I'm going to forward it to my niece, who is having similar feelings. Thank you for writing about it so well. I love it that you referred to things I'm familiar with.

Perhaps it's a cliche, but it's a good one to remember: "G-d writes straight with crooked lines." You'll see.<br /><br />Be well, and take it "bird-by-bird" as you (and Lamott) said. That little phrase went immediately into my quote book. Even in your pain you are inspiring. You're a singular person and one I'm glad to "know". <br /><br />Hugs, Dear Girl.<br /><br />HollyHollyhttp://lifewithspectre.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12829830.post-58315429502248923692012-04-16T23:17:29.645-04:002012-04-16T23:17:29.645-04:00I think you've got it right, Molly -- bird by ...I think you've got it right, Molly -- bird by bird, day by day.

Mine was shattered a few months ago when my partner told me he didn't love me anymore. I had almost changed my entire life and planned a huge move from Australia to the US just so we could be together. Picking up the pieces and starting life all over again by yourself does hurt just as much as a broken bone. No use in me reading 'Bird by Bird' - he gave me a copy, inscribed with love.<br />I hope that your new home proves to be a haven for you. A place you can reconcile the pieces of yourself and know that you are more than what you lost. You are greater for having lived with love, even after it is gone.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06635526268756076480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12829830.post-26515464882001217312012-04-10T19:08:05.032-04:002012-04-10T19:08:05.032-04:00Truly sorry Molly.

After a breakup, I found my way to blogging and it has been a wonderful way to enjoy cooking for one while also getting to share it with others. Lamott is a smart woman. And you are too. Bird by bird (and, occasionally, the one too many cocktails) will help get you through. :)A Plum By Any Other Namehttp://www.aplumbyanyothername.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12829830.post-48058256275634733962012-04-10T13:29:52.261-04:002012-04-10T13:29:52.261-04:00Oh Molly ...
