PS, Matilda, and Jak, I've been reading Faith:Trusting Your Deepest Experience by Sharon Salzberg. She writes Buddhist self-help books.
She defines faith as "giving something or someone your heart." She also talks about bright faith as putting faith into action.
At this point I would say I have faith in the process of creative writing, and faith in the process of learning dance skills, that these skills will improve the quality of my life. I have faith in the Piecing Community and in the people who take time to read my posts and offer their compassion and advice. I have faith in the wisdom of the Buddhist religion, and in the practice of mindfullness exercises to cultivate a happy mind. I consider bright faith and GAL to be similar.
I have a feeling my W has faith in me. She keeps talking about me as being the "marrying type"--someone who sticks with a M no matter the difficulties. Even with our intimacy problems and domestic conflicts, I think she still has her heart in me.
My W and I agree that a four day work week is probably her limit at this time.
