Journaling...

Yesterday was H's birthday. I really went out of my way for him yesterday, and I think he appreciated it.

Because it was his birtyday, I wondered all day if OW TMd him to wish him happy birthday, as has happened in the past. BUT, I did not snoop. I chose not to. Instead, I chose to make it a good birthday for him. We had a nice day with the kids. Then a nice NYE night with the kids. I DID NOT look at his cell phone.

On another topic, H missed his C session last week because we went away. Anyway, I mentioned to him today that I'd like to go see his C sometime over the next week or so. He said that was fine. His C likes to involve the spouse from time to time to get the family perspective of the progress of her clients. So, that's what I'm going to do.

Anyway, I continue to work on 180s. I continue to try to think things through before saying them (although, I'm not always successful at this). I continue to work on strengthening my faith. And I continue to focus on me and what will make me a happy person.

Tomorrow, I start my permanent stint at my job. I was laid off from my full time job over a year ago. Then last April, my job called and asked me to come back on a consulting basis 3 days a week. They just make it a permanent arrangement, effective tomorrow. So, I will continue to focus on sustaining my 3-day schedule and build my consulting business on the side. I also continue to focus on enjoying my time with my kids. They are 3 and almost 5 and I know I need to savor this time with them. And oh yeah... I need to lose a good 5 to 10 lbs. A year ago, i was so skinny I looked sick. Now, I'm going in the opposite direction FAST.

Anyway... just jotting down my random thoughts. You all continue to inspire me to be a better person. So, than you and please keep the support coming!

Happy New Year!
