Sheesh. Maybe she ought to be paying you?

Well psychology has certainly come a long way since Freud. Can’t quite imagine old Sigmund supplying popcorn and wearing a t-shirt with the words “straight jacket” on it. But then if anyone needed a straight jacket…..

To everything – turn turn turn
There is a season turn turn turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven.

Karma baby, Karma.

Aww, Jenny, that’s sad. But maybe the universe has something else in store for you. Maybe you and Bob are going to collaborate on a romantic comedy about the DLD tour. It could be fun.

TT said … sometimes you’ve reached your limit on personal growth …

Oh, Amen! Sometimes you just want to scream that its someone else’s turn to be the grown up.

“reached your limit on personal growth” I’m going to remember that one.

I think I like your therapist. She sounds like the one I went to several years ago who said something along the lines of, “Why would you want to attempt to retrieve repressed memories if your life is fine right now and those memories might make you miserable?”
Well, duh.
I thanked her and went home, much relieved.

I have to say, the popcorn cracks me up.

Next time on “As the Stomach Churns,” …

Jen-T: I’m with you. The only reason some things happen is because of the immutable laws of physics. Sure, one can become a better person in response, but sometimes you’ve reached your limit on personal growth and more sucky things happen anyway.

I like Lynn’s idea, Jenny – write it the way it should have happened. Just be sure you don’t label it as a memoir if you start totally making things up…

So basically you want us to shut up with all the “you can recover stuff” advice, right? Got it.

Tell her next time you want root beer and twizzlers.

She sounds like my therapist. To our first session she wore a t-shirt that said “Sometimes, when I can’t sleep, I count the buckles on my straight jacket.”

She doesn’t have popcorn though.

Bless your heart. I think your therapist owes you a whole bag of junior mints!

If you can’t find those lost/hidden/deleted messages, use what Bob saved and add your timeless insights.

Oh Jenny. I can’t even begin to understand. But maybe it’s all for the best. There is that old saying I love to hate, “everything happens for a reason”. To which I usually reply, well, I don’t think I can say that here.

Keep pushing forward. All is good. Life is good. 2007 will rock. You Rock!
