“Понимаешь, Джуд, в жизни иногда с хорошими людьми случается что-то хорошее. Не беспокойся, это бывает нечасто. Но когда это происходит, хороший человек может просто сказать «спасибо», и все, потому что ведь тот, кто сделал ему доброе дело, сам получил от этого удовольствие и, может быть, совсем не хочет знать сто причин, почему человек, которому он сделал что-то хорошее, совершенно того не заслуживает и не стоит.”

They are commentary on what has happened, is happening, will happen, and (most likely) will never happen.”

“If you find yourself in a funk or feeling unmotivated with life, make a small goal. Start with a small area of chaos in your life. Make a short list of two or three things and check them off. This may help you feel like you are progressing. Wash the dishes, clean the closet, sweep the porch, organize your food pantry, or clean out your car. You don’t need to go out and run a marathon. Instead, set a smaller goal. Walk 5,000 or 10,000 steps. In order to do that, you must start with one.”

“Seeing the cause and effect of how you’ve raised your older children is helpful in considering how to raise the next. There are things that I have learned, through stumbling in the darkness of youth and inexperience, that have (hopefully) helped me prepare for this next chapter. There are errors that were made and versions of myself that this child will not have to live through. There are things worth keeping and resurrecting.”
