Hi, Jethro...hmmmm..a post at 3:22 am in my world (if that's the real time you posted - sometimes these time stamps seem off to mee) would mean a sleepless, anxiety filled night...hope it was something better than that...
It is Santa Clause Is Coming To Town! That's one of my favorite ones...That song, in particular.
Hey...I'm going to say this again, because really, it has been working for me & Lostlove...Your whole last post was worry worry, negative negative. Tell us 3 good things about your R with W. Tell us 3 good things you've noticed about her. Or some good things you've felt. And make sure you're telling her.
Everyone is right - if she DID fall in love with you way back when, your best bet is to act the way you did way back when. Think about how you treated her, what your "mental attitude" was (probably Positive!), how much you looked forward to seeing her, how much you implicitly trusted you to be looking forward to seeing you. ASK her about her feelings of being "just friends" if you need to, about what she felt when you first got together, what she WAS attracted to that allowed her to be more than "just friends" with you when you crossed that boundary. Tell her the things that attracted you to her, and the things that still attact you to her. Etc, etc, maybe blah blah blah. But, better than all this wondering, mind-reading, second-guessing, negativity!
You're the one who recommended the 8 ways to happiness book (which I haven't actually taken time to read yet...) - I know you understand these theories in that intelligent mind of yours! Put them to work for you, dude!
My 3 things for today:
1) Woke up and didn't feel that bad (sore throat is definitely getting better)
2) Got kids ready by myself and made it to Sunday school on time! (SBH exhausted from painting church on Friday & Saturday nights)
3) Got to take ANOTHER nap, which helps the sore throat situation even more!
Try it, Jethro. It'll be good for you. It'll build your character. You'll be a better person for it. I'll be very disappointed in you if you don't. Oh, don't worry about it. I'll just do it myself. Just go on and do what you need to do. I'll take care of it. I just want the best for you, you know. I try and try and you never seem to appreciate all I do for you. Hmmmmm...I don't have adolescents yet, so I don't have an endless supply of guilt-inducing phrases...but that's not bad for a rookie, huh?
