Marty, my mother used to say, “Never get greedy with
God.” I think what she meant was "Don't dare ask for more if you already
have what you need." [ James
Patterson, The Christmas Wedding]
The past week I’ve thought a lot about the okayness of
asking for what I want. I realise I am something of a walking contradiction,
wanting to go to appointments and for tests on my own but wanting the people I love
accessible.
It smacks of greediness. And unworthiness. I am sorting it
out, I think, BEcause that’s what I DO…
“I don't get it,”
Caroline said, bemused. “She's the only one with wings. Why is that?“
There were so many
questions in life. You couldn't ever have all the answers. But I knew this one.
“It's so she can fly,” I said. Then I started to run. [Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever]

There are, indeed, so many questions and I know I should BE
asking some that I am NOT. Yet, anyway. I am following the bouncing ball.
Taking the steps that are in front of me. It doesn’t DO me much good to think
ahead and force answers to questions I canNOT yet grasp.
Ask for advice, and
then use your brain. [Vikrant Parsai]
This is good wisdom for always.
I love you, Currie
