Sunday Wisdom

“I must learn to love the fool in me–the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool.” –Theodore I. Rubin, MD

i love this, for while i do fancy myself super strong, possibly Super Strong complete with cape and powerful jewelery, the list of foolish things in my book is endless. . . thank goodness.

while in line to see Curtains, I tell Kizz, “I’ll be right back” take ohhh maybe four steps out of the line to throw my cup away and come right back. Like I was just going to skip out and not come back?

Following directions to dinner, and directions being “the park will be behind you” I c cross the street, and walk past the park in order for it to be behind me. . . then walked back the correct way…”BEHIND ME” now I get it.

I love my Fool. I embrace her. Life is too short to be mired down in the sticky mucky day to day serious that can suck the life out of us. TOO SHORT.

Enjoy your day. Embrace your fool. Go to brunch and have a mimosa and laugh and laugh and laugh. I’m going to watch some football and have a day off work.
