Tina, early on in our separation as I looked inward at myself I realized I wanted to be a much more positive person. So I decided I'd try to bring a smile to the face of everyone I met during the course of a day. I decided to look at the bright side of life always. It was very hard at time but finally it's ingrained. And you know a side benefit, my wife started to respond to it as well.
So keep it up and you'll find it makes every aspect of life better, even the bad parts!
If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive. - Mother Theresa
