QUESTION: A few months
ago you answered the ques-
tion of someone who said he
was ‘“‘at the end of his
tether.”’ I remember, at the
time, thinking kind of off-
handedly that you have a
good answer. But I was not in
a similar situation and was by

mo means canght up in the
question nor in your answer.
Now — to state it with
restraint — I, also, am ‘‘at
the end of my tether.’’ So
many things have quickly
changed for me. A_ crisis
thing almost wiped out my
savings. Then my very very

secure job disappeared in an
unbelievable weekend. Dear
and loving relatives need help
which I see no way to give. It
is a fact that I have just now
stopped right in the middle of
giving you the long list of
burdensome and frightening
situations that are piling up
for me, because in this setting
there is no great need for
details. The point is, ‘‘] AM
AT THE END OF MY
TETHER.” What more can I
say, except to ask, what sort
of advice can you possibly
have for me?

STEWART: I suppose you
are right that details concern-

ing your situation are not the
need, at least for purposes of
this letter and response. The
reason why you are at the end
of your tether does not seem

as relevent as the fact that
you are. My response cannot,
of course, propose specific
action for you. Perhaps,
however, I may be able to
contribute somewhat to the
atmosphere, the environ-
ment, within which you will
find ways to shed your tether,
or at least lengthen it.

Two things come to mind:
First, you, without doubt,
have more resources than you
think. Keep reminding
yourself that you are NOT, at
the end of your tether, even
though you feel like it. Se-
cond, you have available to
you the old tried and true
reminder to live one day at a
time. You can make it
through today. Right?

gives God a lot of credit for
one part of a system we live
in. Perhaps you’ll want to
give credit someplace else.
No matter - here it ts:

God broke the years to hours
and days,

That hour by hour and day
by day

Just going on a littie way
We might be able all along
To keep our spirit poised and
strong.

Should all the weight of life
Be laid across our shoulders,
and the future, rife

With woe and struggic, meet
us face to face

In one small place

We could not go;

Our hearts would faint. And

God lays a little on us every
day.

SAGITTARIUS
November 23
to December 21

Bearing burdens hour by hour

Never on the year’s long way
Will burdens bear so deep
Or pathways rise so steep
But we can struggle on, if by
God’s power

We learn to bear our burden
hour by hour.

One of the best bits of
literature distributed by A.A.
(Alcoholics Anonymous) is
“One Day at a Time’’. It
makes sense to me that if
*““One Day at a Time’’ idea
helps in handling alcoholism,
it stands a pretty good chance
of helping in the handling of
fear, bewilderment, depres-
sion, and the heaviness of
feeling that one is at the end
of his tether.

And, if ‘‘One Day at a
Time’”’ is helpful, you may
find the need to try out one
HOUR at a time once in a
while.

Trust your intuition, follow
its lead when dealing with
others.
