Hi all, Came across this when I was cleaning out my closet. I had this up in my office when I was in grad. school. Something to think about: Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing, live along some distant day into the answers. Live strong, Karilynn

GREAT share!!!!  i was the **ultimate*  questioner...i wanted God to tell me  **why this -- why that*  all the time!!!!!   sometimes i know i just have to be content that  **it will all come out in the wash in the end*    thank  your for  reminding me of this......rosie

Patience. Boy that is a tough one for me. Funny thing is, I am the most patient person in other aspects in my life...but when it comes to issues w/my A, it is a different story. Although, living the way I have for so many years and now having him decide to change after I had one foot out the door, I find myself feeling at times that I am searching the bottom of my bag to pick up any morsel of patience left.

Sq, My mother use to tell me that I have the patience of a boiling teakettle when it comes to the things that were most important to me! I still struggle with it. I think we all feel that way with our As. For me it's because although I have no control over him. I want his sobriety so badly for him, and I want it NOW! But I know it'll come, just not as fast as I hope. So I keep plugging along. Live strong, Karilynn
