Guest Post from Anne Lamott, Help, Thanks, Wow, "There's freedom in hitting bottom in seeing that you won't be able to save or rescue your daughter, her spouse, his parents, or your career; relief in admitting you've reached the place of the great unknowing.  This is where restoration can begin, because when you're still in the state of trying to fix the unfixable, everything bad is engaged; the chatter of your mind, the tension of your physiology, all the trunks and wheels-ons you carry from the past.  It's exhausting, crazy making."
