How It All Still Gets Me

As I continue to read through “Lucky” I am surprised how I have found myself almost completely through it. I can’t believe how quickly it read and now I feel like I am not ready for it to be over. In a strange way it felt like a friend, like someone though I wasn’t speaking with, like there was a voice something that really understood it all and at times it really helped. I partly want to read other such books not necessarily for the content but just the feelings, the emotions of reading and finding understanding.

Reading “Lucky” in the midst of my healing journey….

I have been trying to commit to reading again and I recently finished a book so I decided, since I am writing this blog, that I will attempt to read Alice Sebold’s book “Lucky”. I actually had a friend recommend it to me some time ago and tried to read it but just was not physically and mentally up to it, but with all the “progress” that I feel that I have made, I felt like I was ready. Now that I have simply read the first chapter, I am not so sure.

Only When I Stop…

Most of the time it feels like everything is okay and I am just fine. There is nothing that I need to worry about or focus on and I can just be, in the moment. I need to focus on the here and now, but then if something happens or my mind wonders and it goes back there, where I was then, it is like my world just stops. I don’t even know what this is nor how to really combat it, but I just wonder is it normal? Are these things happening because I need to deal with stuff or is it just part of life?
