...and I love it:

"The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own
life is the source from which self-respect springs."

Now that's one hell of a true statement.

[livejournal.com profile] wendyg gave me The Year of Magical Thinking (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Year-Magical-Thinking-Joan-Didion/dp/000721684X) after my brother & mother died. I found that book at once insightful and utterly maddening (for reasons I'll elaborate on if you wish). However it did inspire me to dig deeper, and I've been reading We Tell Ourselves Stories in Order to Live (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tell-Ourselves-Stories-Order-Live/dp/0307264874) which is excellent.

how about afternoon? I have a church potluck and then table tennis tomorrow night.

I'm on the westside all day tomorrow - give a call when you're free, and you might be able to have lunch with me and S and then we could have tea and girly chat (provided your schedule allows). I haven't had a Victor's sandwich since the last time you were here.
