flip, I think that quote is bang on! MTH I just started reading a book called Embracing Uncertainty by Susan Jeffers. It's not specifically geared towards M per say but it's about, well, just what the title says! I think we can all related to uncertainty at the moment. She also wrote "Feel the Fear and do it Anyway". I'm trying to move into reading material that is directed to improving me versus my sitch. Flip's quote just reinforces the realization that I can't control the way my wife comes to terms with her duties and responsibilities in life, I can only work on how I relate to these things in my life, so I will keep on developing mysdelf into a better,more positive, encouraging person. I will take life for what it is at the moment. Hey, read something just for fun too! Don't forget the pleasure of reading just for the pleasure it brings.
