You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this
world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. [John Green, The Fault in Our Stars]
It can BE a real challenge for me to NOT DO something. To
NOT ask a question. To NOT focus on the one bit of hurtful something instead of
the larger chunk of amazing something. Most of all it I find it difficult to BE
Still and DO Nothing.
Yet I’m fond of the expression: Don’t Just DO Something,
Sit There!! It lets me laugh at my silly self.
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live. [J.K.
Rowling, Harry
Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone]
For some years I have worked hard at learning to live Right
Now. In this moment. With whatever is and whatever is NOT. Neither wishing nor
hoping, regretting nor projecting. I am an amateur. Often I feel I am an
imposter. But I keep at it. Like building muscle strength.
And sometimes Life lets me see that this was intended, that
I have been focused on the Right Thing[s] DOing this.
Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds
in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. [H. Jackson Brown Jr., P.S. I Love You]
Don’t wait…
I love you, Currie

I have those nights on occasion where I reply conversations in my head. Not nearly so much as I used to, thank goodness. But--don't--is a useful thing for those times. Wish my head would listen. I usually get up and read or watch something to get my mind off of it. LOL!
