Dear Reader,

I gave up five minutes ago.

I'm starting to feel much better now, content and at peace with myself. The situation hasn't changed, but I have. I'm not fighting it anymore. I'm not trying to be in control. I've given up.

Giving up is always a last resort for me. Can't really tell you why I always wait so long. The deep breath comes, inhale, slowly exhale--my shoulders relax and the pressure's off.

Did what I could--it was my best. But still it wasn't meant to be.

Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.

P. S. You could WIN...send me one of your favorite recipes (along with your photo, if you have one). Email or send it to: Suzanne Beecher, 1002 S. Orange Ave., Sarasota, FL 34236. I'm collecting readers' recipes and I'll share them in a later column.

When you send your recipe and photo, you'll automatically be entered in a drawing for one of two cookbooks: "Sandwich" by Yisrael Aharoni, and "Burgers" by Rebecca Bent. In the meantime, enjoy a recipe for one of my favorite sandwiches.
