Thanks for swinging by. I needed a little boost. Talk to you later.

I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much.

Thanks everyone for stopping by! Yes, I'm pleased...what can I say? Oddly enough, yesterday I got "scared." Can't really explain exactly. But, now that I'm on the road to recovery I kind of feel like now I have no choice but to continue. Weird, huh? It's not that I'm disappointed or anything...just scared...

Last night I noticed something interesting. So, as everyone knows, my wife needs to get out and blow off some steam, as she occasionally gets this trapped feeling. Yesterday I get this e-mail that she was going to leave as soon as I got home. No problem, as I told her to let me know when she needs space. So, I get home last night and she's kind of preparing to leave, but we end up chit chatting about this and that. Well, she ends up hanging around for a couple of hours, eats dinner with us, then goes. I see this as very positive because it really seems like she's enjoying my company. It's a shift from "tolerating" me to enjoying being around me.

Moving right along...

jethro

Keep up the good work!

I think feeling scared is a normal response.

For many people on the board, it seems like they get scared/anxious once the relationship is out of crisis mode and into Piecing mode.

I think you are doing great!

Hugs.

Quoting jethro:
Then, she stares at me for a moment, our eyes locked, and says, "I love you."


Happy, happy tears for you, Jethro!

Jethro...sooo happy for you...you have waited along time for some signs of hope...PATIENCE....does pay off....don't let old habits creep back in...it can be so easy to let our new changes backslide, but you are proof that they are worth it all.
