beginners mind,

Has your husband filed for divorce?That tends to amp things up a bit.Tommorrow is my wifes birthday and Wednesday is our 20th anniverary.We are going to dinner with the kids for her birthday. I will be around town on our anniversay. Way to painful,I don' want to interact with my wife on that day.

I sent flowers to my wife for her birthday today. I know someone is going to say, that is not the db way. Well, I am at the 11th hour in my marriage, divorce is only a few weeks ago. So I decided to try to make her birtday a little brighter.

Our 20th anniversary is tommorrow, I am not sure how I am going to feel about it. At first , my initial reaction was to just take off.But the weather is foggy and cold , so I just might stick around town.My wife was very thankful for the flowers, and the kids got her something also.

She did not mention d papers or our anniversary. I did not either.

I just read some of the comments from the veterans and the run in with sg, It seems to be turning into a pissing match.There are alot of hurting people that need the veterans and sg for any help.I have been on here almost a year, alot more argumenative than in the past.God wants peace, the evil one loves discord.

Craig sometimes you just have to do what's in your heart. I think that was a very nice gesture. Life is much nicer when love is in the air.

Glam,

It seemed to brighten her day, and that was my purpose.

You know when people are in a crisis, it only takes one person to reach out. It was her special day and you let her know that.

You never know what door you could open from here.

It's smart to be realistic. I do know that my h is making progress towards home just by me being the one to reach out and love him from a distance.

Craig:

If I recall, Charlyne sent Bob cards, etc. for his birthday.

I see nothing wrong with what you did. You are sincere and kind and you showed that by sending her flowers.

Mixed emotions today, but I survived. Wife came over for a total of 3 minutes then left to attend a birthday party for someone from her work.

She had called awhile ago to say she was not going to come over, and I said ok.She said she showed up because I sounded mad. I said I was not mad. But after thinking about it considering the day, no matter what she would have said I would have been upset. It would have been better if I had not seen or heard from her today.

Tommmorrow is another day, the Lord is patient with me, and I thank him for that.I am glad this day is almost over!!
