Hi Annie. Thanks for stopping by and adding to the discussion in a positive way. Do you mind if I use your word...you know...yeesh!
And to those who come around. Annie is someone who has come such a long way in a short period of time. Her attitude has changed significantly for the better since I noticed her posting. It is great to see and anyone can do it. And, it didn't happen overnight, but it happened with hope for a better future whatever form it was to take.

Well what do you know, something we agree on.
I love you annie

Thanks, IMP, but I don't know if I deserve any kudos.
I certainly haven't done anything exceptional, and I have backslides and down days and fits and snots and whines just like everyone else.
I am just not a person that can remain mired in anger or bitterness for any extended period of time.
I am also self-centered enough that, at the end of the day, whatever my ex is going through, and it's clear to me that he's going through something, it sort of loses interest for me, and I want to get back to thinking about me!
Seriously, I believe that I find myself in this place for a reason, and I have faith that it will all be revealed to me in time.
In the meantime, I constantly pray for peace and healing and clarity.
I pray that my heart will not harden but will remain open to compassion and understanding and forgiveness and love.
I pray that the Braves will overcome all these nagging injuries and this season will not go to sh*t.
OK, I have always loved Annie for many reasons....most of all, her direct no-nonsense approach that we rely upon friends for, and how she balances that with compassion and letting go of anger/bitterness.
Annie, I have also always loved that you constantly remind us that we are here for a reason.
It is up to us to learn....a choice, again. If not, then I have found that life and God manages to present that lesson again, and again...each time a little more amplified than the previous.
So, I'm in this state now to undo wrongs, to be the best I can be...and it's self-centered, too! Sincerely, I don't want to be taught the same painful lessons again and again. If I am blessed to see it now, I would like to correct it. Prevention is the best medicine, right? Not that we can avoid all sorrow and pain in life, but sometimes we can manage to make better choices.
I can't help or harp on the choices that my H made, or the choices that others make. I can feel sadness, sorrow and regret.
I am beginning to see, even more reasons why I am here. Clarity on a new level.
I am thankful that I have this revealed, and that I have been blessed with the strength to see and make changes. Choices. I thank God for being by my side to help me, each and every day.
I also thank Annie for reminding me that I am here for a reason!
