I read the following words in a Saturday Times article by Caitlin Moran writing about her latest book, 'How to Build a Girl', which is aimed at helping teenage girls cope with teenage girls' angst.

Her words also speak to me:

"You will never, in your life, ever have to deal with anything more than the next minute.....The minutes always come one at a time, inside hours that come one at a time, inside days that come one at a time - all orderly strung, like pearls on a necklace, suspended in a graceful line. You will never, ever, have to deal with more than the next 60 seconds. Do the calm, right thing that needs to be done in that minute. The work, or the breathing, or the smile. You can do that, for just one minute. And if you can do a minute, you can do the next."
