Thanks, Life. When I back away and look at the big picture (the forest), I am too. Sometimes in the day to day (the trees), it's hard to be. Guess that's a lesson to learn...

I used to (still do) send my wife a silly email, a picture (demotivators are funny), or ask if there was anything I could do, or she could think of that would brighten her day.
Without the expectations...
I didn't want my wife being down...still don't.

So, you know those free e-cards you can send? Back in the day, W and I used to send those to each other all the time. There were some with a couple of cartoon characters that W always liked.
Just sent one to W. It was a birthday card, and it's not anywhere near her birthday. Note on the card "I know it's not your birthday, and I know how you love these little guys. Thought you could use a laugh and a smile. ily"
Point taken folks. Thanks for the advice.

I'm taking a break from here, but I check in now and then. My advice - got through and read some of your old threads to see what you will need from her. Remember this isn't her way only.
Also, I'm sure this will come up in MC.
For now, really try to enjoy your FREEDOM! LOL
