My 20 Questions

Value the questions themselves...

I believe and I know that there is value is asking the questions themselves, even in answers are not forthcoming.  I also know that I have to find balance between dwelling in the demoralizing, anxiety ridden questions of my work and celebrating the inspiring, curious, blessed questions I have as well.
