It's amazing, the number of people that will be there for you if you actually let them be! They may not even know about your sitch but to treated like a respected human being is pretty special I had a a really good weekend. I saw my woman friend this weekend as we took our kids to a movie and dinner. STBX invited me and the kids over for a BBQ and afterwards we went to see fireworks. It was all quite pleasant! Sometimes I toy with the idea that I was way too easy with this woman. I was so caught up in trying to save what was left of the family and building a co-operative post M relationship that I made the separation too easy for her. On the other hand, forgiveness and moving on is darn important too! When I think this way, I remember Christ's example. When he rose from the dead he didn't come back and say to the disciples "alright guys, it's time to kick some butt, first we'll do those Jewish leaders that had me busted, next that creep Pilate and we'll finish off with those buggers that were sticking spears in my side" he didn't give any of them a second thought! He carried on with what was important to him and his kingdom. There was no revenge, hurt feelings etc he just carried on building what was good. I hope I can do just a little of that in my life! Today I had an intersting surprise. My co-worker and I were talking in the parking lot (I know, bad place for guys to be!) and in wheels a car and the driver honks and waves. I asked my co-worker "who the heck is that?" and he replied "it's Plant Lady". She then came over and spent the break chatting with us, both of us. It was a nice surprise. Well, tonight it's off to bible study. I've got a pretty full life here, come to think of it! Later dbers
