| Doing Nothing
Ive done alot of thinking this weekend and reading and praying. For a long time I answered the voice in my head saying "What are you going to do about this problem?" First of all, the problem was never mine to deal with. Secondly, the voice asking that question was not my HP. I am not supposed to do anything about decisions that are not mine. Problems I can not solve, and things I can not change, are not my problems, but my HPs problem ( That is DesertEyes wisdom). I have no business trying to solve these problems, and it is futile for me to even think about "what am I going to do?" Im not doing nothing. Im learning, waiting, letting Go, and letting God. The addicted person is not my fixer upper. Quite frankly, doing what appears to be nothing, is harder than taking ownership of a problem that is not mine!

So true! At least in the moment. But I think in the long run we are better off (and maybe even grew a little bit in the process).
