While I don't think it's correct to follow a question mark with an ellipsis, I do think it's appropriate to follow a statement like that with an explanation. "Working" is such an ambiguous description. I want to make it perfectly clear that what it does not mean is that having set my mind on things above, I have somehow suddenly been beset by loads of cash. What I have been beset with, however, is in my opinion much better than cash...peace.
That's the best thing of all, but it's not all. Ironically, once I decided to stop thinking about these issues, they very suddenly became very clear to me; and the paralyzing analysis has given way to some very simple, very effective action. It's as if fear and worry (things that for years I never thought I was even capable of) had formed a cloud around me. In a way, as I have "counted all things lost," the fear of losing is gone, and I can see clearly to do what needs to be done...so it seems to be working.
