Morning WL!

The most important thing you wrote was this "I was out having a good time when he called". Yep - that's GALing. Way to go!

Now, you have to completely ignore the fact that he called. It could have been ANYTHING - a friendly hello, a booty call or a misdial. As you say - if it is important - he will call back. Don't read anything into it. What you might do, though, is remind yourself WHY you broke up. That way, you don't slip and fall right back into it if he did want to patch things up.

Moving forward on your own is so much more courageous than taking the easy way out like so many people do. Like hooking up with Mr Wrong because it feels "safe". I like how you are handling things.

Have a great day!

Barb

Thanks, Barb! Great advice!

All of this growth is such hard work. I wonder if in my future I have a great partner and my career is going great, I'll look back on this and smile.

"Amazing day?"

Good for you!!! If you don't journal, you might consider doing so. you can remind yourself of these "amazing days," lessons learned etc. For me I journal to do remind myself of lthese thing and to record the blessings, answered prayer, heart ache etc. Down the road, I have seen how God has guided me through even the darkest of times. He has never failed me. Not that I get what I ask and pray for but I always get what I need in the way of support, a word, a call or email from a friend or even a stranger. By recording such thoughts I am strengthenend in my faith and belief that God is working out all things for His good and in that, I remain His child and a beneficiary of His loving care as well as correction when needed. That's why I journal and also why I post such thoughts on my thread and sometimes offer to others (with love, never condemnation or judgement).

Have another amazing day! \:D When the storm of resentment or bitterness rise, for they will, reflect back on these amazing days and you will see that the ratio of good and amazing days to bad ones rises favorably as time passes, something we see around here constantly for those who do put in effort to grown and move forward as you are doing \:\)

C2H,

Thanks for the support and encouragement. I have a big smile on my face.

I do keep a journal. It has been very useful, though some of the pages I have to rip out and shred, those would be the ones filled with anger, resentment and hate.

Today is another wonderful day. I am so happy and I think it's because I found my passion again. I have this writing project I'm working on...

Good for you! In my journals I have found even the pages that are filled with pain have been useful. To remember the depths of the pain makes me appreciate just how much my life has changed and how much I owe it to God.

Blessings to you today, off to church, lunch with my kids and then a graduation to attend.
