Your last paragraph is helpful: "Knowing that I don’t deserve all of the credit for the good things or blame for the bad things makes it easier to adapt to whatever happens. It helps me stop desperately trying to control circumstances and other people and accept that I cannot."
You’re welcome! The quote about a well-placed expletive being more valuable than all the inspiration in the world is my personal favorite. Both books are tearjerkers, but I appreciate the hard-won wisdom she shares in them.

Thank you, Mary. If I could always stop myself from trying to control circumstances and other people, life would be much less disappointing ☺️
Seek truth and sometimes the truth hurts. You shared some great quotes! Thanks!!
