A Book, A friend, Happiness

Dear Readers,
There will be hard to handle things in your life. Some you will take a long time and eventually heal from, others require a licensed physician or a stay in the mental ward. I have a "prescription" (discliamer: for all you nincompoops out there, i am not claiming to cure anything- this is advice....look it up.) for you. All of us have that one person we can talk to about any old thing, or sit in their presence and they know you will strangle them if they ask about it, so they kindly ignore it with you. If you have  one of these or 50, you are a lucky person! Hang on to em! They are worth more than all the nice things in the world. Better than a day in the garden!

The prescription i speak of is as follows. Grab up that person who knows your soul, snuggle them close and spend the day with them. Then, that night, when the difficult things sit on the end of your bed and stare at you, go to your bookcase and grab up your favorite book and read until your eyes close. It confuses the hard to handle thing at the end of your bed and it forgets to sleep next to you. The next morning, Dr. Farmtress recommends that you go someplace quiet, where the wind blows, and the sky is blue, (even if its a painting in your living room, or a screen saver on your computer, and let the thing that is bothering you speak deeply to you. It obviously has a lot to say, and your heart needs to be unoccupied in order to hear it. Once you've given it the floor, soak it up. Im not saying all this will make the whole thing easier, but the difficult thing will have exhausted itself, so it wont be hopping up in the middle of day-to-day life to bother you. No one likes bursting into tears at the checkout of CVS, and frankly, no one knows what to say to you. Also, you probably avoid being referred to the Domestic Violence shelter (especially if youre naturally clumsy and have random bruises on your arms from accidentally hugging a bookcase). You can also listen to terribly sad music, but diffucult things rather like sad music and it may just encourage them to stay around.

Difficult things dont simply go away, dear readers, instead they must be trained to keep quiet in public places and wait for your full attention. They also dont like to be stuffed down in the bottom of your pocketbook. SO deal with them! Im telling you from experience. Dear Reader, if you ever have anything you need to talk about, talk about it.

Now about that book thing: I've recently been directed to a book called "Ishmael", written by Daniel Quinn. I dont know what its about yet, but since im reading it, i will tell you more about it once im done. Hold me to it!
