That's great news cliffy - it's nice when you realize you HAVEN'T been on here for awhile (and it's because you stopped thinking about it - rather than because you're having a rough time and don't feel like posting).
Hey my H is doing that now too, the complete run down - often followed up with obvious "evidence" (i.e. calling a friend to say hi and they had fun, loudly and in front of me). It's nice but really weird.
You sound like you are doing really well!! I'm glad to see it.

For those of you that keep stopping by, thank you! I appreciate your support! I will make an attempt to get more active during the holidays, as I will be off work for a couple of weeks.
Cliffy, breaks from here can be extremely healthy and give you a great perspective on your ability to handle yourself without the crutch that you develop on these boards.
You do sound good, like you are "getting it". I am glad to see it buddy... Take care of yourself my friend.

Hello all, been some time again. I trust you all had the best holiday season possible and are looking forward to a better 2008. The train keeps rolling on this end. We had a nice christmas and made it to all the parties, however w decided last minute not to attendy my families. They had all bought her gifts and she seemed touched. We spent new years together at home watching Harry Potter movies. Things are realatively the same with the exception of spending a bit more time together. I am still at home and the stress level is minimal, but who knows what lay ahead. I made the comment at midnight about 2008 being a good year, w said she hopes so. I didn't ask for clarification, but took it as a positive. Expectations are low as far as looking into anything. I am looking forward to this year to become a better teacher, father, coach, horseman and person. Hopefully husband will be in there as well.

What ever you choose, my friend. You know the drill... consider all the possible paths in your mind, mentally follow them through, as many times as you need. Then, ask yourself and yourself alone, "Which one is the Path with Heart". This is the path you must follow.
Really, this has been the key to my happiness over the past months. I think that somewhere deep down, we all know this. Somehow, as time goes by and we make more and more compromises in life, we let it slip away.

Good to hear from you, SD

Just trotting thru to say hi and hope things are still untense with a few positives thrown in.
Did you have a chance to research any theraputic riding programs that might take a horse for you?
I have 2 foals coming this spring, 4 coming 2 year olds, and a coming 3 year old that I ran out time to get on him before my 'vacation'. Let me know if you want to try improving your horsemanship on any youngsters! You know me...always trying to help!
