Journal:

I did not realize the thread was locked until I wanted to post this morning.

XW stopped by last evening after my walk to leave me two pieces of mail. We talked just a little but nothing was said about the weekend. The dog so wanted to go home with her (traitor) but she said she could not ride in her car.

This morning she called and we talked for about 1/2 hour. Talked about D19's schooling, her loosing interest (it seems) in her goal of being a vet. She is very into a business with her BF. She mentioned she took furniture down to her this past weekend, got it really cheap cause it is damaged, and they damaged the wall getting it in her townhome. She mentioned that I could repair it when I come down to visit. She asked when I was going down there. I then told her that D19 has not ever said anything to me even about getting a townhome, that her BF told me this weekend that he and his sister have one two doors down also.

So she told me about it, how she has scraped to get a few things for her, how the frig and dishwasher need leveling.

Then she went on to talk of her work, how she has no time, kids will be coming up to work with me this weekend and she might not have time to spend with them. She asked me if her BF came up to be with me only because she was going down to deliver furniture. I did not think so but probably he does not want to be around the other person. He asked if he could pray with me and earnestly prayed for reconciliation/restoration of our marriage. It was very touching to hear this young man praying for me and my ex.

I am saddened by how my friend Faith was treated over the past week and especially the weekend and for the extra grief that has been placed on my friend Blyndfaith. I lift you both in prayer daily and await the time the tears I shed are for joy and praise to our Heavenly Father for reconciling their relationships.

I too appreciate the prayers of the faithful on this board and for the caring that is shown.



Chapter 1

I think the not noticing the thread being locked is a good thing!!

Nice to hear about your D's BF praying for your M- that your D picked him says alot too!!

You sound less affected by your Ex's talks with you?! What's up on the GAL front for you lately?

Big Hugs

Hi Bruce,

Welcome to your new thread! I agree with Cathy's comments. You are sounding better. Is there good fishing down in TN?

Hugs, LR

LR,

I don't spend too much time following all the threads and am sorry to just today take note that you find yourself in the same boat as myself. I can only say, I am sorry, you tried and did you best and that I will still pray for you.

There is good fishing here in TN. There is a couple large lakes, Watauga Lake is closest, and of course many streams for trout. I am not a fisherman though.

I saw a patient again today, she prayed with me once and thought I had good news for her. She was disappointed yet as she told me before, she and her husband were divorced about 3 years before they remarried...and the forgiveness took place. She says it is wonderful and better than before.

Hugs to you,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the kind words. I missed your "moment" as well and I'm sorry. Thanks for the prayers and likewise to you.

Hmmm. I like the trout stream idea. What other things are you interested in besides dancing?

That's nice to hear about your patient. It gives everyone a little hope that sometimes there can be a R, and a good one at that, after the D.

Hugs, LR

Just a note,

XW just called to get D19's SSN, and she thanked me for the Mother's Day card. I send the most plain, non-connecting card I could find. Also last night her mom called and left a message thanking me for her card, and wanting me and her to take FIL out for a ride and lunch sometime when it is nice. Another stone in the pile. Thank you to the one who suggested the plain card.

That is all. I try to not wonder what is going on when her car is at her office all night. She is not mine anymore so whatever. (That sounds convincing....now to convince myself)

LR,

Other than dancing which I have never done yet, I love to fly but have not for several years, walking, biking the Creeper Trail, plays at the Barter Theatre, skiing, boating, construction (working with my hands), 4 wheeling, motorcycles. Lots of things but now just work, walking and everyday chores.

What are you up to now?

Hi Bruce,

I'm rattling cages trying to get some help for JSD.
He just started a new thread here in this forum.

Can you check him out and see if you can toss any ideas his way.
He's linked his previous threads.

Thanks,
AmyC

D19 and BF are here. I awaited their call to go to church but it did not come so I went alone. They showed up later but what was interesting they were in Ex's TT. I was not allowed to drive it but....WHATEVER!!!! They are leaving to go see FIL, of course I have been told they did not need me today so I stay away.

Rose and I will go for a long walk and she can do some swimming.

An absolutely gorgeous day, we walked about 5.5 miles, Rose retrieved out of the river, we sat in the park and enjoyed watching people...it is Trail Days in Damascus, VA so there is lots of people and activities. Got a couple hot dogs for Rose, a plate meal for myself. Lots of folks fishing along the Beaver creek, many bicycles on the Creeper Trail, saw some signs of horses

Now will wait for D19 and BF to come back as we are having a meeting tonight. Was wishing I had my partner with me but that seems about impossible now.

Tomorrow will be a full day with my mother, I was excluded from the MIL celebration today.
