth and awareness mend.
What helps is that we are not all crazy and hopeless on the same day.
Why did this happen? Why her? Well, because as my friend Karen says, this happens to people, and she is a human.
“Why?” is rarely a useful question in the hope business.
