A quandary of mine....and this basically gives me fits of anxiety every time I think about it.
I have been sort of dark for some time, basically only surfaced a few time to ask about the kids now and then and to finalize a bit of a moving on letter.
Now I find that by totally doing letting things go...I am heavy of heart, wondering if I will ever get a chance to make things right
Why can’t I seem to trust that my ex will ever look my way again….

well...good morning.
As I started my day today....I began with my morning reading of a short little devotional, followed by my yoga and meditation, and then reflected on what happened to make yesterday such a hard day for me to stay focused on the end goals.
My new 180 is to start out with reading my devotional, and yet for some reason didn't do that yesterday morning (thinking it was due to not getting a good nights rest the night before, then waking up late and feeling rushed).
I just thought that I would share this in case it might lend a little help to any in need.;
~Love is Patient...
John Milton, in his sonnet on blindness, once wrote: "They also serve who only stand and wait."
The service of love can often take a form of waiting.

God waits...the world he made is filled with waiting. Waiting is one of the primary laws of nature. Winter waits for Spring. Buds wait for warmth. The Earth waits for rain.
Nothing in life cones to instant maturity.

And again I was reminded to practice patience.....

Have a great day all.

These are not specific to divorced couples, but here you go:

Start here:

Another Divorce Busted!

And also check out this sticky in MLC:

MLC Successes/Cinders list of Restored Marriages

And these bootcamp threads:

Successful Women

Successful Men

Unfortunately not all the links within the threads are active because some of the threads are quite old, but there's enough active links in there to keep you reading for quite a while. There are some newer success stories in the piecing forum that aren't included in the above, so look there too.
