There it is, the top ten. You all know where I am. Acceptance, and working on tomorrow. Always thankful for your support. I wonder where I will be after the next ten threads? There are so many that have faced a turning point these last few days. I hope that even when things seem to be their darkest, that all of us can find the happy and loving future we deserve.
Just before the flood comes Just before the night falls Just before the blood runs Into the valley Just before my eyes go Just before we can't go no further Love throws a line to you and me
Awesome song. Who else? Patty Griffin.

Glad I could make your day. Bask in the glory while it lasts (but I won't mention there didn't seem to be a rush to post). Everyone must be tired. Busy day at work today. Then meeting the realtor this evening to finalize listing the house. I'll catch up later.

I read your post last night.. but wanted to think about what struck me..
"I wonder where I will be after the next ten threads?"
Thoughts that came to me:
It would take a whole lot longer to fill the next five threads than it did the first ten.
Far, far away with winsome smile on your face never having gone past four more threads.
The more drama, the more posts, the more completed threads. I wish you very few more.
I look to my future. All I see is growth, work (in a good way) and moving forward. All this comes with my new improved healthy perspective. I figure I'm not going to be out in the dating pool until a year after the divorce is finalized. This is a lot of change for me and my kids to process. I want to be whole and confident before I know anyone else in that way.
Oh yes.. and if the situation with spouse changes? Heck.. It has to be one of growth, individual and mutual, and that won't happen overnight either.
Why worry about finding someone in the future when you still haven't found yourself in the present?
I'm not thinking about dating, but I do wonder about future R's. I'm not sure when I'll get back "out there", but I'm not putting any arbitrary timeline on it. Lots of changes in the next several months, hard to imagine many more significant ones that I would take on voluntarily.
I haven't lost myself in the present. I am pretty confident about who I am and where I want to be. The fun is in the details of how I get there.

So the house is officially up for sale. Turning another page. Hopefully it won't stay on the market too long. Shooting for a mid to late September move. Things are actually progressing pretty smoothly so far. I'm pretty sad/glad about it.
