This book got me through an extremely rough patch in my life and gave me hope to live and love again.
"Although I know that I may have lost forever the woman I love, I must try to enjoy all the graces that God has given me today. Grace cannot be hoarded. There are no banks where it can be deposited to be used when I feel more at peace with myself. If I do not make full use of these blessings, I will lose them forever.
God knows that we are all artists of life. One day he gives us a hammer with which to make sculptures, another day he gives us brushes and paints with which to make a picture, or paper and a pencil to write with. But you cannot make a painting with a hammer, or a sculpture with a paintbrush. Therefore, however difficult it may be, I must accept today's small blessings, even if they seem like curses because I am suffering and it's a beautiful day, the sun is shining, and the children are singing in the street. This is the only way I will manage to leave my pain behind and rebuild my life." (p.292)...less

The description on the jacket made the book sound intriguing and I know that people had recommended it to me. Although it started out fine, it tanked quickly. Turned out to be the same old pre-feminist crap about needing a man and the mind games that go with seeking male acceptance. At that age, I would think a woman would be better put together. If I am that sad and desperate at 67 I hope someone has the courage to put me out of my misery.......less
