elections loom, even though I know greed will win and there is no hope, so I should already be resignedly miserable, I am still anxious. I guess I am anxious because I know many people who are still hopeful. I find this hard to imagine. I am hopeful about many things. I am certain about Ever Lasting Life. I am certain about God's Love. And that is much more important than good results on any election day! I just don't have any hope for our country. Because greed seems to win on this side of the Jordan. So be it. Still this is an anxious time and I don't look forward to seeing the crestfallen faces of my dear friends on Wednesday morning. Anne Lamott's Almost Everything: Notes of Hope was a wonderful read for this time of ennui.
I have been encouraged to read her before but foolishly never have. I am so glad I did. To get an idea of the magic in this book and the hope, I suggest this article.
For mother, others, those who worry about food and weight or getting older or death. This book is just a blessing.
