A friend shares a found thought.
"I read this little bit yesterday, and wanted to be sure to share it with you....Ms. Kogan speaking of a certain generation of women:
"We juggle jobs, mortgages, student loans, and cancer treatments with low-fat diets, low-impact aerobics, low-grade depressions, a strong sense of irony, a dark sense of humor and a full-bodied cabernet.
We are tired. We are very tired - we've thought seriously about penciling in a nervous breakdown for ourselves, but we've been through everything the world has to throw at us so many times that it's damn near impossible to get nervous about much of anything.
Despite (or perhaps because of) all the coulda woulda shoulda moments that have come and gone, we've learned how to have a good laugh, an impromptu party, and an impure thought (or two) on a semi regular basis. We consider our options, our alternatives, our exit strategies. We take notes, we plan ahead, but we always leave room for senendipity. We are an entire generation of women who are making up our lives as we go along."
Later in the article she outlines a few lessons she keeps learning, and my favorite one:
"What doesn't kill me does not make me stronger. It makes me anxious, bitchy and vulnerable....but nobody wants to see that embroidered on a pillow."
Have a great day!"
