“Don’t think of an elephant!”

As someone with #adhd, one of the hardest things for me to do is to STOP thinking about something, and focus on something else—or nothing at all, when it’s time to rest.

Being able to put an idea on the mental shelf and trust that there will be another occasion to pick it up later is ridiculously hard. It’s like stopping a freight train—it takes miles due to the inertia.

Again, I finished "Drystone: A Life Rebuilt" by Kristie De Garis @kristiedegaris. In this inspiring memoir, she rebuilds her life like she rebuilds a wall as a dry-stone waller: each stone carefully placed. Heartbreaking yet courageous, her sincerity makes the book both painful and hopeful.

None of us are too broken to begin again. Rebuilding is possible, even late in life. Sometimes the most radical act is simply telling the truth about who we are.
