They make double chocolate milanos !!!!! Why didn't somebody tell me before this.
I'm sorry his voice took you down that path again. I know all about ripping scabs off of newly healing wounds. Try to apply some ointment, & a fresh bandage. All my C has to say is..."how do you feel about..." & my head swims. Maybe I'll go have a smore.
love & hugs
M 19 years, MC for 8 months, DB'd for 8 months 4 kids; 18, 15, 14, & 10 I was never meant to be a doormat. It took me years of therapy to become assertive enough to stop his abuse.
Let me think about it. A cozy place with 3 bedrooms, nice kitchen, roomy family room. Big enough but not too big. Of course the places I've liked so far are too expensive, especially when I think of a few years down the road. Spend less, travel more? That's a concept! We'll see. What about you?
Did you know I let me hair stylist do whatever she wants with my hair? Sign of trust or it's just easier? The results are pretty neat though.
You want to know cookies? Talk to me, after all I did work at Pepperidge Farm!
Tonight is a quiet evening of mourning, amazed that anything can change with enough time. I'm prepping for the future changes, imagining what it will be like, how my daughter will adapt to less. Then again.. home is home. No need to worry. I figure the kids model after me.. as far as the divorce, changes in living. I really think it will become easier.
I just have to learn to live life for me. My younger sister has been divorced for six years and is finally coming out of her shell. I watched her dissolve without having her daughter to focus on, something I keep in the back of my mind.
Let go of being codependent and do.. just do.. for me.
Maybe I'll go make a necklace.. something I haven't done since the head injury a year ago, August 13.
I am very sorry for your son's loss, losing a friend is like losing a spouse hard to let go hard to find a starting point in which to move forward from...
When one spends too much time inside of themselves, they become blinded by the doubt instead of seeing the gift...
Choices of direction can be difficult when we look at them as a road block instead of a path...
Don't forget that growth not only comes from love but also pain neither should be feared but embraced...
You have assets you have forgotten about don't run from them use them to your advantage that's why they are called assets...
If we fear failure then we have already failed, keep working those wings they will carry you to heights you never thought imagineable...
Ahh.. Ready meet Imp... Imp, Ready. No wonder you liked cookie so much!
What are some fun things to do in CT? Or do you know some things?
I'm going to a Divorce Recovery thing on Tuesday. I could have gone to a bonfire tonight with Parents without Partners but I was chilling aimlessly. Those are 'get out of the house things' but not in the 'fun' category yet.
There's a sunflower maze about 1/2 hour away.. interesting but not exciting. I've always been so focused on family.. whether my own, my siblings, my in-laws.. I'M STUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once again the realization washes over me that this isn't a game. My life as I knew it is ending. A new one is beginning. I still have trouble wrapping my head around the fact he left in such a devious, cruel manner. Boom. Gone. And it's over.
I read about other folks looking forward to a new relationship, someone who will be better. I've always believed that you can love more than one person in your life. That love is like a faceted diamond. No love will ever be the same as the other. But with something new you discover a whole other side of yourself.. something brilliant and sparkling you never knew existed.
It's like kids. No one child is the same as the other. Each brings something different to the mix.
I look at men now.. sorta.. something I haven't done since I met him... geez... 26 years ago. I honestly can't believe I am this age. Perhaps I've been in limbo so long I don't know how to tell time. I think.. "Who would want me?" Man oh man, who would I want? Approaching a relationship with boundaries, expectations, communicating rather than solely the intangible sense of love conquers all is a concept.
Your new dream home sounds lovely... so please continue practicing "The Secret" by picturing it in your mind over and over again. It will come to be!
And with regards to fun.... sometimes the most mundane things can be twisted into fun.. you just have to be imaginative which you, my sweet, are!!!!!
And lastly, you are braver than I. I can't even picture another man... If things don't work out with my H I think a man would have to throw himself in front of my car for me to notice him... I'm terrified at the thought of putting myself out there.
