In Five Years

I survived the dreaded August 1…. Barely. This promises to be an angst-y review as I reflect on how I tormented myself about things I should be doing, pushed through the muck in my head and did what I wanted instead. I finished this quick beach read, not at the beach but in the comfort of my bed after attempting to beach on an unsettled day with Lisa and Jane. This is how it should be in the summer for me. Keep busy, enjoy simple pleasures, don’t be so hard on myself. What’s the point after all. It’s my life and it it should be what I want it to be. 

I learned something from In Five Years by Rebecca Serle. Something about letting life unfold and taking pleasure in unexpected moments. This quote expresses the theme of the story about a character whose world is shook up despite her focus on carefully planning all the major events of her life.

“But all of that is an hour from now. Now, on the other side of midnight, we do not yet know what is coming.

“So be it. So let it be.”
