IMP:
Thanks for the pull back to reality. I'll let it go. I really have gotten better at detaching, but this pulled me back the other way. I really like the way you put it--fixing myself is where my success in life lies. If WAW and I rebuild our marriage, that will be a bonus to what I do for myself. It may be in part because of what I do for myself, or not, but either way I've got to keep my eye on myself. I appreciate your knock on the head and effort to jerk me back on the correct path.

I'm off tomorrow for a three day retreat on love and intimacy; can't wait! As you say, this is for myself. It's something I signed up for a several weeks ago; never would have imagined doing something like this three months ago, but I can really say that right now not much in life is as exciting as working on myself. My job pales in comparison, and I'm eager to keep learning about myself and trying to be a better person with whomever crosses my path each day. I wasn't a jerk before, but was someone who wasn't in tune with himself or with others on a deeper level. Now, I'm going inward and trying to manifest the changes as I can each day, in however small a way.

Just finished the draft. I got both Henry and Rudi Johnson! I like that backfield.

Thanks for your regular posts to me and others, IMP. It's up and down, and today was a down day, but overall it's mostly up!
