Hi, Kaw. Thanks for stopping by my thread. You're always a sane and supportive voice!
I admire your patience and kindness.
I also enthusiastically agree that this forum has kept the light on for me. I would still be in the dark about what hit me if I hadn't picked up Michele's book a year ago.
It's also reassuring to see others have ups and downs, and to share the struggle to continue DB-ing when you're hurting.
My confidence faltered today on a simple dog walk -- in the park sat a grrrllll who looked like the OW, laughing on a blanket on the grass. I wanted to strangle her. Suddenly I was in pain.
Yet when I got home my H wrapped me up in a big hug and teased with me. He left his email open to view, humming, promising he'd finish the dishes later.
He doesn't have a clue about my broken heart.
Well, you know, it's best not to call it a broken heart now. It's a RE-BUILT heart, and it's gonna go for millions more miles. It's better not to pick at the glue, handle the senstive area, open the wound.
Better to LOOK AT THE GOOD.
KAW, you told someone recently not to talk/think in "all or nothing" terms -- and I agree. Also, let's not catastrophize.
Those panicky fears bubble up, but I'm trying not to give them credibility or focus. Still, ya gotta weather them somehow.
And that's where you guys save my life.
Thanks, and happy sunny cheerful musical day to KAW.
