Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana – Groucho Marx
So what does this have to do with health? It makes me laugh, and laughing is good. It’s an inconsistent, absurd thought that often takes me out of despair, and into curiosity, wonderment and makes me want to solve a problem. Sort of meditative for the non-ascetic, western girl.
I often try to find the silliness, the absurdity in my world. It reminds me that I am human, with the ability to think and to reason, and sometimes, I am a little in charge. A very little. Or at least I think so – I can always re-think a problem.
I let myself feel anxiety, grief, sadness, anger, confusion, general pissed-offess (but I try not to direct it inward). I try really hard never to point that pistol of blame back at myself.
I don’t believe that things happen for a reason. Crap happens and we construct the reason to make sense of the crap. Sometimes we have the opportunity to turn crap into an adventure or a prison. That’s what makes us human.
Hmmm… might come back to this one later. It’s a bit odd….
I don’t know how I missed this challenge thing. Oh well…
Love the Groucho Marx quote.
Also love your statement, “I don’t believe that things happen for a reason. Crap happens…”
I agree. Life is one big crap shoot.
Thanks for getting back to writing! Good luck with the challenge.

Thanks Nancy! Well, I hope I’ll keep up with it, but even if I don’t, writing again is good!
Yeah, life is a big crap shoot, and it’s all we can do to navigate the crap.
