RJ 1: Anne Lamott

In preparation for the Glenn Workshop this year, I'm going to be reading Anne Lamott's Travelling Mercies and Annie Dillard's For the Time Being. So, I thought I'd share various tidbits as they came to me. This morning, I read the following from Anne Lamott:

and

Sometimes grief looks like narcolepsy.
