Dusk, Night, Dawn: On Revival and Courage by Anne Lamott

 

"Like? What an odd idea. That's not what I wanted. I thought it was supposed to be more Barefoot in the Park, less lifey. I don't want life to be about finding out who I am. That doesn't work for me at all. I want my life to be about doing well and feeling mildly euphoric a lot of the time, and being a do gooder and loved and admired by everyone. Also, if I was being honest, I'd like to get my weight down, and for my dog not to have gotten so old, and for God to give me answers and freedom instead of just some old trusted friend to tell my terrible secrets to."
