Lately, I'm thinking one song title per thread is not going to be sufficient -- with all that's going on, maybe the title to an entire album might be in order.
Something like Keith Urban's "Love, Pain and the Whole Crazy Thing" seems appropriate right now.
Hi B! Welcome! I hope that, as you continue reading on the boards, you come to realize that looking after yourself really IS the focus of DBing. That's certainly what I and many other "success story" folks believe.
Thanks Rob - Things always seem more positive and clear if you can always keep focus on looking after yourself. Easier said than done at times. Thanks for the welcome. B
As things change, I keep hoping I lock up. Actually, if things do change significantly, I will just start a new one even though the last one didn't lock. No rules against doing that....
Oh, no, does that mean no Barry Manilow either????
It sounds like you are at 'peace' with your decision. Many of us don't know how our sitches are going to turn out but no matter what, all of us can say that in the end, if it doesn't turn out, you gave it your best shot. You'll never wonder about that.
May you be as focused in the next few months as you have been in the past few months.
Wait a minute.... Barry is a definite possibility. Just don't expect Copa Cabana.
I don't know if I am really "at peace." Just resigned, I guess. And I agree, that I do draw strength knowing that, in spite of my back-slides (there have been more than a few that never made it here), I gave it my best shot. I did the best that I could. Every back-slide had a legitimate explanation or justification.
I didn't post here yet but I have read all the threads I could and I find yours very helpful.
Your resolutions keeps me thinking that it is possible to survive the mess if it does not work out.
Since you like songs I thought it wouldn't hurt to leave you with some poetry by one very famous SA poet, very fond of Copacabana. May be its girly. But I do have a point.
"For all my love I will be thoughtful. Anticipating, so careful, always and so complete, That even if I face enchantment Let my thoughts be more overpowering I want to live it each moment and in its honor I will spread my chant and laugh my laughter and cry my tears To its sorrow or happiness. And so when later I am searched By death the anguish of the living Or loneliness the end of a love I will be able to say about what I did That it is not immortal as it is a flame But let it be infinite while it lasts."
At least we are blessed in this life to have known love. And I am sure we will have lots of Copacabana's in our lives.
Hey lwb... not much. Very quiet at home last night, should be a bit more chaotic tonight. We will join the neighbors and congregate in the cul-de-sac in front of our house to pass out treats for all the kids, plus the occasional "12 ounce treat" for daddies (and mommies).
Good morning Mark. I hope its a good chaotic tonight. Does your W get nervous around functions, or seem like she wants to be somewhere else? I get that vibe from H lately. Your neighborhood sounds so fun, save a 12 ounce treat for me.
