About the self-help books, I used to sleep with 3 or 4 in the bed beside me (H's side, of course). On those many sleepless nights I would wake up and start to read from one or the other.

I amassed quite a collection and soon they were moved to the nightstand on that side of the bed. Just a month or so ago, I sorted through and got rid of those I no longer wanted, so now I'm down to just a few.

They were useful at the time and I'm so glad to be on this side of the experience.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
