Sometimes

“People kept trying to prepare me for how soft and mushy my stomach would be after I gave birth, but I secretly thought, Not this old buckerina. I think most people undergoing chemo secretly believe they won’t lose their hair.
“Oh, but my stomach, she is like a waterbed covered with flannel now. When I lie on my side in bed, my stomach lies politely beside me, like a puppy.”
- Anne Lamott, Operating Instructions

Sometimes I read something that makes me laugh and laugh and then I stop laughing and think wow, that hits the spot.
