Sorry Hairdog, you're not going to run off your biggest fan that easy. I'll still sit back and enjoy the show and chip in when I can
Exile, I'd love to sit down and swap some hockey stories with ya over a few cold ones, but a certain Doctor RJ on here, has me on a very strict "no alcohol" regimen....maybe after this cancer gets it's azz whooped
Eastern Mass huh? Let me guess, should be a tough one....hmmmm...A Bobby Orr, Ray Bourque and Cam Neely fan???
IC, far be it from me to doubt the truth of what you're saying. But I think it's very wise counsel to not make important decisions about abandoing parts of your life when you're under stress. No different from the wisdom about staying out of a rebound relationship after a breakup or death. Everything you've been through of late has got to be messing with your head, whether you think so or not. Take it into account, eh?
Kett, I understand what you are saying. Stress has a way of sometimes blinding us from making rational decisions such as rebound relationships. But sometimes, stress can open our eyes to what is really important in our lives. Maybe someday my feelings will change but for now, I'm pretty content with letting the ghost of IC's past settle into what it is...the past.
Miss IC, you know that IC is capable of expressing himself....
From what we know of IC, this state of mind will morph into something else. He's not crazy or mentally unbalanced....
Lill, you and RJ seem to give me more credit than I deserve...I'm stubling through this the best that I can. I don't know if what I am doing and how I'm doing it is right or wrong or if there even is a right or wrong way.
At times I feel like I'm making some progress in my emotional well being but it seems that in the past, my emotional state was pretty much filled with many peaks and the valleys were few and far between...and weren't very deep. Now, it seems the peaks are few and far between and are not reaching quite as high. I'm getting lost in the depths of the valleys and it's a struggle to keep focused on where and what I want to achieve. It's like I can't get any balance in my life...first my relationship with Miss IC was faltering, but other areas of my life seemed good. Now, the relationship is at a high and the other areas are in peril...go figure.
And who knows what effect that gift will have on the kid? It could be a turning point in his life.
He's a good kid Lill. I've talked with his parents while watching him play...he's got all the tools and talent to take him far...depends on the desire. I kind of took the kid under my wing while out on the ice...I don't know, maybe I'm the wrong one to be trying to influence his desire for the game.
